Robert Zur

Robert Zur is a family run American footwear and leather goods brand known for True Glove leather, driving style loafers, boots, and woven handbags. According to a retailer profile, designer Robert Zur founded the company in 2001 after several decades designing shoes for major brands, including Cole Haan, and his daughters joined him in the business. At Sole Provisions, the Robert Zur collection brings together loafers, flats, boots, and sneakers, and it sits naturally beside our wider women's footwear, loafers, flats, and women's boots selections.

Robert Zur shoes suit people who want an elevated, soft leather look that feels easy to wear. The sections below explain the brand's story, its signature leather, and how to choose a pair.

A Designer Led Family Brand

A retailer profile says Robert Zur started his company in 2001 after a long career as a shoe designer, and that his two daughters, Heather and Rachael, joined him and now help run it. A brand listing places the company's headquarters in Freeport, Maine. The brand describes itself as a luxury footwear and accessories label with handcrafted women's and men's shoes, handbags, and small leather goods. Where a specific pair is made is not listed on our collection page, so check the product information for the style you are considering.

True Glove Leather

True Glove is the brand's signature material. A retailer describes it as the mainstay of Robert Zur footwear, used in the lining and sometimes throughout the shoe, and another retailer describes a lambskin upper with a padded insole on one loafer. The brand and retailers call it ultra soft, but feel is personal, so try a pair if you can. Soft leather benefits from care, so follow the instructions that come with your pair and see our shoe care products. Styles in our collection change often, so check each product page for what is available now.

Loafers, Drivers, and Flats

Loafers and driving style shoes are the heart of the range, from bit loafers to woven leather designs and flats. Browse our loafers, flats, women's slip ons, and women's oxfords. Men's styles such as penny loafers and driving mocs are also part of the brand, so see our men's slip ons.

Boots and Booties

For cooler days, Robert Zur makes boots and booties in leather, including knee high styles. Browse our booties, ankle boots, and women's boots. Leather and suede are not waterproof unless a style says so, so check each product page before wearing in wet weather.

Sneakers, Sandals, and Bags

The brand also offers sneakers and sandals, along with woven leather handbags. Browse our women's sneakers, women's sandals, and bags.

Narrow Widths and Fit

Robert Zur is known for offering narrow widths, with retailers listing medium and narrow options and a very narrow size on some styles. Availability varies by style, so check each product page. Browse our women's narrow shoes. If you need more room instead, see our women's wide shoes.

Choosing the Right Fit

Fit varies by style, so check each product page and size chart. Width and sizing details are not listed on the collection page, so try a pair in store when you can. Try shoes on later in the day, when feet tend to be fullest. If you want to add your own support, browse our shoe inserts. For medical questions about your feet, check with a healthcare professional.
