There is no zipper. Firstly, there is only a decorative scratch on the right side, not for tightening the shoe. It is very good, lightweight, and high-quality with a soft sole. At the price of €80 that I bought it, it is an excellent choice for everyday wear and for a more formal outfit. I would say that the Versace box with Versace wrapping inside and each shoe in a separate Versace bag is very nice. It has a similar style to the Y3 kaiwa shoes from Adidas, which have four times the price!
