Can anyone comment on how Northwave sizing compares to other brands? eg. I'm a 49 in a Giro, Sidi or Mavic (which is about a US 14 on most charts). NW's size chart though has their size 48 as a US14 -- is this correct?
Northwave (used to, dunno about current sizing) runs WIDE. I have wide feet so for me a wide shoe fits one size larger than it is. IE 9 reg is about the same as 8 1/2 WIDE.
My Mavic summer shoes are 42 2/3, these are 42.5... but these have room for thick socks where the Mavics do not.
