Northwave Drifter GTX (Gore-Tex) MTB Shoes 4 5 17 17

do not buy! This shoe is not waterproof as claimed - the minute there is light rain I get soaked and water puddle and it's not coming from my socks, as my waterproof trousers go all the way down too and over the shoes protecting them from this issue. My non waterproof shoes are drier than these. Adjustability - there is none in terms of cleat/foot position. The cleat plates are sealed into the base of the shoe (presumably to stop water ingress that way), so you only have the option of putting the cleat into either of the two holes in the cleat - you cannot move the cleat plate forward and back. This means if you foot does not fit perfectly into those options, you are riding with your foot in an incorrect position. Result of this can be knee injuries through incorrect alignment I have very wide feet, but found these to be overly roomy, which is a first for me! Basically these are not used at all as can't afford knee issues and can't cope with how much water comes into the shoe, and I am better off wearing my non waterproof ones and keeping drier! Big waste of money 14 August 2013

Great all round trail/commuter shoe Great shoes but the sizing is on the small size. I am a UK10 and the 44s are probably a whole size too small. 01 June 2013

Good features and very comfortable Used these shoes to train and then compete in Yak Attack which requires a lot of hike-a-bike. shoes were perfect for the job, however had to throw them out after the event (6mth use) as the soles on both shoes began to come off. 27 May 2013

Not bad I opted for these shoes after my old Northwave MTB shoes fell apart (it had been 6 years, no issue there). These have a soft vibram sole, not a stiff mid-sole as per most road SPD shoes and some types of MTB shoe. You do notice a reduction in power through-put on the pedal stroke - everything feels a bit too soft. Add to this the shoes come up quite wide and baggy. On the flip side they are grippier in the wet. I use these for commuting currently, for off-road trail use I would recommend something stiffer. I'm not crazy about the lace-up draw-cord system. The lace end tends to flap around and has to be tucked underneath the velcro strap lest it get caught somewhere while pedalling. 30 April 2013

Answer:

Yes, this shoe is designed for the Shimano SPD cleat system. However, the cleat will still hit the ground (at least when the cleat is installed as far forward as it goes)

Hello. Do these shoes come with cleats? Also, I've read they come up a bit small. My Shimanos are a 44, should I order a 45?

Answer:

No the shoes do not come with cleats. You should order a 45 as they are a bit small but not as narrow as the Shimano shoes.

Answer:

I can confirm that these shoes do not come with cleats as these will be supplied with pedals.

I would suggest the 44 size would be best.

Answers

Answer:

This would officially be 43, but I bought 42 which are labelled UK8.5. They were closer to 7.5 in fact, so if you do buy these I'd recommend going a size up and getting a 44.
