About a year back, I remember running in the first Zoot Solana, which also happens to be the first Zoot shoe I have ever tried. I was training for a triathlon and experimenting with a lot of different shoe combinations, but even in the original review we did you'll see that we found something very compelling from a company not always known for running shoes. The new version is out and we were curious, so we put it through its paces again.
