Zzhap Men’s Casual Oxford Shoes Breathable Flat Fashion Sneakers

 

When going out to work or having a fun night with friends, people want to look good and feel comfortable in whatever clothes and shoes they wear. What clothes they wear helps express their identity; from who they are to how they feel. Choosing the right accessory to wear, like the Zzhap Men’s Casual Oxford Breathable Flat Fashion Sneakers, can help people look stylish, while looking professional at the same time. These casual Oxford shoes seem to be a popular sell on Amazon with 7,866 ratings, since it was first available in August 2017¹.

An important factor when choosing the right shoe to wear is to make sure it’s comfortable for walking and for any everyday activity. These shoes are made of flexible rubber which can help the feet move more freely when walking without feeling tight or restricted. I have worn the shoes for work and they are comfortable for my feet.

One drawback of these Zzhap shoes is that the insoles inside the shoes do not provide any impact absorption when walking for a long time. Your feet may feel tired after walking and standing for a long period of time. In order to remediate this issue, I replaced the insole with a Dr. Scholl’s padding and it helped with absorbing some of the impact when walking.

Having the inner sole and the outer materials of the shoes to be constructed of rubber helps the wearer stay comfortable all-day long. The perforated “vamp” or the front of the shoes contain holes that allows the shoes to be breathable which allows the air to flow through the shoes, cooling the feet all-day long as well. A drawback of these perforations is water can travel through the holes of the shoes and get the feet wet when walking through puddles in the rain and/or snow.

These Zzhap Oxford casual shoes have an interesting mix of formal and casual styles that lends to their versatility and allows them to be suitable to be worn for any occasion.

• The Oxford “closed” laces with the perforated vamp gives these shoes a professional kind of look which makes it appropriate to be worn for formal occasions as part of work attire or for a business gathering.

• The flat, outsole underneath the shoes gives it a casual look which allows them to be worn in more broader settings like going out to a restaurant or the movie theater with friends.

Fashion Meets Function: The Stylish Design of Zzhap Sneakers

When I searched online for shoes I can wear for work, I wanted the shoes to be breathable in order to keep my feet feeling cool and to look presentable to my co-workers at the workplace. The main aesthetic appeal of these casual, oxford shoes is that they have both the formal oxford style and the casual style of regular walking shoes. Since these shoes have these interesting features, it seemed to me that these shoes would satisfy my fashion and functional needs.

The Zzhap sneakers can work with any particular style or looks.

• When going to work, these shoes can be paired with a dress shirt and dress pants. These shoes combined with the work clothes can project a professional look to co-workers.

• Wearing a polo shirt with pants and the Zzhap sneakers is fine too because this projects a casual look as well.

People want, including me, to wear shoes that are practical and are fashion-forward. They project to people that you are making an investment in your appearance and this provides a testament to your style and detail. Choosing the right wardrobe with these shoes can help elevate your look, leading to a better impression towards people.

There are ways to keep the Zzhap sneakers clean and in good maintenance. Spraying a water and stain repellent to the sneakers can help prevent water and dirt from going through these shoes. The sneakers can be cleaned using a prepared cleaning solution and wiping it down with a damp cloth/sponge. The soles of the sneakers can be also cleaned using an all-purpose foam cleaner and wiping it down with a damp cloth as well.

Making the Informed Choice: Quality and Value for Money

The durability of these Zzhap casual oxford shoes ranges from okay to questionable. I wore my last pair for about a year and a half before getting a new pair of these shoes. The last pair started to have rips on the bottom of the outsole. It could be due to the fact that I walk a lot in the shoes for work and did not maintain them properly over time, but I am not sure if that was the only cause for these shoes to wear out.

The Zzhap sneakers stacks up well with other comparable products.

• Bruno Marc mesh oxford sneakers are also breathable like the Zzhap sneakers, but it’s made out of textile and rubber and is slightly less expensive.

• Clarks Men’s Tilden Cap Oxford dress shoes are made with leather with a rubber outsole. They have good cushioning and is more expensive than the Zzhap sneakers at ~ $64.99.

• Cole Haan Men’s 2.Zerogrand Laser Wing oxford are sneakers that look like dress shoes and are made of leather with perforations, making it breathable and has a rubber outsole. It has an inner padding lining that makes it confortable, but is pricey at ~ $137 for a pair.

There are mostly positive reviews for these shoes on Amazon.com with 4.3 out 5 stars with 7868 global ratings¹. The general overview of customer reviews are that they look nice, are comfortable, and is a good price. From my personal use of these shoes over the years, they look nice to wear, but the long-term performance is questionable. I noticed that there was a rip/tear on the outsole of the shoe after wearing the shoes for work after two years. However, after wearing these shoes to work for years, I find that they are okay for general day-to-day walking while providing a nice, interesting look for your footwear. I also received many positive complements from co-workers saying these are nice looking shoes.
