I’d like to introduce you to my newest traveling buddies. They’re small and clean, they don’t stink or nag, and they’re, well…. hot!
Meet my Kigos!
From the lightweight shoe materials to the packaging they come in, Kigos are made from eco-friendly materials (see more below). 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.
The Shel Kigos make the perfect walking, touring and active shoe because they’re dry, cushioned and slip-free. And the Star Kigos are designed for women who value style as much as comfort. Slip these on in place of heels for long jaunts across town or for a quick ride on the stationary bike.
If you’re anything like me you want to hear more about the unique eco-friendly materials. Here you go:
The uppers, cements, insole and even stain resistance treatment represent significant advances in eco materials that make the shoes cushy, sleek, lightweight, and planet friendly.
