Shoes were wide enough but way too short although 7.5 is my normal size. I've experienced this too short issue with another pair, different style, of Kiziks that I ordered directly from their website. Even if these had fit properly I would have returned because of the very cheap mesh/knit material. I imagine it wouldn't be too long before toes came through. I won't be ordering any shoes from Kizik again--overpriced and poorly made.

For everyday wear I do perfectly well with Birkenstock but I need a pair of sneaker style shoes .

The footbed slopes towards the front and thus it made my back hurt because it there off my body alignment.

Fits perfectly; provides a wide toe cage, as well as excellent arch support, both of which I need. Don’t love the plastic decoration at the back of the shoe though, but good fit is what matters most to me.

This is my second pair of the Athens 2. I love them. It's hard to find interesting colors in the wide size so I was delighted to see that Zappos has these.

Fit was perfect. Truly is a slip-on shoe and still looks like an athletic shoe. Fit is comfortable and the support is great. Also, this shoe is not heavy, but feels lightweight while still giving good support.

I loved the color and the fit was good even though they were a bit small. My toe touched the end. Usually an 11 tennis shoe fits. I didn't like the external plastic structure - it made the shoes look large and strange.

Great color, can do without the orange contrast, though.
Forgot they take a little wearing in.

I ordered my usual size in sneakers: 9.5 medium width. The toe box was too small for me.

Love this blue color! Love my Kiziks. But this Athens 2 style seems shorter than regular size 8 my regular Athens are. Returning for half size larger

While these shoes look cute and are true to their slip in-slip off nature, I hesitate to recommend these for people wanting a comfortable shoe. They feel wide and loose. I keep having to tighten the laces, but then the shoes start to hurt. The heel is very stiff and so I feel as though my toes are being pushed forward despite there being enough space in the shoe. I’ll stick with my Skechers slip ins.

I originally ordered a size 9 based on reviews but they were very short in length. I exchanged for a 9.5 and they feel nearly as short! I love the style & the color so I’m exchanging for a half size up again.

Size felt 1/2 size smaller than I've been used to w previous Kizik Athena (3 older pairs); with the rise in price and no real noticeable improvements, doesn't seem worth it to me
