Early Days. . . . . . .
I suffered a plantar faciitis episode recently and started on the usual regimin of reduced activity (rest), anitinflammatories, ice as necessary and heat later on, not to mention stretching exercises including with prostretch device. My son-in-law recommended I try a "recovery" shoe: Kane.
So,I ordered a pair and tried them on. For the first few days I wore them for short periods and I wasn't sure about them. But, as my "recovery" regime moved along, I noticed that they were indeed a great asset toward healing of the plantar faciitis. They are NOT a magic bullet,but with proper treatment they can be a great adjunct.
I only gave 4 stars at this time,since I have yet to use them with a "normal" foot. I suspect,If given the opportunity,I would later change them to a 5 star rating.
Comfortable and supportive-wish they came in half sizes
The KANE Revive feels wonderfully comfortable and supportive. The textured soles gently massage my feet, the arch support feels very good, and the shoes seem to hug my feet securely.
The right shoe fit comfortably immediately, although it now feels slightly loose. The left shoe was snugger, rubbed the side of my foot at first, and was difficult enough to put on that I needed a shoehorn. After wearing the shoes around the house, however, the left one began to feel much better.
Overall, they feel great on my feet. I only wish they were available in half sizes, because that might have provided a more even fit for both feet. I’m hoping the right shoe won’t become too loose with continued wear.
Desperately want these to fit!
I love what Kane footwear can potentially offer and I desperately want to find a pair that properly fit. I wear a 10. 5 sneaker so (based on Kane's recommendation), I sized down to a 10 since they only come in whole sizes. I found my heel was slipping out the back quite a bit. So I returned the product and exchanged for a size 9. I knew that was going to be a gamble, and I lost. The 9's are too tight in the toe box. I'm expecting to exchange once more in hopes that the open heel model works for me. Otherwise, the purchasing, exchange, and shipping experience was excellent.
Good recovery show- wish they had half sizes
Bounce
I was expecting the cushioning to be even softer, but it was still quite good overall.
Style
Stands out compared to other recovery shoes in the market.
Shipping
It arrived pretty fast! Just a heads-up, it’s not double-boxed, so if it gets wet (rain) on the way and you don’t bring it inside right away, the original box might warp.
Sizing
The fit was a bit larger than I’d hoped. I’m in between sizes, but I’m not sure if size 10 would have worked for me since I have wide feet.
So far, so good.
I only dock a star because although they are light, they are kind of bulky. I’d also like to be able to wear them without socks - - but I cannot. I think they are too big and will rub my heel, but I am not sure a smaller size would fit with socks. I may try it next time.
That said - they feel good. I have achilles tendonitis and these provide comfort and my joints feel better. I also love that I can hose them down when dirty. Overall - I am happy with my purchase!
Great for flat feet
I bought Kanes because I work on my feet all day. I get pain in my heals, ankles, and the ball of my feet due to flat feet. My brother recommended Kanes so I gave them a shot. They have helped my feet pain a lot more than my custom orthotics and I get compliments all the time. The only thing I don’t like is they are whole sizes and if I go down a size I fear they will be too small for my feet.
Great shoe for neuropathy and plantar fascitis!
Unfortunately, I suffer from neuropathy due to side effects from cancer treatment. I've lost a lot of feeling in my feet and have plantar fascitis, so walking barefoot on hard surfaces is uncomfortable. That's where Kanes comes in!
I typically wear a shoe size 10. 5 wide, so I went with size 11. I only wear them inside the house.
The Revives are a little loose when wearing them barefoot but are very comfortable when wearing them with socks. They tend to "squeak" when I wear them without socks since the bottoms of my feet get sweaty. The pull tab is aesthetically cool, but it doesn't really help when I try to put on the shoe.
The Kanes have really improved my quality of life and I can walk around the house comfortably. I'm more confident going up and down the stairs since they provide great cushion and grip on hard surfaces, and I don't have to worry about them falling off like slides. Since I have neuropathy, I don't really feel the raised bumps on the insole, but it's not a big deal. They look cool and perform well.
The BEST shoe!
My fiance bought a pair for himself after trying several different shoes, soles, styles, etc. . and he has not had any foot pain since!
I trusted him and bought a pair for myself. I wore them ALL day to an amusement park and not once did my back ache 😳 I couldn’t believe it! It was also nice to simply remove my socks and go on a water ride without having to worry my feet will be wet until I take them off.
My 5 year old has 3 pair (he loves the colors) and is a runner. The soles are holding up very well.
Very easy to clean. I used soap and water and the dirt comes off like “easy peasy” is what my son says.
We are forever a Kane family and we found our ‘perfect’ shoe!
Comfy, Quirky, Awesome
These shoes are basically comfort with a personality! 😎 The cushioning feels ridiculously good, making them perfect for walking, running errands, or just kicking back. They’re lightweight, easy to slip on, and the roomy design keeps your feet feeling happy all day.
And let’s talk about the look—the white upper with that navy, red-speckled sole definitely stands out. They’re fun without trying too hard, and I’ve already gotten a few compliments.
Bottom line: Super comfortable, surprisingly stylish, and way more fun than your average pair of slip-ons. If your feet could give reviews, these would get 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Compliments on my shoes
I initially considered Kanes when I saw someone else wearing them and asked where they got them. After talking with them on how well they enjoyed wearing them, I purchased my 1st pair. I had very similar experience, receiving compliments, inquiries as also enjoyed the comfort of wearing them. I went ahead and purchased another pair...this time representing The Ohio State colors. Everytime I wear these, I get asked about them...even in Las Vegas with all the walking, I had no issues with my feet feeling sore at all. Better than tennis shoes in fact. Definitely, my new favorite shoes.
Unbelievable!
I knew about Kane for several months before I decided to try them out. I thought it was just another ad from an “influencer” if I’m being honest! But after an intense month of a walking challenge at work, I felt like my feet weren’t feeling my best and none of my shoes brought me relief! I decided to bite the bullet and I wish I had bought them sooner!! They are so comfortable, I don’t take them off! I wear them to work and don’t have any discomfort in my 8 hour nursing shift. I wear them home and wear them to the gym! Such a good purchase!!
Highly Recommend!
Some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had at such an affordable price for
Today’s market. Would recommend to anyone who spends time on their feet. I am a much larger former athlete trying to get back in shape and my weight can cause discomfort after training sessions or even spending a lot of time coaching on the sidelines. These have already been a game changer and will be a daily shoe for years to come. Already picking out the next few pairs to get in different color ways and models for year round use.
“Kane Has My Back!” literally
I just want to say a huge thank you to the Kane team! Your shoes have helped me through recovery from back surgery—not just once, but twice. They are incredibly comfortable, supportive, and waterproof, and I honestly love everything about them.
I really appreciate the quality and thought that goes into your products. Thank you for making something that has genuinely made a difference in my recovery. Keep producing great products—I’ll continue to be a huge fan of Kane!

Awesome Product
ABSOLITELY LOVE THESE SHOES!!! I am a medical professional and can finally feel like my feet can breathe! These shoes are fantastic!! The advertising is off the charts!! They know how to target the audience and focus on what truly matters.
Most sneaker companies can advertise their “running shoes, arches etc. ”
Kane advertises all day comfort and they are 100% correct! If I am wearing a shoe 8+ hours a day, I do want my feet to be able to breathe.
A++++ Kane!!
I purchased the Ohio State
I purchased the Ohio State Kanes to have for workout and walking. Also, wearing them for weekend fun and general activity. Love Them!! I've had them for a week and received so many compliments. They are super comfortable and can be worn with or without no shoe footies. Thank you for working with me as I originally ordered the wrong size. I upsized versus downsizing. For half sizes, customers need to downsize. Thanks again!
Great Shoes For Senior Citizens Too
I have worn Kanes (Both Revives and Open Backs) for six months and have fallen in love with your shoes. Which blows my mind because I am a Senior Citizen. This pair I gifted to a friend for her birthday. They were loved and you now have another loyal customer coming your way. My next purchase will be a set of AC Revives. I am anxious to see how they perform during our cold weather months.
