A spring in your step

HandsFree Labs®️ technology: Cage®

Hasta la vista, heel-crushing! No wiggling, no bending down, and no re-tying, either. Once you step in and the heel springs back, you’ll never want to put on any other shoe again—seriously. Style + convenience? Yes, please!

Buh-bye, sweaty feet

4-way stretch knit

The top of your foot deserves comfort too. Breathable knit fabric provides just the right amount of air flow to keep your feet comfy and cool all day long. Remember sticking your feet out the car window as a kid? It’s kinda like that.

Ultra cushy & oh, so comfy

Rabbit Foam® outsole

Our proprietary (and ridiculously comfy) Rabbit Foam® outsoles are the perfect blend of bounce-back and durability so you can be on your feet all day long. What does it feel like? Imagine a thousand angels massaging your feet.

Get a grip

Rubber heel/toe traction

This shoe is all grip and no slip. Our built-in rubber traction pods cover the entire toe and heel areas of the shoe. Perfect for going from lounging around the house to deftly avoiding conversations with the in-laws. Hey rubber, meet road.

Best sneaker

I was resistant to purchasing kizik, thinking it was just a fad…then my daughter,her bf and my husband started buying them, not just one pair but multiple pairs! So I wanted to know just how good they were. I now have 3 pair! The fit, the styles, colors and of course the ease of putting them on are wonderful. I highly recommend kiziks for the whole family!

Excellent shoes

This shoe is a great color and it goes with everything. The material is of good quality. I needed a slip on, hands free shoe with my disability and after much research, I picked the Kizik.

Mom loves these shoes!

This is the 2nd pair I have purchased my Mom for Christmas. She is an active 92 year old woman who does her own shopping, drives her own car, goes to salon, etc. The challenge for her is putting on shoes with laces. These are so easy for her to put on. She says they are very comfortable & she gets a lot of compliments on them when she is in a store or at an appointment. She also loves the color because it goes with so many things and loves the look of shoelaces on them. I’m already planning to get another pair for her birthday, I highly recommend these because my Mom really loves them.

Handicap

Bought these as a gift for my wife. Needed a shoe that would be easier to put on and was happy that she was able to slip into the 9 EE wide shoe much easier.She was pleased that they were comfortable for she also has a high instep and hard to find a shoe that fits.Still a little tight getting them on but hoping they will stretch out after they're worn awhile.

You might like these too.
