Bzees

Bzees is a women’s footwear brand that focuses on lightweight, machine‑washable casual shoes, sandals, and boots built for all‑day comfort in everyday life. It sits inside the Caleres portfolio and benefits from the resources of a large, long‑established U.S. footwear company while keeping a clear identity around easy, low‑maintenance comfort.

The brand was introduced in 2013 as Caleres moved further into the comfort and athleisure‑inspired space for women. Instead of building a chain of branded stores, Bzees grew through its own e‑commerce site and placements with national retailers, using digital channels and wholesale partners to reach customers across the country. A key milestone for the brand was its early national distribution through major department store and online platforms, which allowed it to scale awareness without a traditional brick‑and‑mortar rollout.

Over the past five years, Bzees has broadened its assortment beyond simple slip‑on casuals into sandals, boots, and styles that can work in more polished or work‑appropriate settings, while staying centered on lightweight construction, stretch materials, cushioning, and washability. The line continues to emphasize shoes that are easy to wear, easy to clean, and comfortable enough for long days on feet.

As of November 2024, Bzees products are available across the United States and in select international markets primarily through its website, marketplace platforms, and third‑party retailers. The brand does not operate its own store fleet, and there is no indication that a dedicated Bzees brick‑and‑mortar program is in development. Instead, Bzees relies on the broader Caleres infrastructure for design, sourcing, fulfillment, and customer service, which keeps the focus on product development and digital reach.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, Bzees is most likely to appear as part of other Caleres or wholesale environments rather than as a standalone lease. In centers where Caleres banners such as Famous Footwear or other multi‑brand retailers are present, Bzees can show up as a featured comfort line that deepens the women’s footwear offering and supports repeat visits. The brand’s online‑first posture also reflects a wider shift inside traditional footwear portfolios, with more volume flowing through e‑commerce while existing physical stores act as showplaces for multiple Caleres brands, including Bzees.
