Ziera

We are, and have always been, passionate about how our shoes fit and feel. So much so, that for more than 84 years our family owned business has been getting to know women and their feet better. It all started in 1933 when brothers-in-law Mervyn Adams and David Robertson went into partnership as podiatrists. Looking for footwear to recommend to their clients, they found a lack of styles they believed to be orthopaedically good enough. So they set out on an ambitious project to study women’s feet and create unique ‘lasts’ (shoe moulds) based on anatomical need. Today, these original insights combined with years of experience, knowledge of materials and the intricate mechanics of the foot have enabled us to develop the best possible solutions for women's feet of all shapes and sizes. Shoes that are designed with maximum comfort, durability, and women’s feet, at their heart. This family-owned New Zealand export company is now headed by the third generation of Robertsons - Andrew, grandson of the founder. And the passion and continued attention to the details of women’s feet, the every day demands of individuals getting on with their busy lives and expressing their unique style, remains the same. Because standing on their own two feet, being the best they can be, and championing what matters to them most shouldn’t be painful. Ziera. Shoes that let you get on with being you.
