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.

Unbelievable

I bought these for my wife after buying myself some Kiziks. Not only do you step in easier than ever, you step into the most comfortable and supportive sneaker you’ll ever wear. I thought my Adidas and Skechers were comfortable, but when I put them on, they felt flat under my feet after wearing my Kiziks! I’m a convert! I want them to make every style of shoe now.

My toes can breathe again

My experience with this website was very good. User friendly and clear. The Kizik Athens shoes were exactly as described, but as I wore them they were indescribable. Great support, cushiony and a nice toe box so I can wiggle my toes. My toes can breathe again!
