“Nice technology, poor graphics”

“Fair enough shoe, and decent technology... alas without a ratchet-type closure... as well as very cheap graphics that WILL RUB off regardless of how easy you are on the shoe. Ive ordered two pairs of these, both came OUT OF THE PACKAGE with graphics rubbed off, and one looked as though someone had tried to cover up the rubbed off graphics with some kind of white paint marker. So... basically its a very standard three strap upper slapped on a pretty nice carbon sole. No more no less. These things seem to run big in euro... so if you have 9.5 feet, you would typically get a 43.5 or so in euro... not with Northwaves. Go a full size down to 42.5.”
