Zoot Men's Del Mar Running Shoe

I love Zoot Kalani Ultra, but switched to these since I cannot find Ultra in US size 12 any more. I hope Zoot keeps making these Del Mar shoes because they are just as good as Kalani Ultras - with different color choices. Snug, good airflow, moderate heel to toe incline, good cushioning, light weight, stable but not brick solid heel shape, and a good price when on sale. I prefer Del Mar and Asics Nimbus shoes for my neutral heel strike pattern. I wish Del Mar had the lace keeper of Ultras.Most of my experience is half marathons, which I have also worn Asics and New Balance to run (New Balance tore up, Asics Kayano left me with persistent minor injuries). Kalani Ultra felt great running a marathon, though, and I expect these to feel just as good. I have roughly 6 weeks running in them now. Honestly, I don't plan to train in anything other than Zoot or Asics anymore. Del Mars have a much better price point than Asics, though the long term life is shorter.Zoot - please don't discontinue Del Mar without giving us neutral recreational runners something to replace them with!!

I don't run anymore......I power walk. I like to wear running shoes for their support. I always buy top end shoes ($120+). I saw that these shoes had a high core score on the RunRepeat website...they were nice looking...and they were on sale dirt cheap. I could not go wrong for the price so I bought a pair. What a pleasant surprise....these are as good a running shoe as I have ever bought. They fit perfectly, look excellent, offer tremendous cushioning and support. I could not be happier.

I don't find this shoe very comfortable. It's not uncomfortable, but other shoes actually feel good to wear. I would never buy these full price, but if on sale I'd buy them again. I ran 450 miles in them before retiring them.

Great shoe. The heel is a bit chunky, and it has great support/slightly rigid mid-sole with flex, which is helpful for larger runners. It has enough cushion in the front to support a front/mid foot strike. I am 5'9" and 235 lbs. An average workout for me is 3-5 miles at 12 minutes/mile 2-3 times per week. I use this as an outdoor pavement running/jogging shoe. It has reflective elements for added visibility at night. I would buy this again.

I’ve been wearing Zoot sneakers for years. They’re hard to find BUT always worth the effort. Very comfortable; great arch support.

The media could not be loaded. These shoes might be old stock because they're peeling apart from the toes back right out of the box. I took a video to show they are brand new with the factory tied laces and absolutely zero wear on the toes or tread. These are my 1st and last pair of Zoot shoes.

Stumbled on these shoes from a review site and had never encountered the brand before but am on the bandwagon. For is just right and my feet are a little wife. I am dealing with plantar fasciitis and my podiatrist gives these a green light for how they are made. Love them and have had no issues running outside or on the treadmill.

I used the shoes for long distance running and I like the fact that they very comfortable. On the down side they wear faster than average.
