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.

    Purchase Athens women’s shoes

    I love the style and the comfort ! The shoes are so comfortable and the slipping in without having to bend down and twist and pull my feet into the shoes is the best! I would go for a darker color because the light color gets dirty. But I love the shoes and will buy more. Never again no slip ins - love love love and the size is true to size

    I love them. I am waiting for the Athens II in chambray blue to come back in stock.

    Athens - great. Athens 2 - terrible

    I have bought 6 pairs of Athens shoes and praised them to all friends. I’m so afraid it will be phased out in favor of the new Athens 2, which is very limited in its use by the orange sole running up over the tip of the shoe. Athens has enough class for casual outings with friends. Athens 2 is pure athletic/hike
