I've finally scored some Northwave boots! Questions???

Post by gradyh » Friday 28 January 2005, 2:38

Well, after 2 seasons of hard looking, I've finally managed to find a pair of Northwave's :D I bought them from a guy in Laufen, Switzerland on Richardo.ch. They are the Nexus models, black shell, red buckles. They seem to be very similar to the .900's. They have a different look to them than the .900's. The Nexus have little squares on the sides of the shells, and the back of the boot (heel to calf) has a square shape, where the .900's are round shaped. The Nexus also seem to have slightly different buckles. More plastic and less wire than the .900's. The Nexus also have a big screw on the outside heel. When you turn the screw, it raises the heel of the footbed inside. Does the .900's have this adjustment :?:
Does anybody know what the differences are between the Nexus and the .900's, stiffer, softer, etc :?:
Why does everyone take out the Northwave liners and use the Thermoflex liners :?:
Thanks in advance for the replies!
