Our take on the Zev Black Box

The Zev is a men's tassel loafer from Steve Madden with a leather upper, a 1.5-inch heel and a rubber sole. The tassel detail gives it a dressier look than a plain penny loafer, while the textile and synthetic lining keeps the inside soft. It suits men who want a smart-casual shoe for office days, dinners or weddings without going to a full dress shoe. Against leather-soled loafers, the rubber sole is more forgiving on pavement and in wet weather, though the modest heel and synthetic lining put it below premium benchmade loafers on refinement. Owners rate it well overall, and the main caution is sizing: Steve Madden advises going up half a size if you are between sizes.

Questions and answers

Should I size up in the Zev loafer?
Steve Madden's fit tip says to go up a half size if you are between sizes. Buyers who found it snug back that up.
Is the Zev good for a wedding or formal event?
Yes. The leather upper and tassel detail make it dressy enough for suits and events, and the rubber sole is more comfortable for standing than a leather sole.
Can I wear the Zev with jeans?
It works with dark denim and chinos as a smart-casual shoe. It is less casual than a sneaker, so it suits dressed-up outfits best.
What is the heel height?
The heel is 1.5 inches, which adds a little height without the feel of a dress shoe.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is rubber, which grips better on pavement and in wet weather than a leather sole.
How does the Zev compare with a plain penny loafer?
The Zev adds a tassel, so it reads dressier. If you want a cleaner, more casual look, a plain penny loafer is the safer pick.
