Northwave Multicross Plus Cycling Shoes - Black / EU 42 - Vibram Fort Augustus Sole, SLW3 Dial, SPD Compatible

Where most mountain bike shoes force a choice between pedaling stiffness and hike-a-bike grip, the Northwave Multicross Plus refuses to compromise. Built around a Vibram Fort Augustus outsole and an EVA midsole with a stiffness index of 10.0, it delivers confident power transfer on the pedals and sure-footed traction when you dismount. This is a shoe for riders who treat every trail as an invitation, from all-mountain descents to enduro stages and e-bike explorations.

Highlights

• Vibram Fort Augustus rubber outsole with optimized tread for wet and dry grip
• SLW3 dial closure plus one Velcro strap for precise, secure fit
• Ripstop upper with TPU anti-abrasion inserts and reinforced toe cap
• EVA midsole for cushioning and vibration damping
• 2-bolt SPD cleat compatibility (MTB standard)
• Perforated upper for ventilation; integrated heel retention system
• Performance footbed included

In daily use

On long enduro rides, the SLW3 dial lets you micro-adjust tension on the fly, while the Velcro strap locks the forefoot. The Vibram Fort Augustus sole bites into loose dirt and rock, and the EVA midsole absorbs trail chatter, reducing fatigue. The ripstop fabric resists abrasion from brush and debris, and the TPU inserts protect high-wear zones. When you clip in, the stiff sole transfers energy efficiently, yet walking remains comfortable thanks to the lugged outsole and midsole flex.
