As described aptly by the American Podiatric Medical Association,Regular foot care can make sure your feet are up to the task.” No matter our age and stage, taking proper care of our feet is critical. After all, they’re the very base on which we rely to hold up the rest of our bodies. If we neglect or mistreat our feet, we may face present day, as well as future, consequences.
But all is not lost! Keeping foot health in tip top shape can sometimes be as simple as selecting the proper footwear—and committing to wearing it. Choosing the best recovery shoes can be a big part of your daily foot restoration. And fortunately, these shoes can be worn just as much for a post-workout recovery as they can for everyday wear.
At the end of the day, there are plenty of different active recovery shoes on the market—sandals, slip-ons, sneakers, and more. In a sea of options, how do you narrow down and choose from the many recovery shoes out there?
We'll answer some questions and help you along your recovery discovery.
Why should I wear recovery shoes?
For the sake of comfort

Let’s dive into a few other important areas to consider when it comes to recovery footwear.
Will my active recovery shoes last?
Durability is essential when it comes to your recovery shoe of choice. Your goal is to get a reliable amount of wear out of them, all the while providing continuous support and comfort. The Kane Revive is made from our trademarked, ultra-durable EVA RestoreFoam, creating a sustainable option for a long-lasting, full-coverage recovery shoe. But not all recovery footwear is built identically.
Recovery flip flops and recovery slides tend not to have the same kind of longevity as a recovery shoe, given their comparatively minimal construction. Though certain slip ons may have a tougher quality to them, having less overall material will ultimately create more wear-and-tear over time. (When visualizing a flip flop or sandal of any kind, durability isn’t typically the first word that comes to mind.)
At the end of the day, durability of a shoe comes down to two key factors: materials and construction. The combined engineering can create the perfect recovery shoe you’ve been waiting for—and ours just so happens to fit the bill.
Can I walk for long periods in my active recovery shoes?
Who knew walking could be this comfortable? Our Kane Revive active recovery shoe provides a backing-inclusive, closed-toe coverage, allowing for a fully reliable walking experience—both indoors and outside.An alternative shoe without backing or toe protection means there’s always the possibility of a slipping or flying off incident - especially if you’re in a hurry.
While the Hoka Ora Recovery Slide is a solid option in the realm of slides and slip-ons, you simply won’t have the same foot control, nor all around foot protection, as a recovery shoe. The last thing you want is your shoe to get caught between doors, lost on a stair, or end up airborne onto your neighbor's lawn.
Too much extra foot exposure can at times be inconvenient and hinder your recovery journey. Our Kane Revive shoe delivers all the breathability you need and the comfort you deserve for your day ahead—while remaining reliably on your feet. Our recovery shoe has superior foot control and surrounding protection to that of any sandal or slide, while still encouraging airflow through its many perforations.
The Kane Revive provides total support from heel to toe. Allow our athletic shoe to improve your stamina and balance while you take as long of a walk as you’d like, any day of the week. No need for interruptions—this shoe isn’t going anywhere. In our recovery shoe, you can finally hit the ground walking, and with a perk in your step.
Can I wear recovery shoes all day?
As a versatile shoe, the Kane Revive provides a high ease of transition from day to night. They’re extremely simple to pair with any sock of your choosing, should your environment or temperature change throughout your day. Plus, they go well with various outfits, styling nicely with all types of pants, shorts, skirts and dresses.
As for those sweltering summer days? Our active recovery shoe is super breathable, while still giving your foot that necessary, all over coverage. Our many air holes maximize air circulation, providing a hybrid-like shoe effect. Who says your foot can’t be protected while still getting ventilation? Our shoe delivers the utmost freshness, keeping any hot, swollen or uncomfortable feet cool as can be.
Although some of the best recovery sandals out there, like Oofos Recovery Sandals, can provide certain recovery benefits, wearing them all day long could pose a challenge. The open toe nature of a recovery sandal is limiting in ways, as you need to be on your guard to protect your toes at times—and even be mindful of dress codes in certain establishments. If your hope was to keep your recovery footwear on all day, that may not be an option everywhere in sandals, given the extra foot display.
Sneakers, sandals, or slides? How to choose the best recovery footwear
