ZIPZ® SHOES

ZIPZ 101

“THINKING OUTSIDE THE SHOE BOX”

What makes Zipz® Shoes different than any other shoes available in the marketplace today?

Zipz® Shoes is the world’s first and only fully interchangeable shoe system. This allows consumers the ability to change the “cover”, or top of the shoe, with the “soul”, or bottom of the shoe. There are numerous different styles, patterns, and colors to choose from allowing the consumer to make a personal fashion statement every day of the week.

Zipz® Shoes is really a gimmick right?

You zip your pants, jackets, shirts and even boots! There’s no gimmick in that right? Just because you haven’t done it before doesn’t mean it’s a gimmick. There is a first time for everything and the time to zip your shoes has come.

How do I know these shoes are actually going to last and are they comfortable to wear?

· Zipz® Shoes uses only the finest materials and processes in the construction of our shoes. We use 10.5 ounce canvas in our “Cali Classic” line to provide the maximum strength and superior quality in materials. That’s more than double that of others shoes like Vans and Converse.

· Our specially designed outsole provides maximum traction without the squeaking noises you get from other shoes on hard surfaces.

· Our customized, extra cushioned insole works in conjunction with our specially designed arch support system to give you the most comfortable fit available. Zipz® Shoes are the perfect companion even if your lifestyle requires you to be on your feet all day.

· Further our interchangeable zipper system allows for breathability; fresh air to flow in and out of your shoes as you walk. This keeps your feet dry and fresh and your insoles working for you, not against you.

How do I know the Zipper is any good and will last? Is it strong?

Zipz® Shoes only uses YKK™ zippers and fastening systems in the construction of our shoes. YKK™ is the premier fastening company in the world with a fantastic reputation for durability and strength. Our partnership with YKK™ means that Zipz® Shoes will always utilize the best zipper available anywhere in the world.

Are Zipz® Shoes waterproof?

No, Zipz® Shoes are not waterproof, but neither are Vans, Converse or any other type of tennis or canvas shoe.

What are some of the benefits to interchangeable shoe parts?

Fashion is fun and now you can dictate your own fashion by interchanging the shoe components to create a shoe you like. In addition, you only have to buy the components you want in the future rather than buying a complete pair of shoes.

You can simply buy numerous Zipz® Shoes “Covers” and/or Zipz® Shoes “Souls” and mix them at home under your own creative discretion.

The maintenance is a snap as well. You can wash the covers and replace it with another cover while the dirty one is being cleaned.

Travel space is another problem Zipz® Shoes solves. You can simply stack numerous covers on top of one another. No more extra bag for shoes necessary! This takes up far less space than packing several pairs of normal shoes.

And finally if you have a foot device for an orthotic, our proprietary and patent pending zipper system makes the insertion and removal of the device very simple.

What other canvas shoe can do all this?

As a retailer, why is Zipz® Shoes good for my store?

Aside from being a revolutionary new product, Zipz® Shoes primary benefits are incremental sales and allowing inventory to actually work for you. In the traditional shoe selling world you have one sample on display and numerous boxes in a back storage room a consumer never sees. These boxes do not generate any incremental sales or work for the retailer. With Zipz® Shoes, your covers and souls are on display in full view of the consumer. This allows the inventory to actually do some work for you and this also can lead to incremental sales. A consumer coming in to buy a shirt may now buy three Zipz® Shoes covers and one Zipz® Shoes soul leading to a sale well over $100 rather than just a shirt.

Why do Zipz® Shoes cost more than Vans and Converse? They look the same, right?

Wrong! Zipz® Shoes has designed our YKK™ fastening system to be as inconspicuous as possible which allows the interchangeability feature to not overpower the shoe from a visual standpoint. This, coupled with our superior materials, our comfort and arch support systems, and our outsole leads to a far superior shoe that is really not comparable to Vans or Converse, even though they may look alike in some regards.

The simple fact is they cannot do what a Zipz® Shoes does. When you have a choice of buying a car in coupe or convertible, the convertible is always more expensive…why? Well you are paying extra for the option to make the car convertible at your discretion. That option is a price premium as the coupe version cannot do that. Think of Zipz® Shoes in the same way! We have no competition and yet we give you that option!

If the idea for Zipz® Shoes is so good why is it not Patented?

It is! Zipz® Shoes™ has been issued numerous patents in both utility and design for it revolutionary products. Our patents are in force the world over and our IP and Patent attorneys are Knobbe, Martin, Olson & Bear (the same guys Microsoft uses) who are among the world’s best in that field!
