Heron Preston and Zellerfeld have expanded on their beta tester program with an updated HERON01. The shoe is Version 0.81 and was designed following feedback from the release of the Version 0.8 in October 2021. Each upgrade is more like a software update than an entirely new model. Version 0.81 has improved the collar shape, reduced material usage to make a lighter shoe, and added a softer upper. It also boasts a snugger fit, roomier toe box, higher heel inclination, optimized arch support, and an optimized midsole design. To coincide with the release of their latest update, Zellerfeld has also unveiled an iPhone app to apply for their beta program that lets you scan your foot for proper sizing. Anyone who becomes a beta tester will be able to purchase the shoes and be granted one free update when the next iteration is released by providing feedback and returning their old pair.
