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.
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.
Color was off
Comfort of the shoe is always phenomenal. I am a 6. 5 I have another pair in a W7 that’s a little big and looks big on. I have a pair that’s a 6 and way too snug. This pair that is a W7 fits a teeny bit smaller than my other W7 but it feels perfect and doesn’t look as huge on.
I gave 4 stars though because the color looks like a mint green and was not the color shown online.
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.
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!!
Comically crave worthy & impressive
I beat the hell out of my feet, so I figured "recovery shoes" were just influencer bait. You know, the same tier of nonsense as a kid with a rented supercar explaining wealth creation between TikToks.
An elite athlete friend tossed me a pair after a beach day. I laughed. . . then wore them. Bought a pair. Then two more.
Fair warning: don't buy them unless you're okay with every other shoe in your closet suddenly feeling like medieval punishment. Human feet are surprisingly petty once they've experienced comfort.
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.
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.
Pleasantly surprised!
I have never liked the look of "holey" shoes. Decided these looked the best of the bunch and had great reviews now that I've been exercising more regularly, particularly cycling (some running). I absolutely love the feel of them and they are extremely comfortable. These have stayed on my feet since I took them out of the box. I'll be buying more for sure.
Recovery must have!
As a runner, these have been a game changer for recovery. I wear them all day long, and the only time they come off is when I lace up my running shoes. They’re unbelievably comfortable, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in how my knees and feet feel after runs. I’ll absolutely be purchasing another pair as soon as the pink ones are back in stock!
Awesome shoes
Runs a little large. I normally wear an 8. 5 and originally ordered a 9, but exchanged them for an 8, which fits perfectly. I've worn them to the gym, a concert in the rain, and for everyday wear—they're incredibly comfortable. The customer service is top-notch, too. The return/exchange process was seamless and hassle-free. Highly recommend!
