Here's the new version: http://tinyurl.com/49rlko

I have three pair of the first version and they are the absolute best
shoe for MUni/coker/trials, ect that I have ever owned! Incredible grip,
long wearing, very comfy with ankle protection.


you sold me dude!

I have the older version 5.10 Impacts (like MuniAddict's 1st link), 2
pairs, in fact. They're great for everything uni, *-except ankle sprain
protection-*. They're not high enough around the ankle to prevent
sprains.

I have had two serious sprains with mine. Perhaps the newer ones are
high enough?

I use lightwt ankle braces like Kevin (phlegm) for rough muni.



I got the 5/10s and like them a lot. I stopped wearing my ankle
supports because they seem so beefy.
I haven't kick a boulder yet, but the toes seems pretty protected.

I like them with the schlumpf too. I shift with the ankles instead of
the heels.

The house of the Old lady who, to my knowledge lives in a shoe, offers
for some great urban trials.

same for me: I started wearing a pair of 5/10 hi impact and stopped
using 661 ankle support. some time ago I had a very bad fall including a
bad twist for my ankles and survived (almost) unarmed. (too bad I also
severely twisted my wrist: now I wear huge hockey wrist protections all
the time).

I'm happy to see that so many people have bought the 5.10 high impacts!
Glad mine and others reviews could help.

I would not get the 510 impacts for trials.
Trials riders need flexibility and ease of movement. I'd hate to ride a
rail with these shoes.

Me too! I'd rather use my trials for that, lol! Although that might be
fun come to think of it..."shoe grinding!"

If I wore those Impacts, my feet would burn up in the summer. I have to
wear white or light colored shoes for summer Muni rides. I wear stiff
soled (usually meaning New Balance) running shoes that have a bridge in
the arch.

I wear McDavid ankle braces. 'These have a slot where you can add a
stiffener' (http://tinyurl.com/9bh9hh). I made my own inserts from a
sheet of 24X36X1/16" plastic. I've tried thicker plastic, but it was
uncomfortable because it wouldn't mold to my food, putting a lot of
pressure on my ankles.

I tried that lace up brace w/ the velcro straps in the store and if
felt like it had a bit more support than my McDavid's, but not even
close when I added my inserts.

Swede-O makes
some
similar braces. They have more lace eyelets and if you use them,
a tad more support. But my McDavid's allow me to put in slightly bigger
inserts, making the McD's more supportive w/ them.

A couple of arguments for braces are you have a much wider selection of
shoes, and each brace has lasted me at least as long as 2 pairs of
shoes.
