+description: "Kizik brings its hands-free, no-bend step-in mechanism to a genuine trail runner, with a rocker outsole and dual-directional lugs for real dirt."

+Kizik's hands-free step-in system — HandsFree Labs' Internal Flex Arc, hidden in the heel — finally reaches a real trail shoe: step in without bending down or touching a lace, and a padded heel pocket locks you in once you're moving. A rocker outsole with dual-directional lugs handles loose dirt and rock, cushioned by a VivaFoam midsole. $150. The accessibility angle — no hands, no bending — matters as much on a trailhead as it does at the front door.
