As someone with flat feet, I like these much better than any other shoe I've tried. SPD shoes are usually shaped for narrow ballerina feet. Flats tend to be a bit wider in the midfoot. What sets the Impact Pros apart from Freeriders for me is the midsole. It's much better at dissipating repeated impacts (no pun intended), so my feet are significantly less sore after sustained descent.
