FWIW - I have a pair of the 2009 Impact Lows that saw a few years of use before I moved to lighter/less bulky Freeriders. I pulled them down off the shelf and just started wearing them as day to day shoes to use them up. Super comfy for all day wear pounding around on hard surfaces and unlike newer 5.10s no issues with the shoes just falling apart on me.
Reports over at MTBR say the new version of the Impact Lows are a pale comparison to this 2009 model in build quality. Too bad as they were the shoe that got me hooked on 5.10 and flat pedals after decades clipped in.
