Kizik Women's Madrid Slip On Sneakers

The media could not be loaded. Prior to having a total hip replacement if my left hip, I was shopping for a pair of sneakers that I could put on by myself without bending over and from a standing or sitting position. KIZIKS ARE EXACTLY THE SHOE I WAS LOOKING FOR. The shoelaces are adjustable prior to putting on for a tighter fit. I use my cane to remove each shoe very easily — from a standing or sitting position. These Kiziks are also comfortable and supportive. Better than barefoot for walking after surgery even if you’re not walking very far or very often. I am going to buy another pair for just indoors. Excellent quality.Also, a big plus for me is they add almost 2 inches to my height.I wear an 8 medium in an ASICS running shoe and purchased these Kizik in women’s size 8. They fit very well.Eager to see if they are as supportive for walking longer distances on all terrains.

I got these with very little expectations so I wouldn’t be disappointed. I figured it was all hype. After 2 months of use almost daily I loved them! I got this first pair as a gift, so I ordered a second pair (Unfortunately they got stolen off my porch before I could wear them). They slip on without having to use your hands at all, and fit just snug enough. My low cut socks don’t slide down at all when taking the shoes off and they stay put while wearing. They are incredibly comfortable and have worn them for 12+ hours at a time without my feet getting sore! They also don’t seem to be getting looser at all yet which I consider a positive. I have a newborn and these have been a life saver and time saver. I definitely recommend to anyone pregnant as well, especially those who can no longer see or reach their feet easily. The soles clean easily with a magic eraser and have been fairly easy to keep clean overall. They are not waterproof whatsoever, and I feel like they would be easily washed in the washer but have not tried so far. Would recommend, will buy again! I’m a bargain shopper, and this is the most I will ever justify spending on clothes, but they are 100% worth it.

Really like these sneakers as they are very nice and lightweightPretty coral pink colorEasy on off systemVery comfortable but size up half a size as they run a bit small

These are very nice, very comfortable, and easy to slip on and off. Size is true to what I buy for myself which is 5-1/2 to 6. These are 6 and fit fine. Con: the color is not pretty at all. The sole is an off-peach/pink and the shoe is a grayish pink. They don't even match. even the shoestrings are different in shade. I love pink and these are in no way, shape, or hint the color pink. They were a gift from my son because he knows I love pink and I am returning them, sadly, because of the horrible color. Maybe another color would be better, but I would recommend staying away from this color.

Comfortable. Held up great on long walks through Boston.

So I contact Kizik politely, to explain my situation: Love their Madrid Eco Knit, which I’ve been wearing for several years (have bought several pairs by now). Love it so much that I bought a pair to keep in reserve.When I took it out to wear, I discovered that the construction of the shoe had been changed. (The most obvious change was the enlargement of the outsole, which now looked somewhat bloated and clown-like—I did not include this in my message.)My big toes hurt when I wear the shoes now, no matter how gradually I try to break them in. “Do you have any suggestions, please?” I ask. I thought maybe that stretching them out in a certain way might help.I get a response from someone with the name Maricel, who first asks for my (most recent) order number, which I promptly provide.Maricel then informs me that I am out of luck. Maricel contacted the warranty department, which responded by saying that the shoes don’t qualify for a return. The email concludes with the happy message, “The best is always around the bend.”I hadn’t asked to return the shoes. I had asked for guidance as to what someone in my situation might do. This was not a question for the warranty department.I’ve tried stretching out the shoes with some heavy wooden shoe trees but so far, no luck. Looks like I wasted $100 on shoes that I won’t be able to wear.I remember how wonderful customer service at Kizik was in years gone by. Too bad that this seems to have changed.

I did not like these at all. There is no support. Around the ankle area felt like it got way too big as I walked the shoe was stretchy. I returned.
