A spring in your step

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!

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.

Good shoes just needs some tweaking!

I’m enjoying my shoes, they are comfortable, stylish and easy to slip on and off. I would caution about getting the lighter colored ones however as they seem to scuff easily and pick up dirt like a magnet. I have to take a toothbrush and soapy water to them just about every time I wear them. Also, in the promotional videos the shoes are displayed without the laces tied on top (not showing the bow). When my shoes arrived they had big floppy laces tied with a big bow showing. The shoes untie sometimes defeating the benefits and convenience of the hands free slip design. Why don’t you send your shoes like you display them in your videos and pictures? Other than those two issues, I think they’re great shoes, in fact, I just bought a second pair in dark gray. They seem to hide the dirt much better but I’m still having to deal with the unsightly bows showing.

My third pair of Athens

These aren't necessarily my favorite Athens shoe -- that honor goes to the blackout -- but these might be my most stylish. Athens is the GOAT among Kiziks!

Excellent fit and fashionable

Delivered on time and well worth the price. The shoes are truly slip on and a good alternative to sketchers.
