Anyone run in these?? Looking specifically at the Ultra 7.0. Just curious because there isn't a local store that sells these. Thanks all

Everyone in my family who does triathlon races in Ultra TT4.0.  I don't even know if they still make that model, but I bought each of us 3 pair when I found a smoking deal on them so we'll be racing in them for a while.  Not a single complaint.  Light and fast, easy to get on, durable.

I trained in Ultra Kalani 2.0 for two pairs worth of training.  They did not hold up well.  The stitching in the toe box came apart on each pair much quicker than the tread wore out.

I've run exclusively in Zoots for 5 years, and I love them! They are like wearing slippers. I currently have TT 6.0, they are my favorite so far. I have not had a problem with them falling apart. I have run them all between 400-600 miles. I don't like running in socks, and Zoot is great for that. You may need to use body glide on the hot spots the first few runs. They fit to size, if you wear a thicker sock, then size up. I used a very thin sock for the 2 marathons I have run in them. My longest distance without socks was 15 miles.

I also have Zoots. The TT 5.0 and 6.0. Love'em. Great fitting shoe with a wide toebox and also light. I also don't wear socks so they are very comfortable for me on shorter distances. For longer distances I do wear socks just in case to prevent blisters. I'll probably be adding the TT 7.0 very soon.

I have a pair of the Ovwa 2.0 that I use for speed days / short distances / 5Ks. They are pretty stiff and don't provide much cushion but I like generally don't have any complaints about them. Have held up well.

Zoot Ultra Tempo 5.0 kinda light but awesome for sprints or anything under 8 miles. Deal at under $40. Love em.

Zoot Men's TT Trainer Triathlon $35 on sale. Not the prettiest and not the best but I've done a HIM and 20 plus miles run and it's a really reliable strong shoe. Love em.

Zoot Men's Ultra Kane Running Shoes $44 down from $150 MSRP almost always from Sunandski.com.

I just did IMTX in these and after being a huge brooks fan and running Adrenaline 9 for several Marathons and Ultras.....these latest Zoots are just as comfortable and I love them. Plus the deals on Zoots from this website are the best I ever come across.

They slip on, don't move around even without a snug lace system like traditional shoes, and it just can be beat when sliding these on with or without sock during transition.

Ultra TT 7.0s for daily training and longer racing. Kiawe for speed work and racing. Really enjoy their responsiveness and nothing runs barefoot like Zoot. As mentioned, the TTs have a bit more volume in the forefoot and all Zoot sizing tends to run small so go a half to a full size up. Zoot also just officially made their newest run dedicated shoe, the Solana, available for pre-order. You have no idea how geeked I am about this shoe! http://zootsports.com/landing/solana

So, since my beloved go-to shoe brand has changed its shoe, after reading the bruhaha about the minimalist shoe, I decided to give it a try. Now I have a foot issue with my arch area.
