Available in four colorways for women (pure platinum, pink pow, white and black) and four colorways for men (wolf grey, black, photo blue and dark grey), the Nike FI Impact 2 comes with a one-year waterproof warranty.

The Nike FI Impact 2 is available now at nike.com and select retailers.

I need a white pair for the men....

[ckay]

Those white ones are slick.

[BoogieThumper]

Yeah so I want the women's version of these. The men's version are hideous

[Uncle Chunk]

I agree Ckay! The white are sick!

[chocolate_rehab]

Nooo, I don't need more shoes!

[Unteachable]

I tried them on the other day and found them very comfortable. More roomy in the toe box than last years version. A little firmer feel due to the change in the sole. I actually had to go down a half size if I were to get them.

Men's colorways are sub par. What is so hard with making neutral colorways?

[rburchjr]

Like the look of the women's shoe over the men's. Better design and colors.

Tried on a pair of Nike FI Bermudas today. I believe these are the non-waterproof version of the FI Impact 2. Very nice shoe, and the "Platinum" colorway was pretty nice. Surprisingly the size 13 fit great. Nice wide toebox, plenty of traction, and relatively flat profile.

I have a pair of Puma Faas Lite Mesh that are basically new or I would have picked these up. For some reason, the Pumas do not seem as comfy as they were last year. After a full round the feet are feeling it. I did twist my ankle a month ago on a mud run, so that could be part of the problem. But, I spent 20 minutes in the Bermudas rolling some putts and the support, was nice without being overbearing like some of the Ecco and Footjoy models.

I totally agree.

Any reviews on these? They have been out for a little bit now. I just ordered a pair in the lighter color after trying them on at Golfsmith. I was a fan of the original version, with my only criticism being a little bit of a steep drop. The new version seem to have a flatter drop and a bit more cushion-y. Look forward to getting them in the mail.

I have a pair. I had a tough time finding shoes that fit me last year. I had actually bought a LC3 that I had to return and exchange for a different size and that did not fit either so I ended up in these. These fit great. Have worn them for 2 rounds and they are very comfortable. I did slip once on wet grass on a downhill lie during a swing though.

For those that have them how do they fit? Do they run true to size or a little big/small?

They fit me true to size, I wore them two weeks ago.

 

Played in dry conditions, didn't slip and gripped really well. Better than the first model. Which was too stiff and "plastic-like".

Ok thanks. I have the first pair and I like them ok. I've been eyeing the 2's and saw a deal on a pair a half size smaller than what I normally wear so I guess I should probably just spend a little more and get my normal size.

Glad to hear that they improved these from the originals. I had a pair in black and volt and they were good at first but after a few months they were uncomfortable and the grip wasnt good. I went back to lunar controls.

[Unteachable]

I went a half size down from the previous model and the new ones fit well. Better traction than the previous model and slightly less comfortable. Maybe a little harder to keep clean

This is where I get a little confused. I've heard some say they're true to size, others say a half size up, and like you some have went a half size down. I have last year's model and if anything they're a touch bigger than my normal size.

[drn92]

My boys have both. Youngest with v1 and oldest with v2. Both really like them. V2, to me, is lower drop and more comfy ... primarily due to a rounded toe box.

Are these as "flat" as the TW15's?

Nike's Free 5.0 shoes tend to hurt my back so I was never interested in the TW15's but these look to have an thicker sole.

Would love to find something to replace my TW14's.

I have the all white FI Impact's. They are very comfortable but the material they used did not hold up well to staining so it was hard to keep clean. If i chose the black version, I think they would have held up better. The spikes on the bottom aren't as good as other patterns. My back foot always slipped but not sure if that's because of my swing or not. Hopefully this second version is an upgrade to the first.

I don't think any of the the spikeless shoes have a ton of grip. That's the sacrifice for comfort. The Fi impacts have little grip so I try to wear them on flat courses when it's not wet. On the flip side the sole on my lunar waverly's have more grip but you're constantly have to scrap the bottom with a tee to keep the dirt and grass from building up. I have a pair of Fi impact 2's that should be here tomorrow. Got a deal on a half size smaller than my usual size but if they fit like the original I should be good.

Sweet, I hope you like them. I still use my Air Ranges and have better stability with them.

Not sure if spikeless and softspikes are the same thing but my air ranges have this sole which doesn't slip.

Got them today and the half size down fit perfect. Pretty good deal too, $65 brand new but without the original box.

Great deal, I think retails for $140 new.
