Surely it's intentional that the Vibram Sole on the Northwave Multicross flat pedal shoe is named after Fort William, one of the most famous downhill MTB tracks in the world. It's not? Oh well, it should be.

The Fort Williams sole made by Vibram is designed to empower traction and braking with an unparalleled grip on wet and dry surfaces whether riding or walking. TheEVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole reduces weight while improving shock absorption.

The simple laced closure is a classic way to wrap your foot and keep an eye on simplicity.

The Multicross features abrasion-resistant welded synthetic layers in its upper construction that provide superior protection with minimized thickness and weight and large breathable mesh inserts keep your feet cool on hot days.

The soft tongue provides additional comfort and supreme all-day support from the ankle to the forefoot.

Whether you're commuting, gravel grinding, multi-day touring, hitting the gnarliest trails, or just riding around this is an airy cycling shoe that lets your feet breathe and keeps you cool even in the summer heatwave, without sacrificing traction on or off the bike.
