Northwave Aereator shoes

[[email protected]]

I just revieved my Northwave Aereator shoes. Am I glad I didn't pay the
350$ msrp price. I am a bit disappointed wih the shoes. I orginally
thought the shoes were a leather upper. But they some sort of neylon
reinforced mesh. They have this plastic ventilator system on the side.
This looks likes like a good idea, but my guess is that they will crack
after a few years. The shoe comes with a carbon fiber sole. It will be
interested see how well the sole holds up. Personally I think the value
of a cmposite sole is negligible at best.

I used to work in a bike shop and I think a lot of the prices are
outlandish these days. It's sort of ridiculuous to spend several
hundred dollars on a shoe when you know that you are going to thrash
the shoes after a few seasons if you race a lot.
