First impressions. I always pull out the insole to see what's under the hood. The Zephyr's insole is made of springy plastic grid with the usual foam for the forefoot. It's much stiffer than the regular all-foam kind you find in many shoes and gives much better support. It's a notch below specialty bought insoles, but probably one of the best I ever seen included with the shoe itself. Removing the insole also revealed a complete wrap around construction for the e-vent membrane. Many manufacturers skimp on having the bottom of the boot covered with a membrane. But not the Zephyr. This extra padding also adds some cushioning. The boot itself breathes very well thanks to large sections of exposed mesh, but as advertised, the plastic skeleton does great work at providing excellent ankle support. Overall, this boot oozes with quality and attention to details. Tough, supportive and relatively light. So why only 4 stars? Well, Backpackers magazine suggested this is a medium-wide boot. I found this not to be so. The toe box is deep, but otherwise I feel it is strictly medium. If you are a 2E it might not work for you. It didn't for me and I couldn't wear it extensively, but I also feel it is not a boot you can wear out of the box. It is comfortable enough, but it would need at least some minimal break-in period. If these two issues are not relevant to you, then the Zephyr will be a high quality 5 stars boot for you.

 |  | To my Ultimate Friends at Zappos. Hello you beautiful people! My Eric Michael boots just arrived, couldn't be happier, the Little Black Boot quest is always such a happening adventure with you guys. Not only do I love my boots, I love Zappos! This overnight shipping is amazing, having ordered these late late LATE yesterday, how do you do it! Zappos storks? Shot from cannons? Men in Black??? We've written before, lamenting our departure from California to the N'West. Every box from you is like a breath of sunshine from home. My boys and I tell EVERYONE about Zappos, it's just crazy how many people have never heard of you. A delight to spot your ad in a skateboarding magazine. My skater boys wear Keen to the park. Thank you so much for your consistent excellence. If you ever need a Little Black Boot expert, let me know! My boots are dancing! Huge hugs to my favorite people at Zappos from your loyal family of Californian dreamers, Steph and the Boys. |  | ~ Stephanie B., October 23 2009
