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.

 |  | You need a portal just for testimonials! I am an enthusiastic fan of Zappos! I live overseas but I have a home in USA. I shop the latest styles and fashions on Zappos.com in Denmark, ship them to my USA address and pay with my Danish bank card...no hassle. Your “competition” will not allow me to do that and they place the burden of identity verification on me. When I try to place an order from Denmark to ship to my house in USA they cancel my order. When I call in to determine why they do not use a more sophisticated method of credit card verification like “Verify by Visa” they tell me they cannot reinstate the order. I spend about 3K per month in shoes alone and I am more than happy buying them all from Zappos now. I shop Zappos exclusively now for the great customer service, ease of use, selection and confidence in knowing that the purchases I make will be honored in a way that provides service to the customer. I started with buying shoes, I am now looking at all the other wonderful things Zappos offers as a result of the service and value provided through this company! I love Zappos! |  | ~ Johnna C., November 08 2009
