Triathlon Shoes
Northwave tri shoes come with the same cleat system, stiff sole and shape you’d expect from a typical road shoe. However, this brand leads the way with the best triathlon shoes that deliver sport-specific features. Their high-performance triathlon cycling shoes come with a wide opening that allows you to get your foot in and out quick-smart. When it comes to transition times - marginal gains are crucial! A simple yet genius feature on Northwave triathlon bike shoes is the heel loop, which makes it easier to get the shoe on when it’s already clipped into the pedal. The velcro strap allows for speedy fastening. Models feature uppers and (perforated) footbeds to encourage a good transfer of air for breathability and to keep the foot from overheating. A clever heel design coaxes the foot into just the right position within the shoe whilst anatomical arch support encourages even distribution of power into the pedals. For premium shoes that are superior in comfort and quality, choose Northwave.
