Lightweight. Durable. Stylish. Minimalist. Eco-friendly. Affordable. kigo footwear is designed with a list of seemingly disparate qualities that together establish a new ideal in shoes. This is how we define ....innovation.

 

Studies show that whole body health benefits come from going barefoot or wearing minimalist shoes. Allowing the foot to move naturally strengthens the muscles in the foot, promotes better posture, and creates a more effortless stride, whether running or walking.

For kigo footwear, innovation means taking on the difficult task of combining design elements and textiles to craft a shoe that is lightweight, flexible and breathable, while also being durable and protective.

While it is important to engineer a shoe that meets these criteria, it’s not enough to stop there. Responsibility is crucial. kigo shoes and packaging are comprised of eco-friendly, post-consumer and biodegradable elements – so the shoes are as good for the Earth as the body.

For a breakout of the composition of a kigo shoe, see the Composition and Care page.

From the lightweight shoe materials to the packaging they come in, Kigos are made from eco-friendly materials. And because of a unique fold-close design, kigo shoes stow easily in their portable pouch, making it a cinch to toss them in your purse, your gym bag, or your already overly-stuffed suitcase. Now there’s no reason to skip your workout on the road. (Sara Snow)
