I've bought several pairs of shoes from them and in general I've been satisfied. However, one pair, that I've ONLY worn in the house, showed lots of fraying at the lip. In my state there's an Implied... See more

Returns or exchanges are IMPOSSIBLE

Just received my shoes and they were way too big. Try to return them… what a joke. They put you through a litany of webpages and you must input the SAME damned information over and over. Once you make it to the page where they offer you a return label… guess what happens? Order number not found! It’s the SAME number in my emails… it’s the SAME email address. But… nope! Trying to return these shoes is a sham! My friend went through the same thing and when she finally got through to a customer service agent… it was past the allotted time frame. The shoes are brand new… too large… don’t fit… never been worn… but, sorry… too late… no exchanges either.
And here we are again. The shoes were delivered 3 days ago and they make it so difficult that you give up.
Just go with Sketchers or Nike for hands free shoes… trust me on this… I’m doing this return for an older friend of mine and I cannot deal with their Hunger Games. At least you can return/ exchange your order with another shoe store without an hour of navigating through their HAPPY RETURN APP!
2 pairs of BRAND NEW shoes and cannot return them. If you’re lucky enough to pick out the PERFECT FIT… you’ll be fine… otherwise… just keep ‘em because they make it impossible to manage a return unless you have 2 hours to throw away and get nothing in return. I’m going to put a claim in with my credit card company. I’d suggest you do the same.

Poor quality, started fraying less than a year of use.

Agreed with others that they do not last that long. Less than a year I had them. They were comfortable, not used for daily wear, started fraying at the heel. They also offered a meager 15% discount, which I replied was not worth the expense since they did not even last one year.

Customer service

Good afternoon, I have purchased 8pairs of kiziks under myself and my mother. I wanted to redeem the $90 on a pair of Suncrest and it will not work, I have contacted customer support, and again no help.Truly disappointing, I can even send photos of all my shoes.
Sincerely

The above is one of the emails I sent to Kizik, they had emailed me 4 emails stating I had $90 off my next order, however it would not give me the $90 off, after numerous emails back and fourth, they said they will not honour and I was not entitled to $90 off, then why send the emails? Anyway I have 5 pairs and purchased a pair for my husband daughter and mother. I love the shoes but customer service very frustrating. Due to this and principle of how I feel I will not order more.

I bought these shoes for my father who…

I bought these shoes for my father who is 80 years old and lives in a retirement home (for Christmas last year). He found them very comfortable and wore them a lot, but never wore outside as it was winter time.

I live 3000 miles away from my father, and I went to visit him in June. This was the condition of the shoes (note he has the heel part taped up because it fell apart) I was very surprised so I wrote the company asking for compensation. Their response to me was they would give me a 15 percent off a new pair and that this was considered normal wear and tear. If this is normal, wear and tear for an 80 year old in a retirement home, I would not want to see what they look like after one year on a teenager or a man that is using them outside.

It also surprises me that they think I would want to buy another pair using their discount which was very minimal.

Best ever for foot pain, disabilities & narrow heels.

With 2 different kinds of foot pain, I've spent $$$ on good shoes. Kiziks are the only ones I can wear all day! My disabled son loves mine, so I got him a pair -- it's tough to put a shoe on a foot with low muscle tone. He & I both have narrow heels, too. My friend ordered a pair that bothered her bunion, & Kiziks Customer Service was fantastic, working with her til she got a good fit. No clue about negative reviews I see re: returns, cushioning, or quality. They're top notch.

Overpriced & stains can't be cleaned

Overpriced, poor quality. Sizing not true to normal sizing. I ended up with a shoe that is too big and too wide. Lacks support. If they get dirty you must immediately spot clean otherwise the stain remains & nothing will clean it. I tried machine washing several times, tried various cleaners, the insole twists & the stain remained. DO NOT BUY!

DO NOT BUY STAY AWAY

DO NOT BUY STAY AWAY. Very poor customer service the shoes I bought for my husband hurt his toes very badly and they want to charge me £40 to return sub standard shoes. I wrote to them saying this was not acceptable and they are not responding. STAY AWAY very bad customer service and clearly they do not believe in their product if they penalise you for returning their sub standard shoes

Do not buy if you actually need a good shoe.

I wish I had read the Trustpilot reviews before ordering. I was led astray by the all-five star reviews on the Kizik website. Upon receiving my shoes, I found the fit was awful. Yes, you can slide your foot in, but these shoes have absolutely no support, and a cheap foam bottom with no tread. These look like they would fall apart in the span of a few months...if I didn't twist my ankle first. They're worse than slides. When I tried to submit a review on the Kiziks website, the form wouldn't work. Not only that, but upon closer viewing, even the negative reviews show five stars...so it looks like the product has 1000+ five star reviews when actually a number of those customers were unhappy or returned their shoes. Very sketchy. That's what I get for buying a product I heard about on Instagram I guess!

Don’t buy anything out of this company

Don’t buy anything out of this company. It is very poorly very cheap made shoes , and trust me they don’t want to take them back. It is ugliest, not true to the size shoes. They will never give you money back. very disappointed.

RIDICULOUS POLICY FOR RETURNS

I cannot believe that a company will not let you return or exchange their shoes if you walked outside?? WHAT? REALLY? How are you suppose to know how your fit is going to be if you only wear them IN THE HOUSE?? SUCH A RIDICULOUS POLICY! I could understand if they were messed up but that's not the case! SMH!

Sneakers not good for narrowish feet

My male feet are sz C or D(depending on the brand), in other words run a little narrow. I tried the Kizik sneakers for a week, but they remain floppy and uncomfortable. I tried tightening the laces, but the sneakers are still too wide for me at the widest part of the foot, and the slip-on feature works poorly after tightening the laces to try to get a fit (works OK with looser fit) .

Comfortable shoes

My shoes arrived quickly (sooner than expected!) and they provided order confirmation and the ability to track my delivery, which I wasn’t sure that they would do, so that was good. I’m really happy with the shoes, they’re very comfortable, they feel well made and you can slip in and out easily without damaging the heel, as I do with all my other shoes! I got Vegas in white and I’m able to wipe them clean.

Fellow Canadians beware

Fellow Canadians beware. The post shows US$129 but without warning when your about to pay your gonna pay CDN$246. I asked Kizik why the exorbitant exchange rate & they claimed shipping & taxes but their advert says No shipping costs.

Excellent

They’re the best slip on sneakers made. The only ones where you can adjust how tight they wear with laces.

Prauges are awesome fit.look,price.

Read a couple bad reviews after oderig the Gray prauges size 12 wide. It just goes to show you you can’t please everyone. I think some people have to find something wrong with anything. So my prauges got here yesterday and I love them quality is great the canvas is a little stiff but that’s a good thing cause the just slip on very easy they laces you can adjust then leave them alone. They might not be as comfortable as my slip on sketchers but are still comfy and fit perfect. Highly recommended!!!! I’ll be buying a pair of Athens next

The shoes are not comfortable

The shoes are not comfortable for me.
They do go on extremely easy which is handy.
I contacted the manufacturer via chat and they suggested I remove the insoles and put in some better ones.
I changed my review to three stars because the manufacturer made an exception and took the shoes back.

Fake website!

Ordered from the google recommended Australian kizik website which turned out to be fraudulent. Only received a fake Gucci hat from China instead in the mail. Do not order from the defenderoutlet website which it directs you to!
