At first, I used the Zephyr Grom MID ZX06, but they were too short for tough terrain and rain – they would get wet quickly, and the heel lining wore out. I now chose the Zephyr Grom ZX07 and it was a good decision. This is actually my second purchase—the first pair lasted over 3.5 years of constant use, 12–14 hours a day, in the city, forest, and mountains, as well as on construction sites. I give it 4/5 because a 'block' of the sole came off—in my opinion, the sole has cuts that are too deep, which makes each part of it work separately, though the cushioning is good. Overall, I recommend it to anyone looking for lightweight and comfortable universal footwear.
Zephyr Grom ZX07 Boots - Black
Durable and lightweight tactical footwear in black, crafted for prolonged usage. A waterproof Free-Tex membrane, ASO insoles, and durable Cordura reinforcements are included. This model is perfect for both uniformed services as well as everyday urban or off-road adventures.
natural leather, cordura, aso gel insole
Constructed mainly from natural grain leather, the boots feature Cordura in the ankle section, providing enhanced air circulation while retaining exceptional durability. Their ergonomic design ensures an ideal fit and superior comfort of use. Additionally, the boots come with an ASO gel insole and a cushioning zone in the heel for added support.
Free-Tex membrane, no metal parts
The footwear is fully waterproof and breathable thanks to the use of a vapor-permeable Free-Tex membrane, with properties similar to Gore-Tex. The boot construction is free of metal elements, allowing for easy passage through security gates at airports and other secured facilities.

The deep-treaded oil-resistant sole is characterized by non-slip properties of SRC class, meeting the following standards:
- SRA: slip resistance on ceramic surfaces covered with detergent (sodium lauryl sulfate)

Generally, the shoes are fine, and the laces are good quality, but they rub quite a lot. I have no other complaints, but if someone plans to cover very long distances in them, I would not recommend it.
-
The shoes are comfortable, waterproof, I use them for motorcycle rides and hiking. They breathe well, my feet don’t sweat, but despite care, the pseudo leather began to flake and crack.
-
The shoes are light and waterproof, but those are their only advantages. After walking 8 km, I found them uncomfortable and not breathable. The right shoe has a factory defect that presses on the ankle and causes chafing. After 8 km it was hard to keep going. I do not recommend them – I will have to buy another pair and these will end up in the closet.
-
The shoes do their job, I use them for quad biking so I don't walk much in them, what matters to me more is water resistance and that is sufficient. I took a size smaller than usual and they fit perfectly.
-
The shoes look very sturdy. My son was satisfied after the first fitting, there were no blisters or discomfort, they're comfortable. He had them on for over 8 hours and his feet didn’t sweat – that's also a big advantage.
-
At first glance, the shoes look solid, they are comfortable and the size is right. Their drawback is the plastic lace hooks and the overall impression of mediocre quality workmanship. We'll see how they hold up over time, but for the price, they present themselves well.
-
The shoes are comfortable and waterproof, suitable for colder days like autumn or early spring. In winter, your feet might sweat, which makes them cold, but overall they hold up. The sole got damaged pretty quickly, so I deduct one star, but fixing it with glue was enough and I still use them – water doesn't get in.
-
Very good shoes for this price. 1. Too high for summer, and feet sweat a lot in warmer months. 2. The waterproof membrane works, but after walking in puddles all day, the inside got damp. However, I didn’t feel much water leak inside – the moisture probably passed through the leather over time. 3. You can feel the shoes are cheaply made – my pair developed sole defects, and a hole appeared after one day. The lace hooks are plastic and unevenly attached, which is a nuisance at first.
-
These shoes are clearly made for deep freezes – at -15 degrees your feet don't get cold, and proper care ensures they're waterproof. The only downside is that they have eyelets instead of hooks, so lacing is less convenient.
-
Tested in very tough conditions, they perform great. You can go into water up to the top edge and nothing leaks. The only downside is the need to buy gel insoles for more comfort.
-
Unfortunately, the shoes are poor quality – they leak, are cold, and come apart quickly. The interior was already torn after three months. In winter, it's easy to slip and feet freeze. The glue is weak, and the lack of a side zipper makes them hard to put on. I do not recommend.
-
The shoes are generally nice, solid laces that don't break, but they rub a bit. Other than that, I have no major complaints, however, I don’t recommend them for people who plan to walk a lot in them every day.
-
In my opinion, these shoes are a bullseye—you won't find anything better in this price range. They are best for cloudy, rainy days. After buying, I protected them right away and haven't had wet feet since.
-
The shoes are fine as long as you don't walk more than 15 km – then they start to chafe your heels and ankles a lot, the toes feel squeezed, and every step is painful. If you also hit a stone, you can develop a subungual hematoma. It's better to spend a bit more and buy better shoes.
