Nice review slightly biased *cough cough* sponsorship, 
but I have a question.
How do they stack up in the wet and/or muddy conditions? Ive got some killer skate shoes (Globes) with a honeycomb type sole they rock in the dry but are still a bit slippery in the wet.

i had no trouble on the pedals at norwa (which was thick mud at some times) still stick awesome, the mud just cakes outwards.Mahoney_007 said:Nice review slightly biased *cough cough* sponsorship,

Their grip in muddy conditions has a lot to do with your pedals. If they clear mud well enough then the grip is great. No shoe is going to stick to a pedal when there is a centemeter of mud seperating them.
I've never had any trouble keeping my feet on the pedals in muddy conditions with the Easton Flatboy pedals I use. Any pedal with pins seems to go pretty good in the wet.

The sole on my impacts appears not as stiff as my old mt masters, and the tread pattern on the impacts is not as deep as the mt masters.
In all fairness i don't actually think the impacts grip better, i think my mt masters did and its mainly due to the deeper tread pattern meaning the spikes go in further.
The stealth rubber compound is identical so they "should" grip the same.
Not sure though, only really had 1 good day riding them. Could be my imagination.

Yep, the Five-Tens are the best shoes ever made for platform pedals...hands down! Your feet just won't move from the pedals...it is like being clipped in without being clipped in. Not only do your feet stay put, but they are very comfortable and even though the soles are thick, you can still feel your pedals.FR_MANIAC said:
