Northwave Evolution S.B.S. Shoe - Men's White/Black, 47.0

Description

As soon as we saw the Northwave Evolution S.B.S. Cycling Shoe we were fired up to take it out for a spin. Just look at all that mesh! Along with a ton of ventilation, the Evolution features NorthwaveAAAs exclusive Wood-Lasting Insole. Northwave takes advantage of woodAAAs natural vibration-damping qualities to reduce the fatigue that results from your muscles being rattled for hours in the saddle. ItAAAs this kind of innovative thinking thatAAAs propelled Northwave to the top of the cyling shoe food chain and is likely to keep it there for quite a while.Northwave used BioMap (Biomechanical Mapping) analysis to design the Evolution S.B.S. Cycling Shoe. Athletes are tested extensively to help Northwave design products that work in perfect synergy with the bodyAAAs systems. This testing ensures optimal fit, comfort, and performance. Biomap testing contributes to every design aspect of the shoes, including cut design, seam positioning, and material selection. What all this means is shoes that work with your body to optimize performance. What it really means is that you go stronger, faster, and farther.One of the most annoying problems with a lot of the shoes weAAAve demoed is their tendency to feel loose about an hour into the ride. The S.B.S. (Step By Step) ratcheting system eliminates this problem by providing stable closure that wonAAAt come undone or loosen up while you ride. It allows you to dial in a precise fit so you can maximize pedaling efficiency without having to deal with hot spots and blisters. The Tenso Strap system lets you make fast, precise adjustments to the fit of the shoe while youAAAre still on the bike. Northwave is even able to ensure proper strap alignment by using over-injected material on the sides of the Tenso strap that guides the strap into place while you make quick adjustments. The carbon fiber soleplate is much lighter than other, less costly sole materials.
