Hands Down

Five.Ten High Impact 2 Shoes



These are the shoes worn by World Champ Sam Hill

The world renowned Impact has been redesigned for an improved fit plus Five.Ten managed to take a bit of weight out as well. For the Impact 2, the collar and Raptor tongue patterns were refined, plus slingshot construction at the heel locks the foot down for a secure and comfortable fit from heel to toe. Reflective silver accents will pop for all those rock star photo shoots. Featuring action leather upper material for lightweight all-season durability. The High Impact 2 was engineered to have a great fit, with and without ankle braces.

Stealth S1 Rubber is sticky and highly durable with maximum shock absorption. Excellent friction means Stealth Rubber soles increase the amount of body weight a rider can exert on his feet before the rubber bond brakes away.
