In Dinner for Shoes podcast episode 65, host Sarah Wasilak chats with Chiso Osuji, founder of luxury footwear atelier Zena Ziora. Chiso and Sarah discuss the ins and outs of creating a sustainable, made-to-order business as well as the brand’s dedication to handcrafting all materials in Italy. Sarah picks Chiso’s brain about some of the most extreme shoe trends of 2025, then Sarah goes on to list a few of her favorites, ultimately making a case for the return of nostalgic shoes this year. Finally, Sarah tries Chiso’s favorite meal from Chick-fil-A.
