Zamberlan Circe GTX WNS tested by The Pill

Maximum comfort and flexibility for women’s feet

From the Epic Women line, a shoe that pays special attention to women’s needs. The contoured collar, forefoot volume, accentuated arch of the foot, large area reserved for the Achilles tendon, and excellent ankle wrap are the specific accouterments dedicated and designed for women. From the very first use, they prove to be extremely comfortable and lightweight. High-cut but not excessive, they return the feeling of having underfoot a perfect mix between a hiking and a trail running shoe: versatility, softness, flexibility, but with the right support and protection. The wide forefoot frees the front from constriction, the ankle, held firmly by the strut, and the heel, well locked in the rear, provide firmness and precision. Circe promises a sustainable solution without sacrificing premium aesthetics, thanks to the latest skin-free microfiber upper processed to a “suede” effect. It has strong water repellency which, combined with an Extended Comfort lining, provides superior waterproof protection. The Vibram sole, oversized in the heel for added stability, works in synergy with the EVA midsole, a deep wedge designed to better absorb impact. Another component not to be underestimated is the PE insole, which increases impact absorption by presenting reinforced padding over the entire surface. Circe convinces by its versatility. Ideal for hikers who grind out large elevation gains even with significant loads, as well as for fast-paced outings on medium terrain.
