Over All Opinion

By Ranked #366 - Men's Backpacking Boots December 22, 2008

I am a runner, and I am on my fourth pair of North Face running shoes that use the BOA lacing system. I have never had any problems out of any of them, and I was looking for a BOA system boot. That is what brought me to the Zephyr. I just received my pair in the mail, and here is what I think so far. I wear a 11.5 US in the men's Arnuva 50 shoe, and my Zephyr are size 11. With regular socks, they feel half a size too big. There is no Winter where I live, so I do not own any thick socks. So I think a 10.5 would be the best fit for me. I would also like to point out that there should be independent lacing systems for the ankle support, and the foot support. As your feet swell from running or hiking, it would be nice to adjust one without adjusting the other. But these are comfortable, and I plan on putting them to the test over the next three months, so we will see!
