| These are my first foray into clipless, and I'm happy I spent the extra $ to get these, as opposed to other entry-level shoes.
They're quite light and airy, even in 100+ heat. The footbed is pretty hard, so you may want to get some soft inserts, but the power transfer to the pedals is great.
Also, I've had to get off the bike and walk about a half mile on a trail (broken chain), and the outsole did incredibly well.
I'm happy with my purchase. Definitely consider Northwave as a cheaper alternative to SIDI or P.I. |

| I've had these for about 1 1/2 months and have put about 200 miles on them so far. I had an old pair of 661s that I wore for about 4 years and these are definitely stiffer soled, but not overly so. They seem to have a real nice balance of comfort and stiffness and with the Utah weather turning cold (in the high 40s low 50s) I like the venting because it isn't so free flowing that you freeze your toes off. The toe box is pretty big compared to my 661s or even my roadie Northwaves and the sole inserts could use more arch but thats pretty normal. |

| tried 2 different pairs to match US size 13 (46 and 48). Both were narrow and did not have enough room in the toe box. Seemed like a well built shoe with good closure system, but could not find a size that worked for me. |

| I'm a wide size 11 - the 45.0 fits great. Wore these in a 50 mile hike-a-bike race out of the box. Secure and great for rambling. No more numb feet. Highly recommend these for mtb or road. I couldn't imagine a better shoe than this for only $89 bucks. |

| The catch with Northwave shoes is that their sizing isn't very consistent across different models. It's as if the shoes are based off of a normal or a large last, and you have to get to know which model falls into which category. The Raptor is in the same category as the Rockster - meaning that the internal volume is huge for its size. It's difficult to cinch down the straps tight enough. You may want to consider installing a thicker insole. |

| I ordered and returned a 44, it was just barely too small. I wear a 10.5. If it had a wider toe area, or i had a more narrow foot, it would have been fine. I returned it for a 44.5
The shoes felt great otherwise! high quality stuff |

| Really happy with these so far. Comfortable, great closure system. Sizing wise these do have a bit more volume than most (which is great in my opinion). However, the northwave sizing chart may be a bit off. I wear a 10-10.5 wide shoe. I picked up a 43.5 and 44 and sent the ones back that didn't fit. The 43.5 was a shade too short, the 44 just a tad too long. But I went with the 44 and added a nice insole (powerfeet standard) and could not be happier. The buckle closure system and microadjust ability is just outstanding. I picked up the 44's for 90 bucks and they are the best MTB shoes I've owned.
Go ahead and get some, particularly if you have a slightly wider foot. |

| I've had these out on 5-6 rides and I like them so far. Nice and stiff, but still comfortable. It's nice that there is a one-click-out button in case they start feeling too tight around ankle mid-ride. Like other reviewers are saying, they are good for wider, higher-volume feet. If in doubt, order a 1/2 size higher. |

| Great shoe. Questionable Northwave size chart conversion. Make sure you know what your size is before you buy. I wear a 9 1/2 - 10 shoe but ended up getting a 43.5. Love the buckle system and the ease of no laces. Solid shoe when off the bike and hoofing. Great ventilation, stable platform, and no complaints so far. |

| This is a really nice shoe, a bit on the wide side, and at least 1/2 size small. Good quality though, not quite the level of a Sidi, but much lest expensive. |
