Kizik delivers true hands-free slip-on convenience, and reviews indicate the brand works well for pregnancy, arthritis, travel, and quick on-off, with styles like Athens, Milan, and Lima praised for comfort and versatility; however, recurring complaints cite poor durability (toe box fabric puckering, heel holes), inconsistent fit and support, and shoes that sometimes fail to slip on cleanly. While many call them game‑changing and buy multiple pairs, others report blisters, wide/loose sizing, and quality-control issues that diminish long-term satisfaction with the brand.

I loved wearing these as a mom! I got a pair of the Athens style when I was pregnant and they were so helpful in the third trimester since I did not have to bend down to put my shoes on (socks were still a struggle but one less thing!). The Athens style is wider than typical sneaker width to me, so it was very comfy.
Got a pair of these when I was pregnant and couldn’t touch my toes. These made it so much easier to put my sneakers on! I did size a half size up. I added no tie laces to make it even easier. They don’t have very much support and an insole is helpful especially if you want to do any type of work out in them. They have gotten pretty dirty from everyday use and they aren’t the easiest to clean.

I loved my first pair of Kiziks so much I bought two more pairs! These came in especially handy when in Japan. While others were fumbling trying to get their sneakers tied (because let's be honest, you can't wear cute shoes when you're walking 40k steps per day), I could just pop on & off my sneakers. Important disclaimer - I have incredibly wide feet, and super high arches. I found that "barefoot" style shoes are a must for me when it comes to comfort. This also means that if you're not used to the lack of arch support, it might be tough on your feet. Their return policy is admittedly pretty restrictive and reads like they'll find any excuse to not accept your return (which I read was the case for others), so be super careful when testing them out at home. Or, if possible, consider finding a running store that carries Kiziks so you can test them out without the risk.

I bought these shoes for my father who is 80 years old and lives in a retirement home (for Christmas last year). He found them very comfortable and wore them a lot, but never wore outside as it was winter time. I live 3000 miles away from my father, and I went to visit him in June. This was the condition of the shoes (note he has the heel part taped up because it fell apart) I was very surprised so I wrote the company asking for compensation. Their response to me was they would give me a 15 percent off a new pair and that this was considered normal wear and tear. If this is normal, wear and tear for 6 months on an 80 year old in a retirement home, I would not want to see what they look like after one year on a teenager or a man that is using them outside. It also surprises me that they think I would want to buy another pair using their discount which was very minimal.
