Shoes that you thought couldn’t get any better…just did! The FiveTen Impact shoe has long been one of the leading Freeride/DH shoes on the market, and recent improvements have added even more desire by implementing some new features. We are sure that there has never been a more confidence-inspiring shoe on the pedals. The FiveTen Action Leather upper material makes for lightweight all-season durability and of course, the Stealth S1 outsoles remain one of the best ways to keep your shoes on the pedals with magnet like contact. The new Slingshot construction at the heel locks down the foot for a secure and comfortable fit from heel to toe. Aesthetically FiveTen has added some smooth silver accents as reflective pinstripes and an incandescent logo for high visibility on twilight rides and to blow up photos when the flash hits you droppin’ the big lines. The collar and ‘Raptor’ tongue patterns were designed with a lace keeper on the tongue to keep shoelaces tight and out of your drivetrain. Personally, we would have liked to see it crafted with a more ’stretchy’ material to assist in keeping the big shoe lace bunny ears a little more secure, but the idea is definitely there. With these design tweaks throughout the shoe it was easy to shed our old beloved pair of FiveTen’s for a fresh new set! Check out a pair and support your local bike shop.
