Kizik Shoes & Sneakers
The Sneaker You Step In & Go
Looking for sneakers you can put on without bending down or using your hands? Kizik makes hands-free footwear designed to make getting out the door easier, combining step-in convenience with cushioning, supportive construction, and everyday style. From casual sneakers to walking and travel-ready options, Kizik gives you an easier way to move through your day.
The Idea That Changed the Way Shoes Go On
Kizik began with a simple question: what if you could make a shoe that collapses when you step into it and then springs back into place? Founder Mike Pratt developed his first hands-free shoe prototypes in 2009, and Kizik emerged in 2017 as a brand built around hands-free footwear. Since then, the technology has evolved through innovations including Cage® and Internal Cage® technology, helping make hands-free shoes available across casual, active, travel, outdoor, and kids' styles.

The Kizik Difference
Kizik is built around one simple idea: shoes should be easier to get into without sacrificing the way they look or feel. Its patented HandsFree Labs® technology allows the heel to compress as you step in and then return to position for a secure fit. Current Kizik styles also combine this technology with foam cushioning, supportive construction, and different upper materials depending on the model. The result is footwear designed to make everyday movement easier—from heading out the door in the morning to walking through an airport or spending a full day on your feet.
