COME BACK BETTER. This is Kane Footwear’s philosophy. We’re all tough on our bodies, especially if you’re any sort of athlete. Many of us have our footwear dialed in for running, but what do you do when you get home and you want a pair of shoes to relax in?
I’ve never been a fan of the style of shoes I once referred to as “gardening shoes” – you know, plastic with little holes in them. But someone Crocs are still cool and my kids pretty much live in them. I asked them “why!” and the answer was pretty simple – they are simple and comfortable. Personally, I still can’t get there with those shoes – but I am here for Kane.
The Kane Revive AC is a recovery shoe that’s made with a bio-based closed-cell RestoreFoam – derived from Brazilian sugarcane. Sugarcane is a renewable resource that reduces greenhouse gases by capturing CO2 as it grows. In addition to using this natural technology, Kane is a member of 1% for the Planet and even have a collab with them!
So now you know that the environmental impact is important at Kane, so what about the shoes themselves? The shoes have a proprietary blend of EVA, a 10mm heel raise, and arch support to really help alleviate foot and leg muscle aches and pains. The Kane Revive has recovery features embedded:
- Stimulates: There are raised footbed nodes that help activate blood flow on your foot’s pressure points.
- Supports: The anatomical design secures your heel, arch, and instep.
- Rebounds: These are a great ride, with a smooth transition and energy return throughout the whole foot.
- Cushions: There’s a dual density construction to the shoes, providing great cushion and support.
What makes the AC version different than the standard are those two letters – the AC for “All Conditions”. It’s a weatherproof companion that closes the holes with a weatherproof shell and adds a neoprene thermal cuff to the top.
I tried on the Kanes as soon as I got them, and they felt good. My size 12 fit as expected with no sizing difference needed for me. Once they are on, they are very comfortable yet supportive, which is just what I needed to keep myself moving. They have a wonderful bounce to them, and they were also pretty perfect for tasting over our first elongated stretch of rain in a few months.
Keeping the Kane Revive AC shoes clean is simple – just soap and water will do the trick. The bio-based closed-cell foam doesn’t absorb moisture, meaning they are just as functional in water as they are on land, and they dry very quickly.
Kane also has a ton of different style and color combinations to choose from so its east to find something that fits your style.
