Northwave Revenge

Price Paid:  $1750.00

Summary:
Had these shoes as a bargain from eBay so quite sceptical and unsure of the quality. What a surprise, brilliant shoes though the upper seems to be cheap cardboard type leather. My left toes go numb on long rides but what can I say for the amount I paid for them.

Would recommend to everyone but not at the RRP

Price Paid:  $65.00 at eBay

Bike Setup:
Felt F75 w/ Ultegra

Summary:
Great bang for your buck. Sole is amazing for the price range. Bottom line is I put these on and forget I'm wearing shoes at all. Mine fit perfect and have exceeded my expectations. Before I got them I read about bad graphics and them rubbing off. Mine still look great after 6 months.

Strengths:
Sole is very stiff, especially for price range. Great ventilation.

Weaknesses:
Would not mind the ratchet/buckle rather than 3 straps but hey, can't have it all for this price.

Only used the Shimano RT51 other than this. I liked it but for the price I could not pass this one up

Summary:
Nice sole for the price, odd sizing, and ridiculously poor sublimated graphics on the shoe make it abnormally easy for the graphics to almost wipe off.

Strengths:
Sole is the sole saving grace for this shoe. Nice somewhat stiff carbon sole is nice.

Weaknesses:
graphics will almost wipe off and will undoubtedly be scraped, and look shoddy within days of use.
