Northwave Fahrenheit GTX Road Shoe sizing?

simon johnson

Anybody got these; I'm usually a 42 and was going to buy a 43 to account for bigger socks etc Now I'm thinking I should get a 44 as I hear that these are a fairly narrow, tight-fitting shoe.

Can anybody help?

i wouldn't buy an expensive shoe without knowing it fitted... (i assume you are thinking mail order, hence the post)

can you find a NW dealer & try them on - shoes are such a personal item....sending stuff back coz it doesn't fit is a ball ache.

if you already have shoes from the brand, it allows you to buy online with some sixing confidence - e.g. i've has shimano road shoes in a 42, and i know i'm a 42 in shimano, so i could buy a new set from Planet X, confident they would fit.

I have the Celcius winter boot in a 45, I usually wear a 45 in my other shoes (Sidi) so like for like imo . There is quite alot of volume at the toe box. Big socks /no problem.

IME Northwave shoes (I've 3 pairs) are fairly regular in sizing in comparison to the likes of Sidi (+3prs) where you need to go +1 Euro size i.e. take you regular shoes size. My Mrs reckons I'm the Imelda Marcos of cycling footwear - 12 pairs at present

I'm same as supergoose. 45 in Specialized road shoes but feel plenty of room in a Northwave 45 where I wear Defeet woolie socks.
