# Kizik Shoe Is The Slip On Lace Up For Guys Who Want Comfort And Style *By James Hills — Updated September 2022* I'll share a little secret - I hate lacing up my shoes and I generally favor comfort and convenience over stability. Most shoes frankly aren't designed for this and all of my sneakers have broken heels. Some shoes work better for improvised slip-ons than others and some like this pair from Kizik is actually designed to work exactly the way I want. Simply put, while most shoes have a firm heel area that over time will fold, soften, and break as you jam your foot into it ... Kizik shoes have support that will spring back up once your foot is comfortably inserted. Initially I was thinking this might just be a gimmick or that the actual shoe might be trash. That is far from the truth here though. These are great shoes and I just wore them doing more than 6,000 steps walking around Seattle yesterday and yet I had no blisters, no sore feet, no arch issues, and perhaps most important ... they were easy to slip off at the end of the day so I can sit on the couch and watch some TV while relaxing with some local Seattle craft beer. ### Quirk Hotel: The Perfect Dog-Friendly Stay for a Guys' Trip in Richmond, Virginia Quirk Richmond is a dog friendly hotel.

While this isn't really a big deal for me, for some guys that could be an issue. Many of their colors do seem more oriented towards gender neutral and I know that my wife as well as a few female blogger friends all found the color schemes on the men's shoes (as well as women's) very appealing. The important thing here though is these shoes are great for traveling since they are light, easy to slip on and off, and for guys like me with big feet - they come in larger sizes as well as wide. Plus, honestly they look great too.  ## Man Gear Pick of the Month September's Pick Amazon (affiliate) ### Kenyon City Grill Portable Stainless Steel Electric Grill Why we picked it: a grill you can actually carry to the campsite, the tailgate or the cabin without borrowing a truck.
