Think of the Five Ten Impact 2 Low Shoes kind of like winter tires for your feet -- slipping simply isn't an option. Unlike winter tires however, the Impact 2 Low's are fit for year-round wear. Designed with a Slingshot construction to prevent heel-lift and a lateral mesh tongue to promote continuous breathability, the Five Ten Impact 2 Low Shoes are mountain bike kicks that are so comfy you'll find yourself guiltily wearing 'em around town too. But hey, no judgement here!
