“Everything we liked about the original Impacts, in a lighter and even grippier package”

While there was no knocking the old Impacts in terms of grip, they were bulky and weighed a ton once wet. The Impact XVis answered those criticisms, but were plagued by durability issues. Thankfully, the new Impact Pros manage to tread the middle ground. The dotty, super-tacky ‘Stealth S1’ sole means they don’t disappoint in the grip department, while a reinforced toe cap wards off accidental knocks and an abrasion-resistant upper boosts durability. On top of all that, the slimmer profile means they feel a little less clumpy underfoot. Their improved looks are welcome too! www.adidasoutd­oor.com/fiveten-brand
