Men's Zoot Ultra Kane

Comments about Mens Zoot Ultra Kane Running Shoe:

Right out of the box I ran 10 miles the shoe felt great. Nice cushioning with a bouncy feel the seamless sock liner was comfortable and the new lacing system held my foot in place without much movement. The shoe is perfect for both triathlon or any road racing I'll be using them for all my 1/2 IRONMAN races...Thank you Zoot your best shoe yet.

Note to Zoot...Make it in more colors I'd like to buy another pair.

I have to say that I like them a lot for running, although they are not comfortable for me to just wear around, feel awkward under my feet when walking. But when I run they are great. Very light for a motion-control shoe. Haven't tried running without socks but as it starts to get warmer I am sure that I will.

Today was the first day with these on my feet (six mile run after a 20 minute fast paced bike ride)... I was impressed right from the start and being that I'm a heavier runner, the cushion and support felt great. It was also great going without socks, however, I ended up with blisters on one foot (bottom instep) and started feeling the rub around the 4 mile mark which I'm sure I can prevent next time and after I've run in them for a bit. For sprint triathlons, I'm certain going sockless will not cause this issue. For longer races using an anti-chafe on the inserts should do the trick. So far, these are the best shoes right out of the box I've ever put on my feet to run in. Very pleased and Zoot has a new big fan.

These shoes felt great right out of the box. I tested them out on a 13 mile training run and they performed better than I'd hoped. The Barefit is great and after a few weeks of running in them they don't smell lie you might think they would.

I selected these shoes because they are lower weight. My previous shoe was a Stability + Asics Gel Kayano 15 and was looking for a show that was lighter.

I am training for half marathon and Triathalons.

These are very plush riding, well cushioned shoes. I can feel the reduced weight and really like it. The upper is a tight fitting web materials, these shoes are alomost like slip ons, bearly need to use the laces. They fit snug, I can run with or without socks and have no issues or blisters. They are so snug I went up one size to get them to fit properly, so you may have to experiment with them. I will use them for Half marathon wiht socks and have run a 10K Tri without socks. Highly recomend this versitale and light weight Stability + shoe.

Training for Army Ten Miler. Ran 13.5 miles first time out in these shoes. Roomy toe area, yet nice snug fit (I have narrow feet). I am 6'1", 171 lbs. Had knee surgery 4 months ago for torn meniscus. So, was pleasantly surprised that such a light shoe could give the needed support and comfort.

Awesome shoe! Works great without socks as well! Very comfortable and well cushioned.

Very comfortable shoe when worn sockless. I wear Saucony Hurricanes and Asics Gel-Kayano, and I made the mistake of trying the Asics sockless for a triathlon, so decided to find a shoe that is designed to be worn that way. The Zoots are very comfortable worn without socks, fit very well and have good cushioning. I am very pleased with them and highly recommend them.

These are good for larger runners (I am 6' 1" 235 lbs) who do a lot of miles (I am training for the Portland Marathon). I have never run in Zoots before, and I have to say these are VERY comfortable and feel like the lightest running shoes I have ever owned. The cushioning is great and they are stable. I have put almost 60 miles on them in two weeks and I am very happy with them so far. The tread seems to be holding up well - better than the Saucony's I normally run in - after a couple of weeks. If you are a bigger runner looking for a pair of shoes for endurance training, you should consider these. I would give them five stars but I haven't had them long enough to grade their durability.

200 Lb Triathlete with stability and cushion needs. This is by far the best mix of stability, cushion and light-weight endurance in running shoe that I have ever experienced. I come from years of Mizuno Alchemy use. I am blown away that Zoot has already disco'd. Hoping they replace with similar!
