Using these KIZIK Athens sneakers is a breeze. Simply step into them, and the HandsFree Labs® Technology will make sure the heel back springs into place, so you don't have to bend over. You can wear them for various activities, like walking around the house, going on a hike, or just for work on casual Fridays. When it comes to maintenance, you can easily remove the insoles and wash them to keep your shoes fresh. The breathable knit upper can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat or harsh chemicals. And if you notice the rubber traction pods wearing out, it might be time to think about getting a new pair.
