Kizik reviews and discussion

I have 3 pair of the Kizik "Lima". I bought the first pair (white) after knee surgery in 2021. After wearing them a few days I noticed that the fabric covering the toe box had begun to pucker. It kept getting worse and so I contacted Kizik to tell them I thought I had a defective pair. It took several weeks of emails and sending photos to get their attention. At first they told me that the shoes were just dirty and I was experiencing normal wear. After several more emails they finally were able to see the problem and agreed to swap them out for me. The second pair (tidepool) are great and I really like them so when a friend asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I asked for another pair (merlot). they arrived a few days later and they were also defective--same problem as the first pair. I reported it to Kizik and they told me again that there was nothing wrong with the shoes. its like beating my head against the wall trying to get them to even acknowledge there is a problem. All in all, this tells me that they have poor quality control and that they do not stand behind their products. Its a great idea to have a slip in sneaker but their execution is poor. The shoes are comfortable and the colors are nice but they don't hold up and they look bad when I am wearing them. Two of the 3 pair I own are defective which is pretty bad odds in my opinion. I cannot recommend them.

I wanted to love these shoes. I really did. But I don’t. PROS: the heel is very comfortable and it is easy to slip your feet into to the shoe. CONS: they don’t fit well. I could have easily fit into a 7 rather than an 8, even though every other pair of shoes I own are size 8. I think their advertising and pictures are a little misleading. I thought I was getting shoes that didn’t need to be laced, although they had the appearance of laces. I have other shoes that work that way. When I received these, I saw that they had regular laces but I was able to slip them on without having to untie the laces. However, they were way too loose. I had to tighten the laces significantly to get them tight enough. As a result, they are all bunched up at the top of my foot and don’t look good at all. I still can’t get the laces tight enough to make the shoe fit like it should. Plus, the laces flop around on the top of my feet. I’m disappointed after paying $129 for this pair of shoes. They need to be more transparent with their advertising and pictures they use on their web site. I will not recommend this show to anybody.

I wore them to work on the first day I got them and I got blisters on my feet. They are very uncomfortable. 130.00 poof. Will be throwing them out

I wouldn't recommend for the price. They don't always work as hands free and I've had to go with no tie elastic laces to make them truly slip on. They run wide and large. They aren't as supportive as other walking, running or gym shoes I own. There are also more attractive supportive sneakers out there. If you want hands free, i recommend buying elastic no tie laces to replace cloth laces in sneakers and save yourself a lot of money.

no joke these things are so comfortable. I love them!!! I have 5 pair now

Seriously awesome. You literally so into these sneaks without using your hands at all. I also got a pair for my child... She loves them but they aren't holding up as well as other kids shoes (kids are so tough on shoes). A bit pricey but worth it
