One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

Ahh, the shoes…Every woman’s Achille’s heel, no?  But who can resist a funky and comfy pair like The Zaza?

As a child, Samantha Zaza spent as much time as possible drawing. She wore down her first Prismacolors in Istanbul, discovered ink in Waterloo and fell for oils in Cairo. She drew all over everything— the desks at school, her books, and…her shoes.

Many years later, before going to bed one night, Samantha doodled her shoe idea on the back of an appliance manual that was nearby, and decided to submit her idea to John Fluevog—an independent retailer of forward-thinking footwear created for the feet of unique souls, from Madonna to the runways of high fashion.  

Recently having relocated to Istanbul, Samantha’s love of mary janes and oxfords, and spats have led her to come up with The Zaza that combined elements of these styles. 

The design has a spats-inspired wide strap with three cutesy buttons attached by elastic, and comes in two color combinations – black & beige and brown & green.

So, will you be pretty when you wear them? Ask your Mother.
