Customer Reviews KIZIK New York Hands Free

Bought two pair for my dad who is a stylish 86 years old and he loves both the look and the comfort. Highly recommend!

My dad has had a couple surgeries to where he cannot bend down, and the kiziks give him the ease of just sliding his foot in. The steel allows him to just step INTO the shoe, and he doesn’t need assistance anymore! They look great, and he feels so much more independent!

Normally I don't look at shoes with less than a 5 Star Review average, but I noticed that people were deducting Stars for (IMO) petty reasons. My comments about Size and Width were for these reason: Yes, they run about a 'Whole' size smaller (they don't come in half sizes), thus, one should order the next size larger (which I did) and I suggest getting the Wide width, or else they might be too narrow. The Wide (W) is more like an E versus an EE. Mine fit perfectly since I ordered a Whole Size Larger and the Wide Width. NOTE: These are Slip-On shoes and Do Not Tie, although, they appear to have laces, however, these are Elastic Straps. In any case, I like the looks and ordered the Tan ones. This is the third pair and third brand that I have ordered in my search for this style of shoe. The next brand would have been Allen Edmonds, but these are great and cost a few bucks less. In any case, Zappos makes the search easier since they have a great free return policy. All I do is box them up, tape the box, print the return label, put the label on the box and take it down to the UPS store and drop it off at the counter with no standing in line. It's easy-peasy.

Bought these for my 85 year old father who has worn wingtips his whole life! He said that they are very comfy, the heel is a little tight, but that’s good because the shoe stays on!

I purchased these shoes for my husband and he LOVES them! They are his favorite shoes and the ones he reaches for everyday. He loves the slip-on heel design and shows them off to everyone. They were a great investment.

Worn just couple of times, rubbing top of foot and bug toes.

I normally wear a Men’s size 9D. I ordered a size 9M for the Kizik shoe, but it was far too tight and small. The phone consultant advised a 91/2 W, but that was out of stock, so I ordered a 10M. That size seems to work fine... seems like the Kizik sizes run small (and maybe tight).

Style was clunkier than I was expecting - definitely a sneaker and big one at that. Even if they did fit well I would have sent them back for that reason. I wear a size 12 in almost every shoe and with this one my big toe was right up against the end of the shoe. On a positive note, they do seem well made and slip on super easy - maybe I will try one of their other styles in the future.

Styling fine. Support adequate, but too narrow at toes. Uncomfortable enough that it would not have “ broken -in” over time.

I really really wanted to love this shoe but it's one of the most uncomfortable shoes I've purchased. It's really tight on the toes even though I bought a half-size up. It's also just not comfortable. Like walking on the ground. No support, no cushion. They look cool and slide on fine but that's it. Not worth it. They are going back.

This was my second pair of Kizik's. The first pair are perfect. This pair had a rough patch above the base of my left big toe and gave me a nasty blister after walking about a mile. Too bad because they look good.

order 13 size way to small, order 14 size, fit was OK, very uncomfortable, did not feel very good. returned for credit.

I absolutely love the style of this shoe, but there is no way their 12W is the same as any other shoe manufacture. I don't even think it was normal width. Very disappointed that such a promising shoe was so poorly executed.

First of all, I love the innovation of these shoes, both in terms of the flexible heel technology, and the laceless adjustment system. I also love the style and color, it's a very nice mix of casual and classy. Unfortunately, what I did not like was the extreme discomfort of actually wearing the shoes. The problem for me was that there is a slightly bulging seam on the inside of the top of the upper, which is directly above the tarsal bone that leads to my big toe. In other words, wearing the shoes was like having someone continuously pressing a drill bit into that bone (which is basically the highest point on one's foot, forward of the ankle). This suggests that the shoe is either way too tight in the vertical dimension (I'm a skinny guy with skinny feet, and even expanding these shoes to the maximum did not relieve the pressure on the top of my foot), or is just poorly designed in terms of where that seam is located. *Or*, I simply got a bad pair, but I can't return them to Zappos because I wore them for a weekend (went out of town on a road trip, and they were the only shoes I brought). If they can fix this very simple but deal-breaking flaw, then I will return as a customer.

Runs small. I ordered wide, which really isn't wide. It might be wider than their regular shoe, but it's not wide for people who regularly require a wide fit. My toes were cramped in the toe box, so I should have gone up by a half-size. Looks great, but it is torturous for my feet.

I liked my shoes enough to quickly buy a second pair. However the first started to squeak like others have complained about. Very unfortunate. Seems like a common problem.

left shoe arrived scratched and different quality leather.

I made the mistake of ordering this shoe a 1/2 size larger do to some other buyers saying it ran small?? My foot was slipping out of the shoe as it was too big. I am a size 9. I even tried adding a foam insert and it was still too big. SO I returned it! I like the style but feel the elastic where the shoe strings would be would be better IF it were adjustable.Every persons foot is different being thicker to thinner which does not effect size, length...I also felt 3 raise spots in the arch area which was annoying. the added insert hid that. I just dont feel shoes are made well these days, especially the insoles for comfort. This one is very light weight and feels cheap!
