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.
Desperately want these to fit!
I love what Kane footwear can potentially offer and I desperately want to find a pair that properly fit. I wear a 10. 5 sneaker so (based on Kane's recommendation), I sized down to a 10 since they only come in whole sizes. I found my heel was slipping out the back quite a bit. So I returned the product and exchanged for a size 9. I knew that was going to be a gamble, and I lost. The 9's are too tight in the toe box. I'm expecting to exchange once more in hopes that the open heel model works for me. Otherwise, the purchasing, exchange, and shipping experience was excellent.
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!
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.
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!
Much More Than Just a Recovery Shoe
We are a lacrosse family and know all about Kanes. My older son loves his special edition Maverick pair so when we needed water shoes for a recent trip to Xcarat Mexico, we looked no further than Kanes. Everyone in the family got a pair for vacation. They were perfect for walking around Tulum and the ecological parks (going from land to water and back to land). They are super comfortable and rinse clean, just like new. My boys also wore them with khakis and a polo to go to dinner at night. Very versatile and so much more than just a recovery shoe!! Living in PA, we will definitely be getting the all weather ones once colder weather hits! Highly recommend!!

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.

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.
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.
3 Year Review
They are awesome. Because of my Kanes my friends and family have bought 5+ pairs after wearing mine. Recently I lost the left shoe in a lake that I frequent. I found it 2 days ago and besides being obviously very dirty from mud they were still in perfect condition after I washed them off. I have abused mine and wear them in lakes, the ocean, the woods, and everywhere in between. They are exactly what you would want in a water shoe.
