My experience with the Northwave SLW2 and their warranty it's been deluding.
When i was still on one pair of shoes for all the bikes, through grit and mud their system wires lasted under a year. I went to the retailer i bought them from (as per Northwave warranty) and paid 10€.
The next year, same story, another 10€.
For comparison, Sidi own lacing system wires lasted me well into 3 years of four seasons apocalypse.
And then of course there's BOA that replaced the laces on my well busted 5:10 for free, actually they just handed me a pair at a fair without those wires having even broken yet.
Northwave shoes are not bad but i feel like i have to pay a yearly fee to wear them.
