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.
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.
Not as expected
These are replacing a worn pair of shoes similar to Crocs. I bought into the idea of the sugar cane. . .
I was expecting it to be softer, more malleable.
I swear a 10. 5 and these fit my foot sole perfect but the part of the shoe around the top of the foot is a close. . . i worry about rubbing. This material doesn't seem to give soooo. . .
I was hoping to use these as walking shoes .

Overhyped and brick-like
Honest feedback, they served a great purpose as a shoe I can wear barefoot after sporting events, running, and biking. However, they feel like bricks, hardly any cushion and honestly my running shoes are more comfy after a long run. A bit disappointed after reading reviews but these are a pretty overhyped in my opinion, there are much more pleasant recovery shoes out there.
Great shoes
I love these shoes. I have 2 pair. The size 11 were a bit tight on one foot. The 12 were big on both feet. I typically wear an 11 1/2. So sizing if you are in between would be based on your preference of a little tight or a bit loose. Both have helped me feel better walking. I have an arthritic hip and i walk with significantly less discomfort.
No complaints. . . at all!
I left a similar review for my OB's, but I think it's just as important here. . .
I like to preface this by saying that Kanes, in general, came to me at a very important time. I’ve dealt with countless lower-body issues and injuries over the years, including ankle sprains, problems with the balls of my feet, plantar fasciitis, broken bones in my feet and legs, and, most recently, a toe sprain.
Being very active into my 40s, my body simply has more demands now and doesn’t bounce back as quickly as I’d like. Kanes offer something that’s extremely functional and supportive—and the fact that they actually look good is honestly a bonus.
I wear these everywhere. With socks. . . without socks, really anywhere I would wear a pair of sneakers/Berks. My feet and legs aren’t nearly as tired at the end of the day, and I’ve noticed fewer of those everyday aches and pains—something I think just about anyone my age would gladly take. Not to mention I get a lot of looks and compliments (even from the sales associates a my local running shop!).
If you haven’t tried these, or any of the other Kane styles (I’m up to four pairs now), you really should. They may not work for everyone, but if they work for you the way they’ve worked for me, you won’t regret it.
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.
Revived!
I don't usually rave about shoes, but the **Kane Revive** absolutely deserves it.
From the moment I slipped them on, I understood the hype. They're ridiculously comfortable, lightweight, and somehow provide support without feeling bulky. Whether I'm on my feet all day at work, running errands, or just giving my feet a break after a long day, these have become my go-to.
If you're looking for a recovery shoe that actually feels like it's helping your feet instead of just looking trendy, the Kane Revive is worth every penny.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend.
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!!
Comically crave worthy & impressive
I beat the hell out of my feet, so I figured "recovery shoes" were just influencer bait. You know, the same tier of nonsense as a kid with a rented supercar explaining wealth creation between TikToks.
An elite athlete friend tossed me a pair after a beach day. I laughed. . . then wore them. Bought a pair. Then two more.
Fair warning: don't buy them unless you're okay with every other shoe in your closet suddenly feeling like medieval punishment. Human feet are surprisingly petty once they've experienced comfort.
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!!
These Half-Croc Beasts Are Straight-Up Kick-Ass
I’ve been a fan of Kane Footwear for a while, but these new Revive - Stars & Stripes pairs just raised the bar. Totally kick-ass. Super comfortable right out of the box, the colors pop, and that half-croc look mixed with the cushion is an absolute winner.
Whoever at the company decided this design was a good idea deserves a serious bonus. I’ll definitely be ordering more pairs.
And if you guys ever want to talk real supply-chain moves, hit me up — I’m your man.
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!
Got two pair --- one size 10 and one size 11
Love them both and often get compliments when I'm out and about. I find them comfortable and haven't experienced any "sweating" on hot days even. The size 11 I bought first and it's slightly too large --- but wearable. The size 10 I got two weeks later and are slightly tight--- but also wearable. I guess I'm suggesting you consider half sizes to be "just right" but again, overall, am very happy with both pairs!
