Not tried the new version, but I’m currently running an old pair of Sam Hills and they’re the best biking show I’ve used. Also have a pair of the 2nd Gen Impacts from 2007(ish) and I think next week will be their final Alps trip as they’re fairly worn out and now basically my spare wet weather shoe.
All I want them to do is make the old Sam Hill and Impacts less absorbent and I’ll be a happy man.
Also have a pair of Greg Minnaar SPD shoes I got off eBay for £20 and they’re doing well, but get less use. Also 5:10 don’t have the cleat holes far enough back for my liking and unlike the Shimano DX shoes you can’t just drill/dremel the slots further back (Fabian Barel how to video available online).
