Shoes with laces and a zipper: what's the benefit?

If you’ve shopped at Wolky before, you may have noticed: some of our shoes come with both laces and a zipper. You might wonder why, isn’t that a bit redundant? We understand, but there are several advantages to having a shoe with both closures. What’s so convenient about laces and a zipper? We explain it to you in this blog.

Laces for adjustability, a zipper for convenience

Many people appreciate lace-up shoes because they can adjust the width simply by tightening or loosening the laces to fit the shape of their feet. But adjusting laces every time can be time-consuming, especially if bending is difficult for you, perhaps due to age or a condition that makes tying laces challenging. That’s why at Wolky, many of our shoes also feature a zipper. This makes it easier to slip into the shoes by providing a wider entry. You use the laces to then adjust the shoes to your feet. Et voilá: you have your shoes with laces and zipper on in no time!

Orthotics? A zipper is your best friend

If you wear orthotics, you’ll know it can be challenging to insert them into another pair of shoes, often leading to sticking to just one pair. At Wolky, we think this is a shame! It’s fun to mix up your wardrobe and it’s also important for foot health and the longevity of your shoes to alternate regularly. That’s why we make swapping orthotics as easy as possible with the zipper in our shoes. Another reason to consider buying shoes with laces and a zipper!

Shoes with laces and zipper

Wolky’s collection is filled with shoes equipped with both zippers and laces. Take a look at our lace-up shoes, and you’ll be surprised at how many of them have the added convenience of a zipper. Nearly all our lace-up boots also feature a zipper. This means you only need to adjust the laces once, and afterwards, you can always use the zipper. For example, check out the stylish Akita, classic Caprock, and trendy Check. Prefer sneakers? We have plenty of fashionable models too. There’s the Bounce, Sprint, and Yell XW – all sleek, low sneakers you can slip in and out of easily. So if you need adjustable shoes that are easy to slip into, at Wolky, you’re in the richt place!
