In 1946, two podiatrists measured over 10,000 women's feet throughout New Zealand to determine what makes the perfect fit. Backed by this research and expertise, Ziera was launched so women could walk in superior comfort without sacrificing their style.

The key to Ziera comfort is a layered construction with a range of anatomically contoured PU footbeds for shock-absorbing flexible arch support that targets different podiatric needs. Most styles are removeable, easily facilitating custom orthotic use.
