"I love to wear these shoes all day long. They are super comfortable and easy to slip on and off. My only gripe is that I like to wear them without socks, but when I wear them for long periods they top digs into my foot causing slight blistering. Note that I also bought mine a size up as I’m a 13M and bought a 14."
"These Kane shoes are amazing. I’ve had surgery on my left foot and the Kanes were the only shoe that didn’t cause pain. The open back are amazing for the summer for the beach and walking the dogs. Basically replaced my slides and the shoes are my go to for almost everyday activities. I have the winter ones also they are great, wish they were same material as the summer just no holes. Other then that I have 6 pairs and getting more. Simply amazing pair of shoes for any occasion"
"I love my Kanes have like six pair, two pair of AC, 3 pair of Revive, and my OB’s now for a good relaxing pair of slides. I wear them after workouts (especially leg days), or when I’m just tired. They feel so good."
"Love our new Kanes. Whether its running errands or taking the dog for a walk around the neighbourhood they are comfortable, supportive and breathable in the warm climate we live in. The slip-on is easy but stays on my feet. I have high arches and they don't apply too much pressure to the top of the foot. Will purchase another pair."
"I bought a pair of the OG KANEs about two years and they finally wore out from daily use. Ended up seeing these when I went back online, and seemed like a no brainer. Love them! Great for walking the dogs or running errands. Going to still buy another pair of the original version for longer distances."
"Great for sports. hospital workers, teachers- anyone on their feet for long periods of time. My son wears 10. 5- ordered size 11 open back- too big- returned for size 10- perfect fit. Just not a fan of return policy- either credit or $10 return fee- WHAT???? Beware of ONWARD checkout fee- you can opt out. Overall, great shoe but unnecessary "hidden" costs. Great job with pricing- affordable shoe that doesn't deter customers. Plan to use my return credit for another pair- would've preferred full refund. Also - keep the box - you have to return in undamaged, original box. Definitely offers relief and support for all."
"Well I had about 23 pairs of the regular kanes , and I unfortunately have a bunion and hammer toe problem. Currently trying To sell all my original kanes, very sad, so I tried a size up in the open back and love them!! I already have 2 pairs, hoping to get more!!"
"I got the original pair back in 2025 summer for a summer camp. I loved them so much I asked my husband for the winter ones and they were so nice to walk the dog in in the winter. Def kept my feet warm even in the snow. Then I got another pair for the summer and then the slide. There so easy to throw one and great for any water activity on vacation."
"These are hands down some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. They're incredibly lightweight, have great cushioning, and are perfect for wearing after a long day on your feet. I bought them primarily as recovery shoes, and they've exceeded my expectations. They're easy to slip on, breathe well, and have quickly become my go-to footwear around the house, running errands, and after being on the boat. Highly recommend to anyone looking for comfort without sacrificing support."
"I absolutely love my new Kane slides! I run 3-6 miles a day on top of workouts and this recovery shoe has changed the game for me! I love them!"
