Kizik is the hands-free footwear company founded in Alpine, Utah, built on the patented Cage and Inner Cage step-in technology that lets a wearer put on a shoe without bending down, tying, or using their hands. Kizik sells direct-to-consumer at kizik.com across men's, women's and kids' lines, and licenses its hands-free technology to other footwear brands. Kizik has no traditional developer program, but it operates a real, publicly reachable agent commerce surface: its Shopify storefront serves an agent instruction document at /agents.md and /llms.txt, a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp, and an unauthenticated MCP endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp exposing thirteen catalog, cart, checkout and order tools with full JSON Schema inputs. Customer identity is OpenID Connect, discoverable at /.well-known/openid-configuration.
