Northwave Extreme Tech Plus: Extreme light foot

Making high-quality cycling shoes is the strength of the Italian manufacturer Northwave. Apart from its unique color, the model impresses with its legendary lightness: 235 grams weighs the "Schühlein". Responsible for this is a super stiff carbon sole consisting of five layers. The upper part of the road shoe is thermowelded, which is why there is no seam and thus friction points between foot and shoe. The closure system S.L.W.2 is also unique. At the two wheels can be tightened by simply turning the cable and adjust the shoe evenly and finely dosed, even while driving. Clearly, this exquisite high-end cycling shoe also costs something: Fr. 499.90 UVP. More info at www.platts.ch or www.northwave.it.
