Zoot Men's Solana Running Shoe

I found this brand at their booth at a 4k run a few years ago. For me, they are the most comfortable shoes I own. I had an extra pair I had forgotten about and they were kept in the box I purchased for years before I remembered I had them. Because they were kept in the box for so long, they wore out quickly so I had to buy a new pair. I was very happy to find the exact shoe here. Thank you.

Zoot makes the best sneakers - not easy to find - but worth it….

This is my fourth pair. Good running shoe for the price. Very comfortable with good heel support. Not very durable though.

I bought these at the end of February 2020. In early September, I noticed the glue had failed on the tread and it had simply fallen off on both shoes. The shoes have less than 100 miles on them (I get about 400-500 miles on a pair of running shoes). Long time runner that has bought TONS of shoes (Nike, Brooks, Saucony, and specifically like 8 pairs just from Zoot alone - so I have experience at how long a quality shoe should last).Zoot claims to have a 2 year warranty - but you have to file your claim with the retailer.Shoebacca won't honor the Zoot warranty (they only have a 60 day return policy). They offered me a 10% discount off my next purchase - should have been 75% off since these shoes are now trash.Both are pointing to the other as it's their problem. Meanwhile - I'm the one stuck with Zoot's defective product sold by ShoeBacca. Way to go.....Not going to be buying from either one of these in the future.

I spend usually 3x as much on running shoes. I decided to try a pair of Zoot Solana 2 after reading good reviews here. I'm glad I did. I replace my running shoes every 400 miles and will get another pair of Zoots.

right fit

Third pair purchased. Last two pairs were run in as part of a three shoe rotation. Comfortable ride. Good cushioning. Well worth the price.UPDATE: After 74 miles I find that the soles have separated from the "body" of the shoe. The same issue did occur with the previous pair/s but it was at the end of their lifespan. I am sorely disappointed that such a good shoe would self-destruct so soon.

I just ran over 10 miles on my first day with them and they felt spectacular. I had ASICS GT 2000 before and the first 30 miles I felt numbness and this didn't happen with the Solana. They feel light and soft, so if you are looking for something tough look elsewhere. I have 4 more hours of running this week so I will comment on Sunday.UPDATE: This week I ran almost 34 miles and the Solana's felt great. My last 1 hour 15 minutes run I ran without socks and the shoes felt great, you don't need socks to wear this shoes, that is a great feature. They're triathlon ready! I also never felt numbness, which happened to me with the ASICS GT 2000 during the first couple weeks. I recommend the Solana's.
