Step-in simplicity. High-performance recovery.
The Revive OB is the product of research-backed design, directly informed by the locker room needs of professional athletes across the NFL, NHL, MLB, and NBA.
Born in the locker room, where greatness begins.

"I’ve had the recovery footwear for a little over a week and I already feel the benefits. Whether after work or a running workout my feet and body get the relief it needs and I love the style. I definitely recommend for both athletes looking to enhance their recovery and do it in style"
"I was a little skeptical just because so many companies make promises, I wanted to make sure to do my research and really utilize these for recovery before reviewing. These shoes are amazing, I’m training for a marathon right now and also do a lot of cross training and strength training, and these really speed up my recovery process. They’re supportive and comfortable and I wear them all the time. In love."
"Absolutely love my new KANE Revive OB in Gulf Coast. This is my 9th pair of KANES. I also possess 7 pairs of Revives, and 1 pair of Revive AC. Nothing beats my KANES for wear all day long."
"I have some foot pain and since I bought my 1st pair of Kane's my foot pain is gone. They are truly amazing. I got 2 pair for Christmas, 1 waterproof pair and the Stars and Stripes, 2 days later I ordered another pair to wear solely in the house. I no longer wear leather moccasins, I wear my revive Kane’s. We just ordered 2 more pairs, the white and pink open back and the 50 anniversary pair. Two of my coworkers also ordered 2 pairs each after listening to my praise for this footwear. Thank you Kane!"
"I have now recommended these shoes in all forms to so many of my coworkers in the medical field. I have severe disc herniations and my job requires constantly being on my feet. This last flare up I had made surgery sooner than I thought. Kane is the only reason I can push that pending surgery back because of the relief they have given me. I can probably blame myself for the Limited Edition color I wanted being sold out before I could snag them because I tell so many people about them. Please make more of the white/ strawberry speckle size 7!!!!!! I am looking to purchase my 3rd pair in 2 months !!!! Thank you Kane for making my recovery possible. Annndddd if you are thinking about buying them, DO IT !"
"These were a Father's Day gift to my husband who has had a total of 10 surgeries on his knees. As a Custody Deputy he wishes he could wear them to work as he feels the difference in his body from wearing these shoes. He has also expressed in how I need to get a pair of my choice to help me. We are very satisfied with the purchase! Thank you."
"I’ve been looking into more ethical brands with fair prices, when I stumbled upon Kane. I bought the OBs as a house slipper to avoid having to keep purchasing cheaper versions every few months. So far I love the fit, style & most important, comfort. Comfort was one of the top priorities as I am highly active & on my feet everyday of the week. I’m am betting these will last me years."
"My husband is absolutely thrilled with his 2nd pair of Kanes! First pair was great, and still is, but the slide ons are finer than frog hair! He wears them all the time! You've made him a happy man!"
"I picked these up for my son and after one day of wearing them around he throughly enjoyed them. The second day he took his slides to the trash and said I am only wearing Kane’s! Two weeks later and he won’t stopping asking for a second pair."
"Not only was Kane already my most comfortable vacation shoes, but they made them even better yet with these slip on version. Ideal for pools, hot tubs, cruises, beaches, fishing. . I could go on and on. Get you a pair and see how they stack up agiainst the so called " most comfortable shoes" You will be pleasantly surprised."
