I would also buy those shoes..Tried to get some just as they stopped them !
How did SUGAR mtn trail scoping go ??
---Any hope for some better lines there !??
It's hard to drive an extra 1.5 hrs to go up there instead of WINDROCK !
I would rather deal with shuttling than those SLOW-lifts !!!
I am also planning a tip to Whistler next year
Are you flying or Driving ?
I plan on flying for $550 round trip to Vanvouver BC--But WHAT about ground transportation ??

10 years later...bump for the sake of necrothreading
as long as i can find loteks for 30-40 bucks online, i will never own a pair of 5.10s 
do you even dh bro
i fuking hate my Tevas so ya gimme a pair of them fiddy tens yo
they can't be beat...that being said, QC has diminished recently. Area by the toe is always peeling off. they need to sew that shit.
Like most things in life, it's butch's fault.
If he hadn't started this thread, 5.10s would still just be climbing shoes.
The new Impact sole lasts only a couple of rides. WTF?
And why is Sir Sam Hill still using old Impacts?
Oh, and please gimme a high top that doesn't feel like you are wearing a brick because of the weight. And no, the Line King is no option.

New ones are way, way lighter. I have 5 rides on mine with no peeling.
The second pair of Impact IIs I had did start peeling a little bit quite quickly but then stopped and worked fine but looked like ass.
These XVIs look like ass also, but in a new, different way.

Just about destroyed not just one but two pairs of the new Impact VXI shoes (bought 2 pairs in once because they felt good) in about two months. The sole rips off and starts peeling. Otherwise nice shoes but the sole is just not up for it. Has anybody got them warrantied? Emailed the European HQ but they never got back to me...
There's nothing wrong with the Impact 2. Hope they still produce them?

I hate my XVI soles.
It may be the Straitline AMP pedals, but the grip is less than stellar and my feet bounce off in chunder.
They also are just torn up with massive holes in the sole from the pins.
Uppers look mint and I like the weight but fuck the soles straight to hell.
My buddy had same issues and switched to the new impacts.
He's much happier in terms of grip, I need to check and see how the soles are holding up.
I wear 5.10s for casual use too (not riding shoes) and the overall quality is best described as average.

I had Freerider VXI Elements where one of the soles started peeling off from the middle (there was kind of a bubble under the ball of the foot). Five Ten Europe warrantied them and gave me a new pair.
A friend of mine bought them in the middle of August and had now maybe10-15 riding days. The soles are already completely torn from the pins. He's riding Saint pedals. They look already like my old Freeriders after two full seasons.
That's what I'm talking about and imo is not acceptable.
I think that this kind of wear is caused by the even softer rubber of the vxi generation.
Yep, soles have been coming off my Impacts. Been using shoe goo to keep them going. Seems like the quality has gone down since being bought out by Adidas.
all this time and they are still too damn sticky...
i've had a pair since 2006. they are still in great shape. although I wouldn't mind a new pair.
i have a couple year old pair of Impacts , the sole has seperated at the toes , but other then that the shoe is in good condition , i also have freerider VXI and they are a few months old and show signs of wear on the soles already
My Impact VXi's are a little older than your friends and I've put a fair bit more riding on mine. They've seen long days pedaling, lift-access days, and occasional off the bike casual use. I can only speak from my personal experience, but mine are holding up just fine. Speaking of personal experience, I try to only comment on things here when I have used them myself especially when I'm praising something or slagging it for being crap. Here's a picture of mine from this morning after another 7 hours in the woods yesterday.
I have been using the Cyclones this season. The sole started peeling around the cleat after a month. Five Ten replaced them without any problems. The second pair started peeling after a month as well... I have another replacement pair on the way. Their customer service is definitely excellent. I love the shoes but I can't have them peeling on me when I haven't even had a full season on them. I think I'll be selling my new pair and get something else 
Up to 7 days on my XVIs with no signs of peeling.

and this is one of the many reasons I started riding clipless for DH. Shimano AM45's held up great all season and are lighter and more comfortable than my 5.10's.
never looking back
