PETRI'S PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Zing is a good-looking barefoot sneaker that complements our sneaker selection in relation to the Champ 3.0. Zing is clearly thicker on the base and more of a standard sneaker than Champ. On the other hand, the difference with Wave is mainly in the upper material and the fact that Wave is a very traditional angular sneaker in terms of the shape of the sole, while Zing is a little more rounded. It's a matter of taste which one you like more.
On the scale of pure barefoot shoe - hybrid model - minimalist shoe (l. thick-soled barefoot shoe), I count the Zing as "hybrid" when used with its own insole. More barefoot feel when you remove the insole.
Suitability for barefoot shoe beginners:
If you can slowly increase the amount of daily use (your steps), then you can take Zings as first barefoot shoes. If you immediately want to go on longer runs without extra hassle, it is safest to get thick-soled barefoot shoes (minimalist shoes) in the beginning - remember that patience is the key! Test different models and ask advice from the barefoot shoe experts!
Suitability for experienced barefooters: Vegan Zings are easy going even on slightly longer walks. Clearly more of the feel of a standard sneaker in terms of the thickness and structure of the sole than e.g. in Champ - but it's not a bad thing if you can still find toe spaces and zero drops, is it? Long shopping trips on hard platforms are not quite as much of training as with more pure barefoot shoes. Take it easy for a while!
MANUFACTURER'S PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Materials used:
Sustainable and vegan materials with perfect colour stability, breathability and tear resistance were used in the production.
- The outer part of the shoe is made from microfibre and polyester. They are also produced using processes that minimize the impact on the environment.
- The lining of the shoe is made from Dermodry Coolmax® technical fabric, which enables constant moisture drainage. This type of lining speeds up the process of moisture–drainage and sweat absorption, thanks to which the skin of the foot remains dry. Dermodry Coolmax® is a soft, light and breathable material that is used in prestigious footwear models and undergoes the most demanding tests of technical quality performed in independent laboratories.
- The sole is made from soft synthetic rubber with high wear-and-tear resistance. The ComfortGrip sole designed for comfortable movement and exploring new places not only in the urban jungle.
- The insole consists of a cork layer, that allows excellent sweat drainage, and breathable polyurethane foam, thanks to which you will feel perfectly comfortable throughout the day.
Barefoot properties:
- Anatomic shape – The sneaker respects the shape of the feet. It creates roomy space for toes during movement, it prevents toes from being pressed or developing calluses.
- Material flexibility – The flexible sole enables necessary movement. The feet are not restricted and strengthen naturally.
- Zero-drop – The heel and front of the shoe are levelled. Thanks to this, the body posture and overall correction of the centre of gravity are improved
- Adaptive sole – 4 mm thick (without protrusions) stimulates nerve endings. It strengthens balance, and awareness of terrain and it protects the feet
- Lightweight – The Barberics sneakers are lightweight and with no arch, which prevents leg fatigue and supports the correct walking stereotype.
Syksyn keleihin
Ostin nahkaiset Zingit syksyn märkiin keleihin kauppiaan suosituksesta. Hieman kuitenkin arvelutti paksumpi pohja, mihin olin tottunut. Käytön jälkeen ei enää arveluttanut. Nämä ovat mukavat, hyvän näköiset ja näissä on tuttu paljasjalkakengän tuntuma maahan, lisättynä mukavalla kylmän maan eristyksellä.
