Kizik, the American hands-free shoe brand distributed in Japan by Marubeni Consumer Link, is opening a limited-time pop-up store at Daimaru Sapporo from April 8 to April 21, 2026. Located on the 4th floor Women's Shoes department, this marks the brand's first full-scale expansion into the Hokkaido region, bringing a wide lineup of men's and women's footwear — from signature bestsellers to new spring/summer 2026 arrivals.
About Kizik — The Brand Behind the Hands-Free Shoe
Founded in Lindon, Utah, Kizik is the world's first brand dedicated exclusively to hands-free footwear. The defining feature is a patented spring-back heel structure that instantly returns to shape the moment a foot is inserted — no bending down, no hands required — while still offering a secure, slip-resistant fit. This sets it apart from conventional slip-on shoes and is protected by more than 200 hands-free technology patents held or pending by the company.
Beyond functionality, the brand puts equal emphasis on design, offering styles ranging from casual sneakers and canvas shoes to refined leather-accented models and lightweight winter boots. Around 80% of customers who try on a pair end up purchasing them*, and cumulative US sales over the past three years have surpassed 3 million pairs*. Nike invested in the company in 2019, two years after launch, recognizing it as a pioneering force in the hands-free footwear market.
