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.

Kizik shoes

I Love Kizik shoes. I am A Registered Nurse and from the first time I put the shoes on they are so comfortable and comfortable for my 12 hour shifts. Thank You

These are great!

I like these more than expected. Easy to put on and laces can be tightened. I even played some pickleball in them to see if they were ok for sideways motion and they are. Mostly they are great around the house and for errands to feel secure and to take on and off easily.

Perfect for Hip Replacement Post Op

My physical therapist recommended these shoes and getting my shoes on proved to be one of the few things I could do independently. Got lots of compliments, too! I heartily recommend. Occasionally one shoe feels tight at the end of an 8-hour day, but that could be because I have a small bunion.

Perfect Shoe For After Hip Surgery

My daughter (physical therapist) recommended this shoe for me to use after hip replacement surgery. Perfect step toward independence (though getting the socks on is a different story). I've gotten multiple compliments, but mostly I just love getting them on by myself!

Not worth the hassle

Shoes are way overpriced. The sizes aren't correct they run very small and the process for ordering and delivering is unneccessarily slow and bureacratic

You might like these too.
