The Freerider Impacts are better than most, but still only a little water resistant. If they were SPD shoes nobody’d say they were a winter option, but us flattists are used to grippy sponges so they seem great. They’re not, they’re just not terrible. They do dry faster though.
The new Impact VXIs are pretty water resistant and they don’t have that sponge factor either but they’re, IMO, absolutely awful to ride in- they’re grippy but they’ve got absolutely zero feel. I thought maybe it was just me then I discovered Sam Hill refused to wear his VXI Signature Model 😆 Sold mine and good riddance.
Some of the Sombrios are pretty decent- I have some of the fugly purple X Shazams, they’re still not very waterproof but they’re hi-top and more resistant than the Elements. They’ve also got less absorbent material inside so they don’t hold as much water. But the sole’s not as grippy. (it’s grippy enough, most of hte time, but I really rate the 5 10 grip when things get more marginal- when I’m barely staying on teh bike, or dog tired, or riding stuff that makes me want to cry, it’s a bonus)
