What has long been established for hiking shoes has been a long time coming for special bike shoes. For 2005, Northwave is now presenting for the first time an all-weather shoe that is both waterproof and breathable thanks to the generous use of the GoreTex membrane. Because the tongue of the shoe is continuous and the GoreTex reaches up to the ankles, you can even traipse through shallow water in this shoe without it turning into a Kneipp cure. An ideal purchase for the coming cold and damp season.
