Description
The Northwave Core Plus 2 Road Cycling Shoes sit at a practical sweet spot for Indian road riders — offering a stiff sole for efficient power transfer, adjustable closure for a precision fit, and ventilation that actually earns its keep when temperatures climb past 38°C on climbs around Lonavala, Ooty, or the Bhor Ghat. Cobbled Climbs is the authorised retailer for Look in India.
Use Cases
Daily training. Stiff sole and breathable upper for repeated training in Indian heat and humidity.
Race day. Power transfer and snug retention for competitive efforts.
Indoor training. Compatible with indoor trainer cleats for structured Zwift, TrainerRoad, or Wahoo SYSTM workouts.
Our Take
For riders in Pune, Hyderabad, or Chennai who log consistent kilometres in punishing heat, the Core Plus 2 makes a sensible choice. The ventilated upper keeps feet cooler than most entry-level road shoes, while the stiff sole ensures watts translate to the rear wheel rather than flex. At Rs. 13,900, it positions itself as a durable daily trainer and weekend-ride shoe without asking race-shoe money.
Sizing for Indian Riders
Northwave shoes generally run true to EU size, but Indian riders who carry wider forefeet — common across South and West India — should consider sizing up half a size. Always try with your cycling socks. Heel slip means go down; toe pinch means go up. In Mumbai and coastal cities, slight swelling during humid rides is worth accounting for when choosing between two sizes.
Compatibility Notes
Compatible with both 3-bolt road cleats (SPD-SL/Look standard) and, where the shoe allows, 2-bolt MTB cleats (SPD). Cleats are sold separately — confirm your pedal system before ordering. Third-party insoles fit the footbed without modification. Closure dials are user-serviceable. Avoid prolonged soaking during monsoon rides; dry at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
Pairs Well With
Round out your setup with a set of road pedals and matching cleats, thin merino or synthetic cycling socks for hot-weather comfort, neoprene shoe covers for monsoon commutes through Delhi or Kolkata, and a quality saddle selected for your riding position.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Northwave Core Plus 2 best used for?
The Core Plus 2 is best suited to road training rides, weekend sportives, and regular long-distance cycling. Its stiff sole and ventilated upper make it well matched to India's hot riding conditions — whether you're doing laps around Hyderabad, climbing toward Khandala, or riding early-morning routes out of Chennai. It handles daily training mileage without the premium cost of a race-specific shoe.
What size Northwave Core Plus 2 should I order?
Northwave shoes generally fit true to EU size. If you have wider forefeet — a common foot shape among Indian riders — size up by half a size for comfort on longer rides. Always try the shoes wearing your cycling socks. A snug midfoot and heel with light room at the toes is the target fit. When in doubt, Cobbled Climbs' team can assist via chat or call.
Will the Northwave Core Plus 2 hold up in Indian heat and monsoon conditions?
The Core Plus 2's ventilated upper is a genuine advantage in Indian summers where temperatures regularly exceed 38°C in cities like Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Pune. For monsoon riding, avoid prolonged waterlogging — dry the shoes at room temperature after wet rides and store away from direct sunlight. Pairing with neoprene shoe covers extends usability through the rainy season on Indian roads.
How does the Northwave Core Plus 2 compare to entry-level cycling shoes?
Compared to basic cycling shoes, the Core Plus 2 offers improved sole stiffness for better power transfer and a more considered closure system for a precise fit. Entry-level shoes often flex under load, wasting pedalling effort — noticeable on sustained climbs in the Western Ghats or Coorg. The Core Plus 2 sits in the mid-range, giving meaningful performance gains without the cost of a top-tier race shoe.
Is the Northwave Core Plus 2 worth Rs. 13,900 in India, and what warranty applies?
At Rs. 13,900 with free delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500 and cash on delivery available across India, the Core Plus 2 offers solid value for road riders seeking stiff-soled performance without paying for race-level features they may not need. For warranty queries, Cobbled Climbs handles brand warranty support on all Northwave products sold through the store — contact the team directly for claim assistance.
