Hi how does the Shimano RT82 SPD Road Shoes 2015 compare with Northwave Sonic SRS Shoes 2015?

Fit?
Stiffness?
Amount of venting?
That sort of stuff :)
Cheers

    I think you ask a very difficult question. Unlikely anyone will have experience of both and they are in many ways quite different shoes.

    THe Shimano one is an SPD shoe whereas the other is SPD-SL. Two different cleat/pedal systems. How anyone else can advise you on fit is a bit beyond me. As for stiffness, unless you are quite "pro" I doubt you will notice much perceptible difference. SPD-SL sometimes described as stiffer than the SPD cleat.

    Personally I wear Specialized road shoes and have done for the last two years. Cant see me changing them soon

    The north wave had always been very good quality. And they are dual fit so you cab put pretty much any pedal system on them. If you can live with the colour i would go for them
