But it's not just the slip resistance that will convince you, the upper and inner material are also of the best quality and guarantee you the highest wearing comfort, regardless of the weather. On the outside you are perfectly protected with the robust smooth and suede leather and on the inside our ZAQQ membrane nestles wonderfully softly against your feet. It ensures that no water can penetrate while at the same time providing high breathability.

Very comfortable and great winter shoes

Can't say much about waterproofness and quality as I still have them very new, but the shoes seem to be of very high quality.
They are very comfortable.
Fit well true to size. I mainly wear them as winter shoes and can wear them without an extra pair of socks or with an extra pair of socks. They're already nice and warm as it is. Also wear them in everyday life because they don't look as bad as hiking boots. Can recommend it :)

Great hiking shoe

I have the explorer as my second shoe ZAQQ Bought for longer dog walks and short hikes. I am completely satisfied, it is very comfortable, soft, does not press or rub

Suitable for high mountains

The shoe is very sure-footed and offers very good grip even on damp surfaces. During a week of hiking in the Berchtesgaden Alps, it was absolutely reliable in both heat and rain. And it offers a great barefoot feeling.

Best outdoor shoe I've ever worn

I've been using this boot for hiking and camping in the forest and meadows for over a year now and I'm always happy to have it. Totally sure-footed and super comfortable. I would buy again at any time. I'm very curious to see how long they last. So far they look almost like new.

No break-in necessary. I wore the shoes for an hour and nothing rubbed or pressed. Soft, cushioned sole. Top!

Nice but not my fit

My foot is very wide at the front, but the heel is narrow. Unfortunately that didn't fit. I didn't have any real support in the heel area. Otherwise a nice and solid hiking shoe.

Clean comfortable

Warm and dry feet in snow and low temperatures.
If you keep moving, the thin sole is no problem in cold weather. I've been walking really well in these shoes from day one.

Expectations completely met!

Since I originally always thought I had wide feet and needed to order a size larger for normal shoes, the size chart helped me here.
That's exactly right, it's worth measuring your own foot again.
Great delivery and the quality of the shoe is exactly as described and read in the other reviews. Top I'll be back ZAQQ order.

Super comfortable shoes

Dress and feel good! Even when roaming through wet meadows, my feet stayed dry. The shoes are so comfortable that I hardly want to wear others anymore.

Zaqq simply makes the most comfortable shoes. The boots fit your feet wonderfully, are flexible and have a good grip. My new favorite shoes for walks and hikes in the colder half of the year. Hope the soft leather is sturdy enough too. Perfect so far...

For demanding terrain…

...it is by far the best shoe I have ever had. It fits like a second skin and provides stability even on long tours without constricting. And the grip in winter is really outstanding. I wear all of mine
Zaqq really likes it, but overall I've never had a better shoe than this one - especially because of the sole.

Perfect! 12 out of 10

My first barefoot shoes after I had already tried out several brands and models and had almost given up looking. They are so incredibly comfortable, unbeatable value for money and perfect for long walks with my dog ​​through nature. I immediately ordered another pair for slightly warmer days and have already set my sights on the next ones ^^. I'm more absolute ZAQQ-became a fan. Thank you for such great shoes! Please more models in size. 36 and if general demand cooperates, a trail sandal would be a dream. You are great! Keep it up.

The ideal hiking shoe

We have now been hiking in South Tyrol for 10 days. The shoe exceeded my expectations. I had optimal grip even on steep, rocky passages over lots of scree. And still feels light because the shoe weighs very little compared to my old hiking boots.

Very satisfied

The hiking barefoot shoes meet all my expectations. Clear recommendation.

Fantastic boots!

These boots were definitely worth the price and the wait! They’re the most comfortable zero-drop footwear I’ve ever worn!
I love that they go above the ankle, unlike some boots, as I'm prone to rolling my ankles, so this helps.
Thank you!!

Great shoes!

They look good, you walk well in them. Perfect, thank you!

Completely satisfied (Explorer Waterproof)

Great material and great workmanship. Finally enough freedom of movement and warm feet. Maybe not suitable for the deepest mud, but definitely suitable for hiking. When it comes to lacing, you need a little practice until everything fits, but then the shoe fits.

I like walking in these shoes

Comfortable shoes that are easy to put on and take off. The strong profile sole cleans itself because it is so flexible.

Great shoe

I am very very satisfied. I now wore the boots in cold, rain and snow as a pedestrian and cyclist. Really very pleasant. At the beginning I was shocked that the tongue is very wide and that it folds and compresses a lot when lacing and thought that might be annoying, but it doesn't. Finally a barefoot shoe with more tread, which not only helps to have good grip but also to withstand the cold. Top!

Exceeded expectations, very good running feeling, good stability, very good workmanship.
My first and not last shoe!
