Love more than my Birks
"I lived in my Birkenstock Boston’s for slip on ready to go days. I’m a gym owner & trainer, so I need shoes to wear after a had training session right into training clients. The Kane OB are perfect for me."

"I had surgery after fully tearing my Achilles. This has been a game changer for me during my recovery. Most footwear bothers my arch or I get discomfort at the scare but the open design helps with that issue. Absolutely love these!!!"
"I have had these for about a week and they are 100% my go to.. They are so comfortable and feel great on your feet. I was skeptical because I have never had a recovery shoe and didn’t think I would keep them. I’m going to order more but the color I want is out of stock for now. Sooooo I will stalk the website until they come back. 😂"
"Bought these after buying another open back which is great and fits like a glove and two traditional pairs which are also great. This pair is way wider in the heel and not at all like the others, I was going to return them but i thought i would give them a chance to conform to my feet. They didn’t. i should have returned."
"Got a size 8 per the recommendation on website since I am normally a size 8. They barely fit so I definitely recommend sizing up!! On top of that I wore them for maybe 1 minute outside and the return policy states can’t be wore outside so I could not even return them. I ended up buying another pair in a size 9 which do fit but now I’m out the money from this pair"
"I have been training for my first 5K for several months. These provide the comfort and recovery I need for my training regiment."
"I’ve been wearing the KANE Revive OB shoes, and they’ve quickly become my go-to recovery shoes. They’re incredibly easy to slip on, lightweight, and surprisingly supportive. The arch support is excellent, and after long days on my feet or after a workout, they make my feet feel noticeably less tired. I also love that they’re waterproof and easy to clean, so I don’t have to worry about wearing them almost anywhere. They feel more supportive than regular slides and have a secure fit without feeling bulky. The only thing I’d mention is that they feel a little firm at first, but after wearing them a few times, they became much more comfortable. Overall, I’d definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a comfortable recovery shoe that’s stylish, durable, and worth the investment."
"got these for my boyfriend for his birthday. He wears them all the time and states how comfy they are. I had to do a return/exchange as I got the wrong size initially and that was such a smooth process. All in all I will shop again."
"I bought a pair of Revive's and my dog ate them! So i bought these OB's. I love them! Much easier to put on, just as comfortable. I'll probably buy another pair of the original Revive's, just to have!"
"2nd pair of kanes, and this company had amazing customer support. There was a tiny tear in the back of my first pair and they fully refunded, and I bought these!! I LOVE KANES"
