A spring in your step

HandsFree Labs®️ technology: Cage®

Hasta la vista, heel-crushing! No wiggling, no bending down, and no re-tying, either. Once you step in and the heel springs back, you’ll never want to put on any other shoe again—seriously. Style + convenience? Yes, please!

Buh-bye, sweaty feet

4-way stretch knit

The top of your foot deserves comfort too. Breathable knit fabric provides just the right amount of air flow to keep your feet comfy and cool all day long. Remember sticking your feet out the car window as a kid? It’s kinda like that.

Ultra cushy & oh, so comfy

Rabbit Foam® outsole

Our proprietary (and ridiculously comfy) Rabbit Foam® outsoles are the perfect blend of bounce-back and durability so you can be on your feet all day long. What does it feel like? Imagine a thousand angels massaging your feet.

Get a grip

Rubber heel/toe traction

This shoe is all grip and no slip. Our built-in rubber traction pods cover the entire toe and heel areas of the shoe. Perfect for going from lounging around the house to deftly avoiding conversations with the in-laws. Hey rubber, meet road.

Ok except for wrong width

The color and style were perfect. However I ordered Extra Wide EEE and the width wasnt correct. Was to be used on vacation and did not discover until I put them on.

Outstanding

My overall experience is OUTSTANDING! The materials used in these shoes feel flexible, durable, and comfortable. They’re easy to slip in and out of them and they feel lightweight for me to walk.

These are great!

I like these more than expected. Easy to put on and laces can be tightened. I even played some pickleball in them to see if they were ok for sideways motion and they are. Mostly they are great around the house and for errands to feel secure and to take on and off easily.

Sign up and never miss a step.
