I had previously bought the Lowa Breacher N GTX, but enduring 16 hours in them at a temperature of around 30°C was torture. I bought these Zephyrs and there’s no comparison. They are light, breathable, and very comfortable; after walking 25 kilometers in the mountains in them, I felt no discomfort at all. The best shoes I’ve ever had.

The shoes are comfortable, I deliberately chose the version without GTX so they would be more breathable and lighter. It is worth using some kind of waterproofing treatment to reduce moisture absorption. So far, everything is fine with the shoes.

The shoes are perfect. I always had a problem choosing the right size for my “unusual” feet. The sizing is perfectly matched. I broke the shoes in a few times and then ran the full Grom Challenge in them. They performed excellently; I have no blisters despite being completely submerged in water, and my foot remained stable. That is a very welcome difference compared to other shoes of this type. I recommend them!

I won’t write anything groundbreaking, nothing that hasn’t already been written. The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. 30 thousand steps without burning feet is the best recommendation one can write.

The boots without a membrane are light and breathable, with a super comfortable upper and no pressure points even when tightly laced. After putting them on for the first time, I walked about 6 kilometers through the woods. I didn’t get any chafing or blisters. The heel-to-toe drop is minimal, the cushioning is subtle, but they are quite comfortable to walk in on the trail. The sole is fairly thin and gives good ground feel. In other words, you can feel the stones under the sole, which is a bit unusual for tactical boots. But that’s how it is. The build quality is very good.

Very good boots. The non-GTX version is lighter and more breathable, just right for warmer, dry days. These are also very durable boots, so over time the price becomes more attractive in relation to their lifespan. The only drawback is the fairly slippery sole, which does not match tactical boots in this price range. All in all, they are quality boots worth considering.

These Zephyrs are my favorites right after my trail running shoes. I already had the GTX version before, but for the warmer seasons, I picked ones without a membrane. There is a difference. Both versions are very comfortable. And in the summer, your foot doesn't overheat in the lighter version. The shoes are fairly durable but are a bit slippery on wet stones. Personally, the insoles fit me. At least with mine, nothing bad happens. Generally, these are really cool shoes.

I specifically chose the version without a membrane so it would be more breathable and airy. After a few days, I can preliminarily say that the shoe meets the requirements set. The only downside, not related to the product quality, is the fact that the version without the membrane is more expensive than the GTX (with Gore-Tex), which means you basically pay extra for something that’s not included. #unboxing Militaria.pl

The shoes seem solid, and the materials used are pleasant to the touch. I think the insole could be a bit better, but it's hard for me to judge because I don't have much experience with this type of shoe.

Review for model:

I have the GTX version of these shoes, but this model is about 200 grams lighter per pair. Although it might seem like a small difference, you can feel it when holding each shoe. Unlike the GTX version, I didn't have to break these in—they were comfortable from the start. I really liked the dark brown color; it goes perfectly with NATO olive shades. After walking 7 miles, my socks stayed dry, so the breathability of these shoes is much better, making them perfect for warmer days.

The shoes made a very good impression on me. They are a combination of the lightness and comfort typical of sneakers with the durability of professional tactical boots. The foot is well supported, even during extended walking or intense activities, and the sole offers great traction on various surfaces.

I bought these shoes as durable shoes for everything in the summer: I used them for trekking (probably a total of 600km; from the Kashubian forests through the Lofoten Islands and Abisko). I also use them at the shooting range and for "dirty work." The shoes are definitely durable: there are no cracks in the flex points, the sole is fine even after wearing them in granite mountains. The sole is not hard and does not have much cushioning - it's okay for everyday use, light hiking, but it's a bit worse in rough terrain or with a very heavy backpack. The shoes are wide, but the insole is terrible. I had to buy Superfeet insoles to stabilize my foot in the shoe. To sum up: great all-purpose shoes with some compromises. If someone is looking for shoes for tougher conditions (close to real trekking shoes) I recommend the Z-6N or Z-8N.

Great shoes, the best I've had. Plenty of room for toes, nothing chafes, I have a slim foot and to my surprise, I can lace them properly. I chose the version without Gore-Tex and they've worked excellently for years. Compared to Haix Black Eagle Desert, my feet hardly ever sweat, and I definitely don't get any chafing or numbness.

I recommend them, very comfortable shoes. This is my second pair of Zephyr and I'm satisfied with both. The version without Gore-Tex is perfect for summer, light and airy. The MK2 version has a much better sole, which doesn't slip as much as in the first generation.
