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.
First time owner of Kane's
I purchased my first pair of KANE shoes and wore them for 12 hours straight during a lacrosse tournament. By the end of the day, I had a pretty significant blister just below my left ankle where the shoe rubbed against my skin. Moving forward, I'm not sure how I'll wear them without putting a Band-Aid or some type of blister protection on that area.
Other than that, the shoes are incredibly comfortable. They're lightweight, breathable, and my feet felt great even after being on them all day.
My only other complaint is the limited availability of sizes and color combinations. I still have a hard time finding the size and colors I want, both online and in stores.
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!
1/2 size
Wearing a 10. 5 I didn’t know if I should get an 11 or 10. Went to Dicks to try on both sizes. The 11 felt good but slip off my heel when walking. The 10 was tight but didn’t slip. I went online and bought a size 10. It is tight and feels ok for awhile but eventually my instep starts to feel sore. I have shoe stretchers in them now and that seems to help a little. Hope they become more comfortable in that I really like the shoes.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Great for the whole family
I ordered these for my son. This is the third pair we have bought for him, and he loves them. They are easy to slip on for the pool, a walk, or bike rides. He also wears them to and from practice. My younger son is now wearing the hand-me-downs, which speaks to the quality of the shoes. I should also mention that my husband and I have a pair and love them as well.
