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.

Great for my teenager

My teenager struggled w tying his shoes. These give him the independence he needs and he isn’t tripping on his laces. Thanks Kizik!

The only shoe he’s worn since receiving

Bought for my 67 year old father who has mobility issues. He initially thought the heels were a little high but he hasn’t worn another pair of shoes since he got these, so I’d say they were a hit. Will definitely be buying more!

Great for my husband with Parkinsons

These are a life savor for my husband with Parkinson’s, he can independently put on his shoes and not have to tie them

LOVE THEM!

1st time ordering from Kizik. I have arthritis , neuropathy and diabetes and have just been wearing slip ons like berkenstocks for the last few years. But I just moved to MI from TN and knew I needed real shoes. I love them. Great fit. Easy to get on and off and I can loosen the laces when my feet swell and the best thing is they don’t look like orthopedic shoes!!!!
