Sandals are open footwear consisting, in its most basic design; of a sole which is fastened or held to the foot by straps or thongs, leaving most or all of the foot exposed. Sandals are primarily a warm weather type of footwear and can be classified based on the function and activity for which they are intended or by their design and style. Casual and walking sandals are mainly designed for comfort, while sport sandals are mostly intended to provide support, traction and performance. Fashionable and dress sandals for women may have many of the style variations found on other shoe styles such as medium to high heels, platforms, toe covering etc. Other styles of sandals include, but are not limited to; flip flops, thongs, ankle strap sandals, fisherman sandals, wedge sandals, etc.
About Zip Up:
Zip up describes articles that are fastened with a zipper, for example, a zip up jacket. The zipper mechanism uses two separate strips of fabric with interlocking teeth called chain zippers and a slider with a tab to open or closed the strips. Zippered closure is practical, fast, and secure; as a result, it is widely used in a variety of articles including bags, shoes, apparel, and small leather goods.

I love these comfortable yet stylish gladiator sandals. I own both the taupe and the black. They look great in cool weather with socks/tights and in summer without. Lots of ankle support - very easy to get on and off with back zipper. Well made.
