Start from the Parco di Teodorico and go towards the "darsena" (dock). Cross the bridge that goes over the railroad. Continue running to via Sant'Alberto, until you reach the underpass, then turn in the direction of the kennel. Follow the road to the low income houses ("case popolari"), and then head back to the Teodorico park.

ZOOT MAKAI - Many of Zoot's best running shoes developed from their Triathlon tradition. The new Makai is a top quality running shoe that has serious triathlon chops. The upper is a moccasin-like design of closed mesh, with breathability and light, but sturdy enough to hold its shape in the forefoot without overlays. The interior has a smooth feel essential to its sockless Tri requirement, and a bungy-lace closure for rapid transition getaway. The rearfoot has the anchoring properties, though just enough for support and to secure the internal structure, with overlays sweeping into a thermoplastic heel counter then up to the top of the lace throat. The tongue is a more ventilated mesh, to allow the foot to breathe effectively. The midsole is a high quality Z-Bound+, in two densities, firm under the entire heel, resilient up front, and durable enough to go long. The outersole is carbon rubber in the heel continuing with a strip through the middle of the forefoot and at the toe, with toughened foam lugs medially and laterally. The Makai is a versatile and protective performance shoe that is effective for tempo runs, longer races, and a good measure of daily training for serious runners and triathletes.

Testers: "Soft feel against the foot, with plenty of toeroom. Responsive feel, but with good cushioning. Light for a training shoe, but quick enough for faster running."
