## Description

The holy grail of trail running is to provide both stability and flexibility, but to make a midsole stable yet soft. The development of the Zeal has taken more than three years and after numerous tests and prototypes it&apos;s ready for launch. The upper material has been updated to a very durable, yet soft, Kevlar. Together with the lacing system, it embraces the foot firmly, but it is the midsole construction and the HGMS2 technology that is the true innovation. Zeal provides a stable but soft heel grip, which is an impossible combo made possible through the molded midsole cradle on the interior side of the shoe. The midsole not only adds superb fit, it also turns into the reinforcement protecting the foot in serious terrain. The height of the heel cup is slightly reduced at the center back, in order to reduce the pressure at the Achilles tendon. The medium last is half lined with quick dry mesh. The torsion and cushioning is in fine balance and together with the low sole profile, the ground control is just outstanding. The outsole cleats are positioned so mud doesn&apos;t get stuck, and as if the deep lug pattern wouldn&apos;t provide enough, the RB9X outsole is the benchmark among sticky rubbers.

    Great shoes; I'm an IceBug Convert
  

*by D***4 on Reviewed in the United States on 26 June 2016*

Update:  just ran a Spartan Super (10 miler) on these. The course was soaked and I flew. The traction was so great I had people asking me if I had metal spikes.  Shows held up amazing. One con is that the drainage was not as great as I'm used to. I've read articles on drilling drainage holes in these, and will try that before next weekend's race.Ran my fastest Spartan Sprint in these!  Great shoes. Totally agree with other reviews in that once I soaked them at mile 1 in a stream, and ran another 3 in them "wet," they totally formed to my feet...  I don't think I'd go over 15 miles on rough trails in these due to their minimalist design, but I'm definitely converting all my trails shoes to IceBug.

    Really good... but not great.
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on 17 June 2016*

Great traction, average drainage, light weight, poor cushioning (almost to be expected with this type of shoe), large toe box. I had to return my 1st pair because they were a half size too big.An overall great shoe but I like my Inov8 X-Talon 212's better.

    Best Trail Shoe
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on 6 June 2016*

Best Trail Running Shoes I have worn to date.  I have INOV-8, Born2Run, Reebok All Terrain the Icebug Zeal2's are the most comfortable and offer the best traction of all the shoes I have tried.  They are extremely lightweight and do not absorb water however they do not drain as well as Reebok AT but the traction is far superior.
