A spring in your step

HandsFree Labs®️ technology: Cage®

Hasta la vista, heel-crushing! No wiggling, no bending down, and no re-tying, either. Once you step in and the heel springs back, you’ll never want to put on any other shoe again—seriously. Style + convenience? Yes, please!

Buh-bye, sweaty feet

4-way stretch knit

The top of your foot deserves comfort too. Breathable knit fabric provides just the right amount of air flow to keep your feet comfy and cool all day long. Remember sticking your feet out the car window as a kid? It’s kinda like that.

Ultra cushy & oh, so comfy

Rabbit Foam® outsole

Our proprietary (and ridiculously comfy) Rabbit Foam® outsoles are the perfect blend of bounce-back and durability so you can be on your feet all day long. What does it feel like? Imagine a thousand angels massaging your feet.

Get a grip

Rubber heel/toe traction

This shoe is all grip and no slip. Our built-in rubber traction pods cover the entire toe and heel areas of the shoe. Perfect for going from lounging around the house to deftly avoiding conversations with the in-laws. Hey rubber, meet road.

Please don't get rid of the original Athens!!!

These are my favorite shoes for walking. I bought a pair a few years ago and forgot about them and have been in search for the perfect shoe. I tried them on after no luck with other brands and fell in love!!! I have basically ordered these in every color! I also ordered the Athens 2 but did not like that style unfortunately. Please keep the original!!!! They are WAY more comfortable and so much cuter the Athens 2 remind me of something an old person would wear.

My favorite shoe

I have had the Athens Bahama for well over a year and absolutely love how it fits so comfortably. I’m spoiled now as these are my go to shoes so when I have to spot clean them and set them on the deck to dry it means I must go to my old traditional athletic shoes. I live the Bahama colors and have had many compliments since I bought them. I wear a 7.5 and they fit perfectly.

Why are you phasing out EE

Love the ease of these shoes have bought a couple pair of Athena….WHY ARE YOU PHASING OUT EE. I don’t like the shoes with the flat sole they are not comfortable for me. As I have wide flat feet. You came out with Athena 2 but only in a D. Not EE and no CUTE colors anymore in Athena so definately phasing this shoe out. I guess I will have to look for other shoes again, WHY?
