Hands-Free Shoes

Hands free shoes let you step in and go without bending down, tying laces, or using your hands at all. At Sole Provisions, the Hands Free Shoes collection is built around Kizik, the brand known for its hands free technology, with sneakers and slip in styles for women and men. It sits naturally beside our wider women's slip ons, men's slip ons, and walking shoes selections.

Whether you have a busy morning, a long travel day, or simply prefer an easier way to get dressed, a shoe you can step into makes life a little simpler. The sections below explain how hands free shoes work, what to look for, and how to choose a pair.

How Hands Free Shoes Work

Our collection page describes a flexible, stretchy heel or spring loaded collar that opens as you step in and then closes around your foot, so you do not need a hand to pull the shoe on. Because the heel is built to flex, you can slide in without bending down and without crushing the back of the shoe. Details vary by style, so check each product page for how each pair is built.

Who Hands Free Shoes Are For

Our page notes that hands free shoes are popular with older adults, busy parents, and travelers, and with anyone who wants a quicker way to get out the door. They can also be handy at airport security and at the front door. We are a shoe retailer, not a medical provider, so if you have a medical condition or mobility concern, check with a healthcare professional about the right footwear.

Features to Look For

Our page highlights a few features worth checking:

• A flexible heel that opens easily and closes securely

• A cushioned footbed for all day comfort

• A roomy toe box for a relaxed fit

• Lightweight materials

• A non slip outsole for stability when stepping in and out

Features vary by style, so compare product pages. If you want to add your own support, browse our shoe inserts, including Superfeet, and our orthopedic shoes.

Kizik Styles

The collection currently includes the Kizik Athens and Athens 2, the Lima, the London, the Sydney, and the Vegas 2, in a range of colors for women, men, and unisex fits. Athens is a sneaker that is popular for walking and travel, while styles such as the London and Vegas offer a different look. Many styles are on sale, and some sell out, so check availability. See also our women's sneakers and men's sneakers.

Kizik and Skechers Slip Ins

Skechers also offers a hands free line, called Slip ins, and both brands are available at Sole Provisions. Which is better depends on fit, style, and budget, so compare product pages and try a pair on if you can. Browse the Kizik and Skechers collections side by side.

Great for Travel and Everyday Use

Easy on, easy off shoes are a natural fit for travel. See our travel shoes for more, and pair your shoes with women's socks or men's socks for comfort.

Fit and Width

Try shoes on later in the day, when feet tend to be fullest, and wear the socks you plan to wear. Check that your heel stays put and your toes have room. Width and sizing details are not listed on the collection page, so check each product page, and see our wide width shoes if you need more room. For kids, browse our kids' shoes. For a personal fitting, visit one of our Sole Provisions locations, or read more in our educational hub.
