Zuzatz: Cool Travel Shoes

Other posts by DesertMama

sunset-beach-sandy-sceneHave you ever bought two or more pairs of the same summer shoes because you wanted the same style in different colors? I have done it on multiple occasions. And we all know that when it comes to travel, space is always an issue — especially with shoes. That’s where Zuzatz (pronounced zoo-zats) comes in. These are some very cool travel shoes.

Zuzatz are a black, thick sole (super if you’re looking for some height) and various choices of interchangeable clips. A standard pair comes with a single base and two style straps, but you can purchase any of the ten packs of Style Straps or “uppers” which come in packs of three. The straps fasten into what look like holes in the shoes. Look closer, and you will notice there is (patented) QuickClick technology keeping the straps in place (very cool!).

I was lucky enough to be offered a  pair to review, with five Style Straps — and let me tell you, I think they are totally cool — especially for travel. Here is what I like about these shoes and  little advice if you decide to purchase Zuzata:

1. Ease of use. Who would have ever thought shoes would ever come with directions? But I advise you to read the directions before attempting to fasten and remove the Style Straps. At first it may seem tricky to fasten the straps into the sole, simply because they are such a unique contraption. But once you know what to listen for (the “right” click) and feel for (secure strap) they are a breeze to exchange. If you skip the directions, you might put them in upside down or think they’re fastened in and end up walking off the shoe and tripping.

2. Comfort. I always expect to take several days to break in new shoes, but Zuzatz didn’t take long to break in at all. After a day with the silver straps I forgot I was wearing new shoes.

3. Versatility.  I won’t lie, this is my favorite feature. When my family went to Lake  Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago, I threw a pair of Zuzatz in my suitcase and put the straps in the outside pocket . I instantly had five pairs of shoes to go with different outfits — easy breezy.  Another nice thing about Zuzatz is that they can be dressed up (rhinestones) or down (colorful  nylon).

If you’re looking to consolidate your shoes while traveling, I recommend you check out Zazatz — did I mention these are very cool travel shoes?

    LOVE these! Just makes me wish I had thought of it first!
    The best part is that they even come in larger sizes. Have already emailed the link to my mom and sisters who wear sizes 10 and 11 and have a hard time finding cute shoes.

    OMG–this is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for! Are they dressy enough to wear with a skirt when you’re going out at night? Or is that asking too much of them?

    Absolutely, I’ve worn mine with a skirt & a black dress.
