Favorite pair of shoes I've ever had. On my second pair. Below is a copy of the feedback I left Kizik via their website: Hey, I just wanted to give some positive feedback and ask that you never stop making the black-on-black Madrid shoe. I've just replaced my first pair after 2+ years or so wearing them every single day, and that's only because I wore the tread flat after hundreds of miles of walking - the uppers are still perfect. I'm actually keeping the old pair as house slippers, because they're still perfectly functional for most stuff that doesn't require tread. Points of praise: - They were wonderful while travelling in Japan, where shoes have to be removed often to enter most hotels and many restaurants, etc, and the ability to kick them off and step into them made that so easy. This is also true for airports where one has to take shoes off during security screening. - They're incredibly comfortable, whether walking 15+ in a single day on the streets of Chicago or hiking a mountain in Japan. -They're very lightweight, which is great when you're putting in miles a day - every gram counts. - I can machine wash them them by throwing them in the washer every couple of weeks and letting them air dry, and they've held up wonderfully to that with no noticeable wear. - They dry quickly as well once wet and are very breatheable. - I appreciate that the black-on-black with lack of large ugly logos makes them incredibly versatile. That discreetness is especially useful while traveling, when you might be tempted to pack another pair of dressier shoes in case you find yourself visiting an upscale restaurant or something. They blend in with any outfit. I've mentioned travel a few times above, and while I find them to be perfect everyday shoes, I think they're the perfect travel shoe for the reasons stated above - maybe you can use that in your marketing? In any case, I hope you appreciate the positive feedback. I implore you to never stop making these or change them. I'm an avid hiker and I've found 'the perfect hiking shoe' several times, but when it came time to replace them, the manufacturer apparently felt the need to change things for no good reason. You keep making these, and I'll keep buying them and recommending them to others. Read more

This is my 89 year old dad's favorite shoe. My dad can no longer wear any of his beautiful shoes because it is extremely difficult for him to bend over and tie his shoes. Well, my dad loves wearing these shoes. They're super easy to put on, comfortable, easy to clean, and nice looking. He has two pairs and plans to buy more! Read more

These are very comfortable. I normally wear a 7.5 W, and ordered an 8 because most of us are finding shoes very hard to fit these days. I usually send a majority of shoes I order on Amazon back, this time I was purchasing from a company I had already ordered from (not Amazon, but Kizik). I live in the Adirondack Mountains and discovered I received my Kiziks quicker ordering from the company directly. The whole airport experience with these sneakers is wonderful. Especially true for those of us with hip and knee issues -- easy on, easy off! This product is made in Utah and they are washable, my white pair came out of the washer, air dried and still fit perfectly! Best purchases I have made for footwear in at least a decade or more.

Excellent shoe. I like that you can re-tie it to make it tighter or looser. Some step-in’s the lace are fixed. Every comfortable. Read more
