Zennor 2

Prefer The Original

I have been a fan of the Zennor since day one. I purchased the Zennor 2 for a trip overseas in September. As I break them in, I find they are a tad smaller (I ordered the same size in one as the other). I have terrible bunions, and these are not as accommodating. I also find that the interior is not as smooth and cozy as the original, and have had to break them in more. I may not take these with me, even though the soles are sturdier, as I will be doing a lot of walking. If I could buy a pair of originals for my trip, I would, but my size is now sold out. I will wear these, but not love them as much as my old ones. And although I love them, I still find my feet get hot and sweaty in them. But that may just be genetics again.

First time for barefoot shoes

They’re easy to put on and comfortable. I’ve been breaking them in more slowly after I wore them a little too long the first time and got a blister on the back of my heel/ankle. Overall they seem like keepers and a good value.

Great Barefoot Shoe for Outdoor Activities

I bought these shoes to be my "doesn't matter if they get dirty" shoes. I'm planning to use them hiking, beaching, and have already used them in the garden. I’m normally a size 8.5 US women's shoe. I bought the size 40. I think that was the right decision based on how my foot sits inside the shoe; my toes would hit the front of the shoe if I sized down. However, they seem to be high volume shoes, since I really have to manipulate the tightening structure to ensure they stay on my feet, and even then it's not a "barely notice im wearing shoes" type of fit. Adjusting the back strap doesn’t make much of a difference for me. My concern is that if I wear them in the water, the weight of the waterlogged shoe will be too heavy and will try to pull off of the foot. I love how the sole is supportive and I can still feel the ground through them. The stretchy upper is comfortable. I’ve worn with and without socks. They seem like they'll be very sturdy. I'm very pleased with this purchase and recommend this shoe.
