“I have a total of 5 different pairs of Po-Zu footwear and truth is, once you start using this brand, it is just very difficult to go back to regular shoes anymore.“ Mora from the USA

“I tried on a pair of Po-Zu boots and couldn't take them off. I didn't want or need to try on any others. They are the most comfortable, warm, protective boots I have ever worn and my feet are happy feet. I walk about 2 hours a day and I haven't had any blisters or rubs. They're great. I'm a new fan. Thank you for making them.” Louise. T from London

“These aren't work shoes made of preformed plastic by an anonymous corporation. These are shoes for playing in, for being one self and feeling like you're walking on warm sand beneath shaded palms.” Jon. B from London

“Every time I put my Po-Zu slippers on my feet give a blissful sigh. I get this wonderful feeling of complete comfort and total support. It feels like coming home.” Loan. T from the UK

“I am a big fan of Po-Zu shoes that I discovered 4 years ago - They are the most comfy shoes I've ever worn… I don't think you can actually wear any other shoes after you've tried Po-Zu! ” Catherine M from California
