ZAMBERLAN 335 CIRCE LOW GTX HIKING SHOE

NOTHING SAYS SUMMER QUITE LIKE A PICTURESQUE HIKE WITH FRIENDS TO ENJOY THE SUN, THE VIEW, AND THE COMPANY. HOWEVER, I’M SURE I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO’S BEEN CAUGHT OUT NOT WEARING THE RIGHT SHOES AND THEN SPENT THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH SORE FEET. WITH ZAMBERLAN THIS NEVER HAS TO BE THE CASE AGAIN, AS THEIR NEW CIRCE LOW GTX SHOES ARE DESIGNED TO BRING YOU LASTING COMFORT AND SUPPORT, WHILST LOOKING STYLISH IN THE PROCESS.

The shoes are named after the Greek goddess Circe, which is fitting as the comfortable design of these shoes is some kind of sorcery! The Circe Low GTX shoes provide careful cushioning, support, and stability to ensure that the shoes are functionalwhether that be for a long treacherous hike or a leisurely walk. The all-female team behind the design have focused on making the shoes with the female foot in mind and are designed for versatility by providing support and protection for a range of activities. I was impressed by the aesthetic design, as often hiking shoes can look a bit dull with comfort and durability being the only selling points. However, the Circe Low GTX shoes I got to try are a beautiful wine colour with a lovely suede effect design, and I loved wearing them to add a pop of colour to my usual walking gear.

As we expect from a trusted brand like Zamberlan, the shoes are fitted with some high-quality design features such as the protective PU inserts, Eva Wedge midsole, Vibram® Junko MEGAGRIP® outsole and Gore-Tex’s waterproof lining. The widened sole was great as it provided a greater surface area for a secure grip across a range of terrains. Furthermore, if you happen to get the shoes muddy, they are easy to clean with the care instructions written clearly on the inside of the box. Available in a variety of colours, and in a mid-ankle design, the shoes are designed to be comfortable and durable across a variety of activities. I loved wearing these on a walk with some friends and got loads of compliments on them. If you are looking for some new hiking shoes that are designed to look and feel great, then these are a great choice for you!
