Eddy Gordo Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I just ordered some impact vxi. Still in shock that ive paid 2400 rand for shoes. Its absurd. But im excited nonethelessJor thats heavy, I paid half that, but you will love it

RiverInTheRoad Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Where do you buy them patches? Thought about inporting but I wanted the after sale support as ive heard the new ones have had quality issues

patches Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Where do you buy them patches? Thought about inporting but I wanted the after sale support as ive heard the new ones have had quality issuesThe Sam Hills, Red Barons, and Maltese Falcons all came from CRC. The first pair of Impact VXi came from www.bike-components.de (Germany) The Freerider VXi and latest pair of Impact VXi came from www.probikeshop.com (France). The trick with ProBikeShop is that shipping is pretty heavy (€40, but often delivered in 2-3 workng days). So unless you're placing a pretty big order it's not always worth it.
RiverInTheRoad Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 You have quite a collection! Do you find the impacts hot? They dont seem to have much ventilation. I will find out soon enough probably
Eddy Gordo Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 The reviews say they are hot. I have yet to experience this probably because in summer I wear thin socks
patches Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 You have quite a collection! Do you find the impacts hot? They dont seem to have much ventilation. I will find out soon enough probably I'm not one that really gets bothered by hot feet. I guess they are slightly on the warm side, but not so much that I have really noticed or can even compare to any other shoe.
Capricorn Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 will perhaps require a thread split, but first impressions of the Adidas Terrex Cross Trails:sizing on pointsnug fitsole's alot stiffer than the last two generations of 5.10 freeriders.slightly heavier than last generation Freeriders VXi. Weighed in at 443g with laces versus 412g.look a lot more casual than 5.10ssole still sticky to the finger Classic Stealth rubber awesomeness!Yet to ride em, but that's this weekend's mission. Maybe even find out if Skylar's Holes are watering holes or not

But at the same time my wallet thanks you. With a 3 week old pair of Impact VXi's I really didn't need new riding shoes, although they still look pretty cool!

Those observations will come out of the wash so to speak, but in the interim, keen to see how they feel ridden and walked up and down a few trails.
Super_mil Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 UK9 FTW Have to say that after my initial fears of the online store being a scam, as I committed to paying for the shoes, Mikka were a great online store and super efficient. I'll comment on the shoes when I actually ride in them (so when the rain stops here ). They also have the Adidas Terrex Solo which I've read other guys have used as bike shoes with good results.
