Z-Soul Platform Sneaker

I bought these from another retailer almost 2 years ago. I’ll replace them with a pair from Nordstom soon. They’ve held up well. I love the styling; they look great with jeans. I find them very supportive. Reviewers on other sites mention zipper difficulties. First wear: loosen the laces then tie with the zipper up (should be intuitive?) The trick is not to lace them too tightly.. After sizing to your foot, be sure your foot is well back into the heel before zipping. I also rub Gulfwax on the zippers a few times a year. TTS lengthwise. I have a narrow, low volume foot and can wear these, so they probably run on the narrow side. Minimal break-in time. Comfortable without socks. Graphite is very neutral and doesn’t show dirt. I also have this shoe in white canvas and can’t keep them clean enough to wear. There’s a white leather version that I hope Nordstrom will carry.

I own 4 pair of these in multiple colors, I love them. Great support, I have to have good arch support. Comfortable with and without socks. As another reviewer mentioned, white is hard to keep clean. I will buy my next white pair in leather.

The shoe is darling, but the zipper rubs against my little toe joint, making the shoes uncomfortable for walking and long-term wear.

Nice idea, poor execution. Loved the look, bought my size, put my foot in fit great (length) could not zip up, the width wasn’t there! Sadly returned because color and a wider width was not available in my size.
