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

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.

In a class all of its own!

My husband and I both have a pair of Kiziks and I just bought him his second pair only because his first pair was the victim of a bored puppy that had a need to chew! We both love these shoes for the ease of slipping them on and the extra room in the toe box. I love them so much I bought a pair for my grown son (who normally wears only Nike and Hey Dudes) and my Mom. They also love the comfort of these shoes. All of these were the Athens style. I would say they fit true to size so just order your normal size but expect a roomier feel in the toe box area as I mentioned earlier. This is actually better for your feet and allows for better balance. Obviously this may be an issue for someone with narrow feet and I don’t know if there is an option to purchase narrow. I think someone with wide feet will still fit in these comfortably. Another added feature is you can just throw them in the wash to spruce them up. I have other brands “hands free” shoes but for me - they aren’t as comfy. I look forward to some new color choices before I purchase again.
