Kizik Shoes Review: Are They Comfortable?
Have you gurls heard of Kizik shoes? From slip-on ease to all-day support, we’re putting these sneakers to the test! Are they as comfortable as they look? Keep reading to find out my honest Kizik shoes review!
What are Kiziks?
Kizik shoes are slip-on sneakers that have a totally hands-free design. This means you can slip them on and off quickly without any pulling or tugging! Imagine this: you’re running late trying to get to your appointment. Instead of the usual shoe shuffle or sitting down to lace up your tennis shoes, you just slide your foot in, give a little push, and voila – they magically snap into place.
These shoes are a game-changer for folks with arthritis, Parkinson’s, or chronic pain! They would even be great for any pregnant gals you know. Their hands-free design means no bending over or struggling with closures or buckles, allowing them to maintain or reclaim their independence for a common daily task.
Where to Buy Kizik Shoes?
You can find Kizik shoes in multiple places, like their website and at department stores like Nordstrom. My favorite place to shop for Kiziks is Amazon, because who can beat that speedy shipping?!?
Kizik Shoes Review
Kizik Irvine
The Irvine style is the Kizik shoe I was the most excited for! I love pairing white sneakers with everything from dresses to denim shorts. They look sleek and chic without any obvious branding or designs, which is great for getting that non-sporty casual look.
Kizik shoes are available in wide and regular sizes 6-13 for women, as well as in regular and wide sizes 4.5-15 for men. All the styles have a roomy toe box, so they would be great for my gurls (or guys) that suffer from bunions, and a removable, washable insole.
Kizik Milan
Next up, we have the Milan. These look like a retro sneaker to me, and I love that! I normally wear a size 9, but the Milans run small, so Kizik recommends sizing up 1/2 size when ordering. I grabbed them in a 9.5, and they fit like a glove.
I love this neutral gray shade, “Mist,” because it goes with everything. You can also grab them in a sleek black on black shade, which would be great for anyone who needs to wear all black shoes to work. These shoes have a little more traction than the Irvine sneakers since they have a sawtooth sole, which will keep you from slipping or falling on wet sidewalks or slippery floors.
Kizik Madrid
The next shoe I tried was the Madrid! These were super comfy and stretchy, and the breathable Eco-Knit upper kept things cool and airy. They felt very lightweight but still supportive. Think of how quickly you could slip these back on going through airport security. I don’t know about you gurls, but scrambling to get my shoes back on quickly in the airport was something I always hated. LOL!
The Madrids come in 8 different colors, but I thought the black would be the most versatile. They would look super cute with joggers and a graphic tee, or workout pants and a workout top.
Kizik Athens
The Athens sneakers were probably the comfiest pair of Kizik shoes that I tried on! Just like all of the others, my foot just slipped right on in there without any bending over. This one uses “Cage” technology which is a thin piece of plastic lattice on the back to help the heel spring back up. I tried them in this pretty blue called “Deep Sea”, but they also come in gray, white, black, and pale pink.
I like that the insole is removable, so you can wash them if they get stinky. It’s also nice that they come out so that you can replace them with another insole for those of you with foot issues. This allows you to use your own custom orthotic or specialized insole for things like high arches or plantar fasciitis.
Kizik Vegas
I love a leather sneaker that can do it all! This one from Kizik is called the Vegas. Normally leather sneakers can take a while to break in, but this one takes no time at all. The chestnut color is lighter in person than they show on the website and runs true to size. The best part is that this particular pair is unisex. I have a feeling Joe would like them, too!
Pros and Cons: My Honest Kizik Shoes Review
First off, let’s cover the pros of Kiziks! I will say I loved the convenience factor I was a little doubtful that they would work at first, but they totally did. Slipping them on without having to bend over and tug or pull was soooo nice, and perfect for those busy mornings when you’re running out the door.
They’re also super comfortable, which is one of the first things I look for in a shoe at my age! I really like that they come in both regular and wide sizes for both men and women, because it’s tough to find wide shoes. I also thought they had a lot of great features for foot health like a wide toe box, removable insole, and breathable fabric.
I think they’re very cute, with lots of colors and styles to choose from, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort. And let’s not forget about versatility – whether you’re running errands, hitting the gym, or spending the day traveling, these shoes can handle it all.
As for the cons, well, there aren’t many! Kiziks are a little pricer than some other shoes, with prices ranging from $100-150. Kiziks only offers sneakers at the moment, so if you’re looking for a dressier shoe, this is not the brand for you. Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons when it comes to Kizik Shoes, making them a solid choice for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and style all rolled into one!

I really like some of these shoes and so curious to try them. The thought of just slipping them on is quite intriguing.
Tania, really enjoyed this post. I want to order a pair and this review helped. I see they have a new color( maple sugar) for the canvas Irvine. I hope Amazon starts to carry them. I love the white, but I would never be able to keep them clean.
I enjoyed your post about your favorite things but was unable to leave a comment there. System gave pop up regarding duplicate comments. (?) Not sure why . My favorite healthy snack are seedless grapes. 🙂
Cathy, your comment was there, it just hadn’t been approved yet. All comments go to moderation since I get a lot of SPAM. 🙄
These shoes would be great too for young moms that have to carry a car seat or young child.
Ads for Kizik sneakers have popped up when I am searching for other shoes online, but I never really thought much about them until I read your post. They all look super cute on you! I’ve had much success with items I have purchased after seeing them on your blog, so I just might have to give Kiziks a try!
Good luck. I hope they work for you.
Can people with a narrow foot wear this brand? Very cute!
Pam, I’m not sure it would work for a narrow foot. You might could tighten the laces, but I’m not sure it would be tight enough.
Great review! Wasn’t sure if they were as good as advertised. Now I know they’re great!😊
Love the styles of the Kiziks, but I’m wondering if they have any arch support that you can feel. I can’t wear a shoe with a flat insole.
Never heard of this brand before but the shoes are cute.
These are all really cute!
