Ziera is a New Zealand footwear company with a long-standing focus on fit and comfort for women. Founded in 1933 by podiatrists Mervyn Adams and David Robertson, the family-owned business developed its own last designs after studying thousands of feet, aiming to create shoes that address anatomical needs while maintaining durability and everyday usability. Based in Mangere, Auckland, the company serves customers seeking comfortable, well-constructed footwear that supports an active lifestyle and varied foot shapes. Operating within the retail apparel and fashion sector, Ziera emphasizes product development rooted in foot mechanics and materials knowledge, evolving from a bricks-and-mortar emphasis to support its e-commerce and export presence under the third generation of the Robertson family. A notable recent development is the acquisition of Ziera by the Munro Footwear Group in 2019, reflecting consolidation within the regional footwear industry.
