ZigTech - The Energy Drink for your Feet What is ZigTech? ZigTech is a unique, dramatic, geometric, zig-zag shaped outsole engineered with a special lightweight foam. Everything about Reebok’s ZigTech footwear is designed to conserve energy and return it to the athlete. How do ZigTech shoes work? ZigTech cushions and absorbs the impact of the heel strike and sends a wave of energy along the length of the shoe, propelling the athlete forward with each step. With most athletic footwear, energy return is focused on the vertical impact of the heel strike. With ZigTech, energy is transferred horizontally along the zigs, so more of it is returned to the forefoot.

The Result: With more efficient shoes, your muscles don’t have to work as hard. ZigTech's combination of energy return and cushioning reduces wear and tear on key leg muscles by up to 20 percent.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT durable! Reebok told me to send them back to them for exchange..., May 18, 2010

This review is from: Reebok Men's Zig Pulse Running Shoe (Apparel)

I purchased these shoes for my son, for $99.99, less than 2 months ago. He wears them to school (not for sports, etc). He loves the comfort of them, BUT within 6 weeks the mesh on the inside of the foot has split in exactly the same place on both shoes. It is about a dime size hole on each shoe. I talked to Reebok and they told me this is covered under their "Manufacturer's defect" return policy. You can send them back to Reebok (even if purchased elsewhere) and they will exchange them for the same shoes, or a different style pair of shoes. The phone number to call is 800-843-4444. I will be sending my son's shoes back in for different shoes, as the customer service rep could not tell me if this issue has been fixed on the Zigs. It's not worth taking another chance on $100 shoes that lasted less than 2 months. I would not recommend buying these until Reebok fixes this issue. If they fix this problem, then I would give these shoes 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Feels great but not durable, March 24, 2010

By 

Daegur (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reebok Men's Zig Pulse Running Shoe (Apparel)

I would give this shoe 5 stars if not for its not-very-durable mesh cover.

I paid over $100 (including tax at a sporting goods store) for this shoe and it did not even last an hour of use before I noticed a hole in my left shoe's cover.

So, I'd give it 5 stars for comfort level and 1 for its (lack of) durability.

2.0 out of 5 stars More "Flash" Than Function..., April 25, 2010

I must say that the Silver/Neon Orange combination is catchy to the eye, looks as if it was built for speed/cushion and even felt great in the store. Even so, quite simply put, these shoes are more apt to be suitable for cross-training and lighter use than running longer distances. The mesh covering, though very breathable is just flimsy. After five (5) weekends of regular running use, my feet were protesting in a major way.

On a rainy Sunday morning run this morning, I fetched my old Nike Air Max Plus from the closet (with about 400 miles on them) and there was just no comparison, even with the wear on them. The cushion, platform and overall feel of the Nikes is just totally superior....and my knees/feet thanked me for wearing them.

As with the others' comments, I feel that 100 plus dollars is excessive for limited use. There is definitely some need for major improvement to make it competitive in that price range as a running shoe.
