The Five Ten Impact 2 tightens the connection between you and you bike by locking your feet to the pedals with super tacky Stealth S1 rubber soles. That's the same rubber used for 5.10's climbing shoes, so you know it's gonna lock you in. Not just a bike shoe, the stiff sole is complimented by a conforming insert and a shock absorbing midsole. The low cut is perfect for riding in full leg armor or for hot days in the saddle.
- Action leather uppers quickly shed mud and water while protecting your feet on wild rides
- Stealth S1 soles provide grip on a myriad of surfaces and especially on flat pedals
- The midsole is lightweight and cushioned for comfort
- Feet are secured in place thanks to slingshot construction in the heel
- Quick and easy to secure with the barrel lace closure
- Accents of reflective silver for added visibility in low light conditions
- Uppers: Synthetic action leather
- Midsole: Polyurethane
- Outsole: Stealth S1 rubber

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This shoe is a great companion for any flat pedal user looking for more control and grip on their next ride. The Stealth rubber used in the sole of the shoe is unlike any other sole material I have ever experience. It almost adheres to the pedal, giving you amazing control.
The only negatives I have with this shoe is that the sole makes marks on many surfaces, and on first couple of wears the shoe was too narrow and almost gave me a blister. After a week of riding in Utah however, the shoe fits wonderfully.
