I’ve seen the brand Z-Boy several times now while looking up shoes on Zappos. I ‘ve come to think of them as the “Pirate Pig Shoe” because of their funny looking hand-drawn logo tag which consists of a skull and crossbones with a pig’s head instead of the skull. They’ve got a variety of “deck shoe” styles for men and women.

I guess the first thing I noticed was that they are a pretty accurate ripoff of the slip-on Vans line. They also have lace-ups like these canvas “Bicknell” sneakers that look an awful bit like keds. Supposedly there is a decent padded insole in these (called Cloud Nine™?) At these prices, though, I might go for the real McCoy instead.
