ADDITIONAL FITTING INFORMATION

Accommodating Fit: Many of our standard widths feature a comfortable, accommodating fit due to our hands-free toebox design.
Choosing Your Width: If you typically require a wide fitting, our Wide (2E) options are a great place to start. For the most generous fitting with maximum volume and width in the forefoot, select our Extra Wide (4E) models.
Fit Recommendations:
- If you are between widths (e.g., standard to wide), and still experience fit issues, consider trying a wide (2E) option in your regular size.
- For very high arches or very high insteps, an Extra Wide (4E) model can provide more room.
- Thin socks can provide a slightly less snug fit.

✨ Reviews Summary

Reviewers love the Athens for its effortless step-in convenience, roomy toe box, and all-day comfort — many wear them for 20,000+ step days at theme parks, on European trips, and through 12-hour hospital shifts without soreness. A favorite for people with mobility challenges, neuropathy, and post-surgery recovery. Multi-pair and multi-year loyalty is a consistent theme.

Very poor quality
I bought this a year ago for my husband. He had other shoes so did not start wearing it until the last couple of months but it broke almost immediately. Near the heel on the inside of the shoe there’s a giant hole with the fillings falling out. And you can tell from the sole of the shoe that it has barely been worn. This has never happened with any sneaker that either of us have ever purchased. Wanted to like this so much but was very disappointed and shocked.

Great change
I enjoy these shoes because they enhance stability walking. More sensory information comes to the lower extremity nerves and spinal cord. Walking is more stable but comfortable as well. Love the ease of putting them on my feet!

Women's Athens WIDE EE - AFO BRACE APPROVED!
I purchased both of these shoes for my fiancé and they do look clean. She is a happy camper since we couldn't find anything that would fit her AFO Brace besides specific New Balance shoes.

Amazing Shoes
I love my Kizik Athens shoes. They are so easy to slip on and the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I’m 75 yrs. old and have worn a lot of tennis shoes and these are the best. I highly recommend them to anyone, young or old.

Exceptional shoes
I love my Kiziks. They are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. If I had a bunch of money, I would have every color of these. I just have to slip them off and on with ease. Thank you for making the best shoes ever.
