Hands-Free Shoes for Mom

As your belly bump grows in the second and third trimesters, simple tasks like tying shoe laces or pulling on sneakers become an exhausting physical challenge. Kizik shoes are made with a hands-free heel that  collapses as you step in, then springs instantly back into place. This means you can put your shoes on completely upright without ever bending over, straining your back, or wrestling with shoelaces. In other words, they’re a maternity must-have.

Yes. Kizik shoes are made with high-rebound cushioning and a midsole that absorbs impact and lessen joint stress associated with pregnancy. They’re highly rated by pregnant healthcare workers and retail professionals working grueling 10-to-14 hour shifts. Our supportive midsoles also stabilize your shifting center of gravity, ensuring your feet stay as fatigue-free and pain-free as possible by the end of a long day.

If you’re experiencing mild to severe fluid retention or foot swelling, we highly recommend purchasing your Kizik shoes a half-size larger and/or choosing a wide width. Many of our sneakers feature breathable, flexible, and stretchy designs that comfortably expand as your feet swell and splay. Plus, because many women experience a permanent broadening of their arches post-pregnancy, buying a slightly roomier size ensures you'll have a reliable comfort  post-partum.

Absolutely. The effortless slip-on convenience of Kizik becomes even more valuable during postpartum and new-mom life. When your hands are completely full balancing a diaper bag, a car seat, or juggling a toddler, being able to step into your sneakers entirely hands-free saves time and energy. Their durable build also makes them the perfect go-to shoe for everything from stroller walks to the playground and everywhere in between.

Yes, Kiziks are one of the most practical and thoughtful gifts you can give an expectant mother. While traditional baby shower gifts focus exclusively on the newborn, gifting a pair of hands-free sneakers is a unique way to focus on mom because they keep her comfortable, offer relief to swelling feet during her maternity journey, and will continue to make her life easier long after the baby’s born.
