Has anyone trained/raced in Zoot running shoes and their orthodics? Is there an actual insole like in regular running shoes to remove or do you just put the orthodic in the shoe? Does putting an orthodic in the Zoot shoe completely defeat the water draininage feature?
I have extremely high arches and use orthotics with my ZOOT Ultra TTs. The orthotics make the shoe a touch heavier, but the shoes are so light already that I don’t notice much difference. Last season I raced in the Ultra Race shoe with the standard insole for Olympic distance and shorter but this year will probably run a lightweight orthotic in those too. Like Jim said, the orthotics had no impact on the shoes ability to ‘dry’ nor on the flexibility, fit, etc other than in my arch. The insoles that come with the shoe are removable but have a few sticky spots to help keep them in place.
