When the company designed the Impact shoe for mountain biking sales were slim due to cross country riders were all getting into spd's at the time. Sales were so bad in fact they nearly stopped producing the shoe a few years ago, but then the emerging freeride and downhill scene got ahold of them. The shoe being super sturdy and able to grab the pedals in all conditions along with 5.10's shock absorbing insoles are just what these bikers had been looking for. These shoes are now worn by world cup downhill champs, freeride legends and dirt jump jam winners all over the world.
I laced on a pair of these a while ago and will never ride anything else again. Sturdy and sticky is the only way to describe these shoes, no matter how high how fast or how muddy i get my feet are always were I left them. Also they have everything a good shoe should have:
- sturdy insole
- leather upper
- s1 stealth rubber sole
- world cup stripes
- an outline of Australia
- and snakeskin
- oh yeh they come in black to
