"I waited for months to buy a pair of Kane shoes. I kept pushing it off and pushing it off and now I'm mad I did. This is the best pair of recovery shoes I've ever owned and I continue to go back to them for every day wear as well. I can't quit putting them on my feet whenever I can and I highly recommend any pair of Kane shoes but I have truly fallen in love with the OB pair. Highly highly highly recommend."
"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 worried about the open back not being easy to walk in, but I was pleasantly surprised to wear these shoes everyday without any hesitations in comfort or function. I've been asked countless times already where people can buy their own!"
"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."
"These are extremely comfortable to wear to and from the gym and around the house, I wear them when i use my standing desk at work too. I am marathon training as well as consistently in the gym, so every bit of extra support to speed up recovery helps. These feel supportive and comfy"
"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!"
"As much as I love my shoes, I love these slip on’s just as much. I am very much on the go all the time. When I need to sit back and relax, I throw on my slip on’s on and get to my calming destination to then take off the shoes to feel comfortable when I am in relax mode."
"I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the open-back style when I first saw them, but I decided to order a pair—and I'm so glad I did! I absolutely love them. They're just as comfortable as the regular ones, with the added convenience of the open back. They'll be perfect for traveling, especially on long flights when you want to slip your feet out for a little extra comfort without taking your shoes off completely. Love, love, love these OBs! ❤️"
"I love throwing these on after a workout- they are more supportive and less clunky than crocs. They are super comfortable without being too squishy. I could wear them all day. It’s going to be difficult not to order a bunch of other colors 😬"
