I love all of my zoot clothing. I have several pairs of running shorts, and a tri top and tri shorts. They've all served me well. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the shoes.
I love the triathlon specific features the built in elastic laces and loop on the heel and tongue (which is also fixed to prevent accidental bunching) which make the shoes lightning quick to put on in T2. The shoes are also supposedly designed to be worn sockless, but I found no difference between these and normal running shoes when it came to running without socks. In both cases I start to develop blisters after about three miles.
Unfortunately, my feet just don't agree with this shoe. Even wearing socks I was prone to blistering on my toes and arches. The last straw was when one of my toes became very sore and turned completely black during an interval workout. Luckily it hasn't fallen off yet, but I am fairly sure it will eventually. I only run between 20-25 miles a week. Not nearly enough to start losing toenails with a decent pair of shoes.
