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.

Top quality products every time!

This is the third pair of shoes I’ve purchased for my 88 year-old mom and they are perfect for her because bending down to put her shoes on is very hard. Now she just slips her foot in and goes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So cute and comfy!

Having a EE width foot and finding athletic shoes to fit is not easy! Bought these and was thrilled with the fit and comfort, as well as the style. And came in handy for travel, to slip off and on easily going through TSA. Will be back for more, please add EE sizing to all styles!
