Hey all I am working to get my new pedal setup complete and going the platform five-ten route. I had planned on going with the five-ten impact low's but recently saw the new model of the savant which claims to be a multisport focus and I was curious if anyone had seen or heard anything about their performance as a biking shoe.

It looks less bulky and more breathable than the impacts, though I have seen neither of them in person so I am not sure if this might be an optical illusion of the pictures on the site. I like the impacts alot but I dont want a really bulky shoe and the idea of having a shoe I could use for hiking and the like is intriguing to me.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, anyone have a pair of impacts they have used for other stuff like hiking?

Freeriders on the way! Dont plan on using them for hiking or anything else!

The soles on the savant are not going to be stiff like the freeride shoes.

Thanks for the comments guys. I kinda figured that, JiB, but was hoping that maybe it was passable. I do more riding than hiking but was hoping to possibly find something from five-ten that would be usable for both, not sure that is going to work at this point.
