A desert dweller's dream come true. They are light and don't have Gore-tex lining. In the desert heat, Gore-tex lined boots make your feet sweat like a pig. As an added bonus, the upper lacing doesn't have speed hooks. As an air sports participant, HG pilot, hooks are bogus and can snarl a parachute. I first ordered a pair in my normal size and they were too small. I exchanged them for a 1/2 size larger. I have narrow/medium feet and these fit great.

Excellent boot. Wore them out of the box for a 25 mile rim to rim hike in the Grand Canyon. Couple of minor blisters (to be expected for a new shoe). Very light and very comfortable.

I followed the advice of earlier reviewers and ordered a size larger (normally 11, ordered 12). It fit well. I wear a medium weight sock and it fit comfortably in both length and D width. Given the type of boot (semi-rigid, molded foot) and the batch at hand, the advice was sound. A very high quality boot. Perhaps one of the most comfortable I have owned in this class. Tread not too aggressive. Very tasteful, muted colors prevent you from looking like a carnival on the move. No regrets.

Just to qualify my statements; I have spent the last 20+ years in the military (infantry based), law enforcement and private security (currently in Afghanistan). That being said, I have also hiked the Rockies (both the Canadian and US), Appalachians and mountains in Asia. I have owned Lowas, Meindls, Asolos, Salomons, Keens, Merrills, and several other boot and shoe makes. Pros: extremely light weight, stiff ankle support for such a light weighted boot; nice non-marking sole with good traction; nice bump-kick toe lip,fully gusseted tongue; good looks Cons: foot bed is a bit stiff/flat and feels abit like wearing flat dress shoes with leather soles. the eyelets and lace material don't afford easy lacing or tightening/cinching of the boot. Comments: the boot is exactly 1/2 size smaller in size than what the tag reads. Size 10 US in these boots fit exactly like a 9.5 US in Salomon, Merrill, Keen, New Balance etc... I will most likely replace the insole with a more supportive one as I can tell from my short time wearing these that any walks over 1-2 kms would begin to become a bit uncomfortable (especially wearing any amount of kit). For standing about for short periods or for short jaunts they are adequate. I love Lowas, but sense they spent a bit more on the outside of this boot than they did the inside and the result somewhat impairs the feel of the fit. For how much they look and feel in hand like a pair of high-top sneakers, they are surprisingly lacking the corresponding comfort. I still love the boot and will work on making it more comfortable -hopefully replacement soles will do just that.

Very cool boot. Fits snugly and comfortably. Whatever size you wear in a dress shoe, order a full size up these boots. They run a half size larger than Ecco shoes.

I had to order one size larger then what I normally wear to get a proper fit. Putting these boots on is like slipping your feet into a pair of soft high top sneakers. They are lightweight, comfortable. Now to put them through their paces and see how they last.

These boots are extremely comfortable and breath very well. There is no break in time required as they feel great right out of the box. However as good as these boots feel I have had problems with the soles delaminating from the midsole. I do not know if it was just this pair but its too bad since they are so comfortable and handle rocky terrain so well.

I am currently in military service in Afghanistan. These are too expensive for me to purchase, but I am deeply in love with them.

In one word...ugly! They run way small and would only look good on somebody walking in a desert. Buy at least a full size larger.

This boot seems to be the real deal! Been looking for a good pair of summer/warm weather boots and in the past options were either too big and heavy or too flimsy. The zephyr is the best I've seen so far and I've wasted a lot of cash on numerous pairs of inadequate boots took the zephyrs to St. Martin and hiked everything from jeep trails, to volcanic boulders, beaches, sketchy skree fields and the boots rocked! Great ankle support, terrific grip, lightweight and my feet never felt hot in the arid, 85 degree weather. The only improvement I could think of would be a bit more of a stiffer sole (Plate) and would be willing to sacrifice the weight...other than that I am extremely pleased with this pair of boots...so far.
