Step into quality with scarpa! - Scarpa Zen Pro Hiking Shoes

I’m new to hiking shoes and am new to the Scarpa brand after much research into different brands. My first impressions of the Zen Pro hiking shoe: Very comfortable, close to wearing sneakers except the outsole is harder rubber, naturally, given the durability needed for hiking. So, there is a harder feeling when walking but still cushiony and comfortable. In my case, I don’t really do hiking but I enjoy wearing the Zens as everyday shoes around town They are THAT comfortable! In doing research, I found differing and confusing advice on sizing for Scarpa. I wear US 11 1/2 in sneakers, US 11 in dress shoes, and the Scarpa size 44.5 which corresponds to US 11 fits me comfortably. The Zens appear to be very well-made and are reasonably priced.
