Introducing the hylo IMPACT, the high-performing everyday trainer with a low environmental impact.

Made with renewable, bio-based materials, the IMPACT is a comfortable, durable training shoe that can be recycled, so it won’t clutter landfills once it wears out. Energize your training with hylo Impact shoes, then drop them off at Fleet Feet to be recycled. Really.

Details:

  • Upper: Lightweight knitted upper for enhanced comfort made from 100% bio-based nylon derived from castor beans, with a DWR coating for water repellency, corn-derived lining, lace closure and gusseted tongue.
  • Midsole: Built with HyperBolt™ technology and designed with PureGlide™ geometry, a supercritical nitrogen-injected foam with added bio-EVA to increase responsiveness and reduce weight. Expertly engineered with a high level of cushioning and a medial side wall to enhance stability and guide your running gait. Moulded for enhanced fit, comfort and support, 20% bio-based foam, 5mm thick.
  • Outsole: Inspired by Formula 1 tyres and their ability to displace water and increase traction, the cutouts between the rubber pods reduce weight and increase ground contact when wet. Made with 60% natural rubber, 2.5mm thick.
  • Laces: Ribbed structure for reduced slip and increased strength made from 100% bio-based Tencel™ Lyocell.

Outfitter's Tip: this is a UNISEX-sized shoe. Men's sizes are shown — women should order 1.5 sizes below their standard running shoe size. For example: for a women's size 9.5 shoe, order a size 8.

What our weartesters are saying:

“The IMPACT has a natural feel on the run with good impact absorption. I love how responsive it is. This shoe definitely can compete head to head with top trainers.”

- Kate

“Not only did I enjoy the feel of the cushioning underfoot, I was especially impressed by the outsole’s grip. I wore these on a morning after heavy rain, and the traction was great.”

- Caroline

“For years, companies have been trying to crack the code on making a premium-quality running shoe while keeping it eco-friendly. Many have failed. However, I was impressed with the underfoot feeling in the Impact. The midsole feels soft and bouncy. It provides some nice energy return, despite not having a plate.”

- Brandon

“The IMPACT feels incredibly light on foot and the midsole is soft and bouncy. Running in them felt smooth and natural, and the shoes seemed to feel like an extension of my foot after a few runs.”

- Tom

I love these shoes, they have a good amount of foam on the bottom and feel like a cross between a nova blast and triumph 22. My favorite thing about them is the room in the toe box. I highly recommend these shoes.
