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.

Love Kizik’s!!

I owe many pairs of Kizik’s. Bought my first pair after going through neck surgery. Fell in love with the comfort and ease of these shoes. I walk 3 miles every day. These shoes are very supportive. I also own 4 pairs of Kizik Irvine in fun colors. Just love these shoes and the great customer service provided by Kizik!!

Love my Kiziks.

This is my second pair of Kizik sneakers, and I love them. I purchased my first pair in a shoe store, where I was properly fitted (wide width), and my second pair online. Most comfortable footwear I’ve ever had! The step-in feature is great for someone with multiple joint replacements.

Nice shoe

Color, fit and comfort are good. Lightweight and cushioned heel. However the arch isn't the best. I like the slip on, slip off feature.

Wonderfully comfortable

Added a new color to my Athens collection! Wonderfully comfortable so I will keep adding. These fit so well and are great support. No need to look any further-cleared out my closet to make room for more Athens! Just wish my size was available when they go on sale - most times it’s not. Missed out on Juno boots because of lack of size availability!

You might like these too.
