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.

OMG! Accessible shoes that are cute

I wear a drop foot brace that has to fit in my shoe. The design makes them deep enough to fit my brace and I don’t have to untie them at all! Genius! They are so comfortable I forget I’m wearing them

The more I wear them, the more I like them

So here’s my honest opinion of Kizik’s as a product. I own three pairs and I like them all very well, but these black Athens are my favorite. I’m not wild about wearing any of my Kiziks without socks though. I don’t think they’re nearly as comfortable on bare feet like Skechers are, but with a pair of socks, these shoes are the ultimate. I love just stepping in something and not having to bend down. All day comfort for everyday walking, but great for the gym too.
