Kizik shoes put themselves on feet

No bending, sitting or hands required. Hands-free technology makes it easy for anyone to put on sneakers in seconds.

Anyone who has ever put on a pair of sneakers has experienced the many frustrations that come with wearing them. Laces must be loosened, you bend down, maybe even sit down, wiggle your foot in while pulling on the back, squash your fingers shoving your heel in, adjust the tongue and tie the laces. Finally, the shoe is on, and hopefully you haven’t tied it too loose or too tight. Kizik has eliminated the hassle of putting on shoes with hands-free footwear technology.

Now, anyone can put on shoes quickly and easily. The secret to the science of how Kizik footwear works is in the heel arc or cage. As you slide your foot into the shoe, the internal structure of the heel compresses and then, once your foot is in, it springs back into place, securing the shoe without you ever having to touch it. Kizik shoes aren’t just slipped on like a clog or a flip flop, the patented design ensures they are completely on. The hands-free footwear technology makes life easier for everyone; and for people who usually need assistance lacing up shoes because of disabilities, arthritis or other medical conditions, pregnancy, or aging, Kizik is a game-changer.

“We stand on the intersection of a changing industry, changing consumer trends and a better way to make and put on shoes,” said Kizik CEO Monte Deere. “Rather than find ‘a way’ or ‘the way’ to make hands-free shoes, we have continued our founder’s quest to find every way to simplify the way people put on their shoes. Our relentless culture of innovation has driven us to introduce dozens of groundbreaking hands-free technologies. And we will never tire of seeing our customers experience the life-changing moment when they put on their first pair of Kiziks.”
