Zipped Brands: How We Are Changing Accessible Footwear.

Why Us?

Our mission is to make footwear easier and more stylish for everyone, especially for those who find traditional shoes challenging, or even impossible to wear. But what makes Zipped Brands different, and why did we set out on this journey? Here’s a look at why we’re passionate about making accessible footwear and how our adaptive shoes are designed for people of all abilities.

The Spark Behind It All

The inspiration for Zipped Brands was simple: everyone deserves access to their favorite brands of shoes—no exceptions. Many individuals with disabilities face daily challenges just getting into their shoes. While mainstream brands make strides in style and comfort, they often overlook accessibility. That’s where Zipped Brands steps in (See what we did there?).

As someone who understands the need for accessibility and convenience in every aspect of life, Aaron created Zipped Brands to bridge this gap. We don't just add a zipper to shoes; we unlock freedom, confidence, and inclusion for individuals who value independence and ease-of-use but may struggle with wearing traditional shoes.

Our Mission: Make Traditional Shoes That Aren't Accessible, Accessible 

Zipped Brands was born from a commitment to accessibility, but we’re also dedicated to delivering products that are as stylish as they are practical. Our shoes feature custom zippers discreetly placed along the sole, making them open fully and easy to slip on and off without sacrificing style or quality. It’s a small modification with a big impact.

How We Put You First

From the start, we listened to people in the community who shared the everyday struggles of dealing with inaccessible shoes. Every zipper we add is thoughtfully placed to create an experience that’s intuitive and frustration-free.

We also welcome feedback from our community because your voices drive our innovation. Whether it’s refining our design or exploring new ideas to improve accessibility, Zipped Brands is shaped by the people who wear our shoes. Your feedback matters, and we’re here to make sure every pair serves you. Please don't hesitate to reach out!

The Benefits of Adaptive Footwear

Why a zipper, you ask? For many people with disabilities, putting on shoes can be time-consuming, uncomfortable, painful, or even impossible. Adding a zipper gives you a simpler way to get in and out of your shoes—fast and without the struggle. Zipped Brands shoes are designed to offer people the ability to wear traditional shoes that they otherwise wouldn't be able to wear by adding a handcrafted zipper.

This combination of style and accessibility means you don’t have to choose between looking good and feeling comfortable. We’re here to make sure you have both.

Our Vision for the Future

This is just the beginning. Our vision is to see Zipped Brands become a leader in accessible footwear, inspiring more companies to prioritize inclusive design. We aim to grow our product offerings, make our adaptive footwear mainstream, and continue pushing boundaries in the footwear industry.
