The only real question I have is how durable these shoes will be in the long run. I've seen several reviews here at Amazon claiming they tear up quickly and don't last long for the fairly big price tag. I'm hoping that isn't the case though, because I don't use these shoes for running or walk long distances at a time. Basically, I use the shoes practically for every day walking and not specifically for training to run a marathon or to be an Olympic runner or any such sport activity. So, I'm expecting to wear the Zigtech for a long time before I have to replace them, although only time will tell whether or not durability can be used to describe these shoes.
Other than that though, I'd highly recommend these shoes to anyone looking for light, comfortable and stylish shoes. I don't give many shoes a 5 out of 5 star rating, but these lived up to my expectations and then some. I'd buy these again as well, assuming the first pair lasts for a decent amount of time.

The shoe is comfortable but needs some getting used to if you have never worn them before. The shoe runs narrow but it has some give so you don't feel super tight. The size runs perfect and they are very stylish. Good for running if you play basketball you may roll your ankle because they are cut so lowBest Deals on Reebok Men's ZigActivate Running Shoe
I bought a pair of these shoes a year ago to replace my older pair of Reebok Sonics. It took some time for my feet to adjust to them. Actually, during the first weekend the pair were worn, I accidentally fell asleep with them on and got foot cramps and bruising, yet after only about two weeks, the inside lining shifted and expanded into a comfortable fit. Now these shoes feel wonderful and really do cushion my feet on daily runs of 8 miles.These shoes are very similar to the Reebok Zig Sonics, but are not as durable. Differences between the Reebok Activate and the Reebok Zig Sonic include:
-The Activate got rid of the breathable mesh on the sides of each shoe and sewed on shiny leather liners. My feet eventually ripped through the mesh sides of the Reebok Zig Sonics after about a year of running, this shoe, because of the liners, take less time for the feet to rip out the sides.
-Better shoe laces. The shoe lace material for this pair prevent untying, essential for keeping a runners pace and momentum during long runs. I hated the laces of the Reebok Sonics, for even after great efforts to secure and tie the laces, they would untie in the middle of a long run, causing bothersome stops to tie my shoelaces.
-The design of the shoes is very cool. They look like moon boots with their ribbed cloth design.
All in all a great pair of shoes for running, but durability is lacking, and the sides rip bigger than the Zig Sonic
Honest reviews on Reebok Men's ZigActivate Running Shoe
I picked these up since I just started running. It's been way easier to run longer distances ( > 3 miles is long to me ) with this shoe. I also took them on a trip to DisneyWorld and had 4 days of walking 10+ hours in the park without them I would have been a goner!One thing I noticed is that they come with the shoes laced *very* tight. If your feet feel smooshed even a little bit, you may want to consider loosening the laces a bit that helped me a lot.
I've had these a month now and they're holding together really well, don't get unlaced from running/walking, and make running even more fun!
