I was browsing through Facebook, a couple of months ago, and came across the Reebok Pump to Fit Contest. All we had to do was see a video and find the hidden code. Easy, right? I thought so too, and also thought that many other people would have already found the code. I nonchalantly filled up the participation form, not really expecting to win. I got a call from a Reebok representative a few days ago that I had won, and true enough, the shoes were delivered to me a fortnight ago.
I have just one word- awesome. The shoes left me awestruck the moment I laid my eyes on them, and even more so once I wore them. Everywhere I go, the unique design makes heads turn.;)
(This might just be the'conversation starter with a girl' that I have been waiting for since so long!)
Wondering why the shoes are called ZPump? Well, that's because the shoes come equipped with a pump, which you can press to inflate air into the upper part. It's not an external pump, but rather a button has been provided on the shoe itself, which you need to press repeatedly, filling in air into the shoe with each press. A similar valve has also been provided on the shoe to let air out without any hassles. This feature comes pretty handy when you are about to run or jog, as the air fills up around the shoe, securing it to your feet. This is probably the best fit I have ever felt in any of the plethora of shoes that I have worn till date. The fit was so perfect that I sometimes felt that I didn't even have shoes on! That, I think, is the best and most important feature of any shoe.
The design is a bit loud for many people, but I really liked the uniqueness of the shoes and was comfortable wearing them both in college and while out in the street. After all, we all want to stand out in the crowd, don't we?
The shoes provided an exemplary level of comfort and high quality of grip, thanks to the Z-rated outsole which makes it perfect for running on pavements, when I hit the road on my morning jog. In all my jogging endeavors, I didn't slip even once, thanks to the grip, which was immaculate.
I have owned many shoes in the past, from various different brands, but Reebok's shoes have always stood out for their comfort and more importantly their durability in the long run.
I presently also own two other pair of shoes- a trekking pair and a running pair, both by Reebok, but the ZPump does stand out in every aspect.
