I dug back a few pages, but I'm trying to see if the sail/blue turbo colorway has pics yet? Just got the ZF SP today and may give the Turbo a try as well. Thanks!

Special release for Berlin marathon
First off, no I'm not a runner. I bought these out of curiosity due to my interest in the ZoomX cushioning (they didn't make VF4% in size 14). Plus I actually like the aesthetics of the shoe, particularly in the Barely Grey/Hot Punch colorway (which, to my eyes, look minty green and infrared).
They're really light and extremely comfortable. I'm a true size 14 and have an average/narrow foot, and I bought a size 14. The shoe feels snug and secure (even when unlaced, minus some heel slip) and in spite of the fact that I've got pockets of dead space on either side of the shoe due to my narrow foot. It's currently the evening (so my feet are a little larger) and I still have the same width space, and in terms of length I have a decent ~5/8 inch between my big toe and the end of the shoe. I'm very glad I didn't bother ordering a size 15 as it would have been a sloppy mess, with over an inch in the toe box.
BUT, there is one thing that I don't like:
I believe another NTer (and his wife) mentioned this; but the toebox gets progressively shorter in height (shallow) causing the upper to put a bit of pressure on the top of my big toe. So even though I have more than enough room in terms of length, I have no vertical wiggle room. I can't tell if it's the mesh upper itself that has no give, but it's definitely exacerbated by the red "racing stripe." Hopefully after the insole compresses a bit, I'll have that bit of wiggle room that I want. Bigfooters can't go a half size up, and I wouldn't even want to do that as it's an otherwise perfect fit.
Dude I have this same problem, and never thought about using a golf ball. Thanks!Yep, right on the top of my big toenails. And it's not a horrible pain, more like an ache.
I've had this problem with one or two shoes before, and if they didn't quite break in I used a decent-sized ball bearing (or any ball shaped object, really) and jammed it where my big toe normally sits. This would stretch out that one problem area enough to relieve the pressure. I know I used the same trick with a golf ball on a pair of Jordan 9s. Just left it in the shoe for two days and no more problem.
My everyday workout shoe. It just works. Good grip too. Most of the boxing I do is in those shoes. I will say that they’re easy to bust up. I haven’t had a favorite shoe since the free 2’s. These are it
