Review on Saucony Zealot Black Silver Men's Running Shoes: Lightweight and Athletic by Jack Ngo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great shoes for marathons

I've been wearing Saucony shoes for marathon training and racing for 4 years and they've been my favorites so far! had a Saucony Triumph ISO with a huge amount of padding/cushioning so I was worried my feet would hurt when I switched to these shoes. To my surprise, I was able to quickly get used to this shoe with only a few days of falling (Triumph 8mm -> Zealot 4mm). I've ridden them about 300 miles so far and I think they have room for another 100-200. There are no tears in the material, but the soles wear out where I step. I haven't changed my training, but I've seen a big improvement in my marathon time and mileage because these shoes are LIGHT for the amount of support they offer. My only complaint is that the laces often twist in the top loop, which can cause pain if you pull them too tight, but heck, that's my own user error that I can fix by buying new laces. We're discussing buying another pair until Zealot 2 comes out!

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Hard to say
