Travelers Love This Comfy Shoe Brand — and It Just Released 5 New Slip-on Styles for Under $150 (2024)

Slip-on shoes make traveling so much easier. I’ve previously raved about my Kizik sneakers, which I’ve worn everywhere from the TSA line at my local airport to the streets of Cannes, France on a European Disney cruise. They’re incredibly comfortable and just as supportive as my other athletic shoes, but they slide easily on and off without needing to tie them. (An extra plus if you’re traveling without Precheck or Clear.)

After discovering how much I adore this brand, I quickly bought pairs for my husband and our two teens. And the slip-on sneakers don’t just make traveling easier: We wear them running errands around town, to school, and on nightly walks with our dogs. The simplicity of stepping into a comfortable shoe and walking right out the door is a surprising time-saver, and the stylish designs pair well with jeans and athleisure alike.

Recently, Kizik has been hard at work releasing lots of new styles. From sleek, retro sneakers to hands-free high tops, these new product launches take the brand’s slip-on shoes to the next level.

Kizik Women’s Wasatch

Kizik takes its classic style a step further with the Wasatch, an even sturdier shoe that’s perfect for hiking and other outdoor adventures. Still a slip-on, the shoe has a reinforced upper and lug soles to give it some extra power. And, it’s available in many great colors, from sand to tumbleweed green.

The shoes are “comfortable and look great,” one shopper shared. Another reviewer added, “They are extremely comfortable and have been from the very first time I slipped them on.”

Kizik Women’s Mars Roamer

This new Kizik style reminds me of a fall puffer vest thanks to its cool quilted upper. The shoe features the brand’s signature slip-on style with a space-aged twist. A padded back protects your heel, and a handy pull tab on the front helps you put them on easily.

Available in colors like moon dust gray and ultraviolet purple, the Mars Roamers are “easy to get on and off with or without socks,” said one shopper, while another noted that the shoe is “so convenient for travel” with its slip-on style.

Kizik Women’s Irvine Stretch Knit

Previously available solely in stretchy canvas, the Kizik Irvine now comes in two colors made from a stretch knit material. Available in taupe or black, the stretch knit version of the Irvine is made of Kizik’s best-selling fabric and is more breathable than its canvas counterpart.

A reviewer who plans to buy a second pair of the Irvines said the shoe is “easy and quick to order and so easy to slip on and go.” But hurry: The stretch knit Irvines are available for a limited time only.

Kizik Women’s Milan

Kizik’s first retro-style tennis shoe, the Milan, slips on easily without tying and is made of an old-school nylon material with striped accents. The style is sleek enough to pair with many winter looks, from a sweater dress to jeans and a button-down shirt. Note that the kicks have a narrow fit, so the brand recommends ordering a half-size up if you’re in between sizes.

One Milan wearer shared how much of an impact the style has had on their day-to-day life. “With hip and knee issues and being in my mid-80s, step-in shoes are such a help,” they said.

Kizik Men’s Milan

The new Milan style isn’t just for women. Kizik makes the shoe in a men’s style, too, which comes in colors ranging from muted grays and whites to more vibrant blues and reds.

One owner called these sneakers “super comfortable right out of the box,” adding that “the padding and slight lift in the heel make the shoes comfortable for walking as well as everyday wear.”

Kizik Men’s Suncrest

Kizik’s first high-top sneaker, the Suncrest comes in colors like cinder brown and graphite. The hands-free high-top is still easy to step right into, and it’s durable enough to withstand outdoor activities like hiking or long walks through a city. One verified buyer even declared these the “most comfortable shoes I own.”

Another shopper called the Suncrest shoe a “game-changer,” sharing, “I was surprised at how easy these high tops are to get into, and love how they look and more importantly, feel, on my feet”.

Kizik Men’s Wasatch

Like the Milan, the Wasatch (and most Kizik styles) is also available in men’s sizing. With color options like tidepool blue and sand, there are options for every wardrobe. “They are extremely comfortable and have been from the very first time I slipped them on,” one reviewer wrote. “I highly recommend them.”
