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.
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.
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 .
Color was off
Comfort of the shoe is always phenomenal. I am a 6. 5 I have another pair in a W7 that’s a little big and looks big on. I have a pair that’s a 6 and way too snug. This pair that is a W7 fits a teeny bit smaller than my other W7 but it feels perfect and doesn’t look as huge on.
I gave 4 stars though because the color looks like a mint green and was not the color shown online.
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.
WHY did I wait so long to buy them??
I have seen so many friends, even people in my own family, wearing Kanes and I drug my feet on getting a pair. I didn't think they were all they were hyped to be. I wore my son's (a size too big) for a couple days, after my daily runs, to let my feet recover. I was shook. They were amazing, and they weren't even the right size. Jumped on the Kanes website and ordered my Revive Stars and Stripes in grey. I got the delivery notification while I was away on a work trip and literally couldn't wait to get home and try them on. Bottom line. . . my feet crave them after a workout, or when I'm just kickin it for the day working remotely. I'll be ordering another pair today. If you are like I was, not sure whether you should buy a pair or not. . . not sure if the hype is real. . . just order them. You'll be so glad you did. My 52 year old feet are thanking me as I type this. :)
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
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.
Gift for my son.
My son and I wear size 15 shoes. Crocks are nice but not supportive. We gifted him a set based on my own experience. I asked him for his feedback and he shared. "Dad, I don't do reviews, that's just corporate trying to engage you", "They don't care how they are, they just want your next sale", "Tell them I can jump 2' higher, and run a mile in 3;45" So my take away is love your children but don't ask questions, (FYI, he wears them everyday, and he is really a 85 year old man in a 42 year old body.
Recovery at its best!!
I was skeptical at first with the claims of a recovery shoe. I am a U. S. Army Veteran with lower leg injuries and these shoes have been a god send the last 6 months. They help with everyday walking and actually helps manage the pain to a more manageable level. If I would have had these after PT, might be in a different situation. They also give a military discount. I have bought 4 pair and plan to buy more. If you have a wide foot like me go up one size and you should have no problems.
“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!!
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.
