Picked up the Mary Janes so I'd have some comfortable slip on style shoes for weightlifting and painting, maybe some round-the-house shoes. I've been wearing them non stop, super comfortable and no strain points from all day wear. Because I also wear them at the gym, I might end up cutting some holes in the top of the toe part as my toes get really hot and sweaty. But I'm certain some of the other sneaker varieties would not have this issue with the holes on the top already. Perfect shoe otherwise. Quality built, no wear and tear from spin bike, walking, weight training with squats etc. the coloured soles are sick too.

Super comfy and my feet definitely feel better. The soles are a touch thin especially on the heel as you can feel some heel strike on concrete but it doesn't stop me wanting to wear them. So good to have found a cool wide box shoe!

Store owner replied: Glad you're loving them, Lauren! Just wanted to jump in and let you know sometimes we need to make some minor adjustments to our walking patterns when we switch to barefoot shoes. We don't have those cushy heels anymore, like sports shoes do, so we've got to shorten our steps and step a little more gently. Hopefully that will help you with the heel striking. Kate x
I've been in barefoot shoes for quite a while, but these are the most comfortable and stylish barefoots I've had!!! Cannot recommend them highly enough
My first time using elastic laces but straight out of the package, one of the aglets was cracked open and wouldn't go through the eyelet holes in my new sneakers. I am in NZ so returning them is a waste of time and money. Disappointing but not the end of the world. Other than that, the laces are great, they look good and and I am enjoying the ease of the slip-on-slip-off sneakers.
I prefer a little more substance between me and the ground and these insoles are perfect.
Cute and Comfy. I wanted something more than a boring white sneaker. The Confetti Pop is exactly right for me. Plus they are so comfortable, especially with the extra insole. I'm a convert.
i like it
Love them. So comfortable.
Now I can match with my son 🥰Thank you! Super comfortable and after 4 months of wear they are holding up Beautifully 🥰
I’m obsessed with this shoes design! So easy to put on and very cute!🥰
If they can keep up with my 6 year old wild child I have to rate them highly! Thank you for providing my red obsessed son with some funky red boots! At last 😍😍😍😍
So easy to slip on my toddlers foot! Makes it pretty easy to convince him to wear shoes 🫶 perfect for all of his crazy adventures
So so buttery soft- I love that they’re all black- perfect for fun and for work too! Profeshhhhh
These are my current favorites- perfect for everyday wear plus professional looking enough for work!
6 year old thinks they’re the best! Loves the Velcro strap 🙌
Little man loves them! Such a great style for toddlers!
Love love love! So soft and fun! I know what I’m wearing for Halloween and every other day 🎃
Can confirm hardy, comfortable, fun and approved by my otherwise red shoe hating rooster. In fact I even got a dance from him while wearing the shoes. A mark of high praise.
I love the look of the Stealth boots but for some reason they are slightly narrower than my other PKs so not quite as comfy but on the whole I love them! My third pair of PKs which are rapidly becoming my go to everyday!
Store owner replied: Hey Rosemary, definitely have a play with loosening the laces and setting them where they're comfy for you. I find they're so soft when they fit just right. Kate x
My daughter is Autistic, and is really fussy with shoes (sensory needs). She will only wear barefoot shoes, and she was so excited to wear these. Side note, I got some other shoes (different brand) to fly, but they felt unbearable so I’m in mine too, because we would rather fly in style AND comfort. Thank you Paperkrane, keep them coming!!
Love em🫶🫶🫶 Thank you PK! They are just like my zebra ones, which I've worn to death.
I got the same pair on my second Lucky Dip but I’m happy, because I go through shoes like nothing, I am keeping them for when this pair is buggered. A gamble worth taking. The most comfiest shoes, but feet took only a few days to adjust and off I went. Thanks Paperkrane :)
Another pair of super comfy, super cute shoes. Up to my fifth pair of PKs.
I am a Les Mills BodyCombat instructor and was recently at our CanFitPro global conference. I had just received my Just Don’t shoes (first ever Paperkrane purchase) and absolutely adore them. They were so comfy I decided to forgo the regular barefoot style I wear for workouts and kept these beauty’s on. Front row at the presentation just smashing it in my Just Don’ts. I’m about to grab a different pair to continue to add to my new obsession. Thanks for such a comfy, stylish and cheeky shoe.
Great shoes - so comfy.
Omg! These are the best shoes ever… surprisingly comfortable - as in much more comfortable even when compared with other barefoot styles I’ve worn… cannot rate them highly enough. I am on my feet a lot and they’re great… and have received lots of love from anyone lucky enough to witness the amazing greenness of them. More bright colours please!!!! Hahaha
Super cute and comfortable!! Absolutely LOVE the yellow 💛…another win for the PK team!!…for me personally I would have preferred leather for longevity but these boots are still worth purchasing. Thanks team!!
Thought I’d take the chance and get a lucky dip. So glad I did! I had wanted this pair of boats when they came out. So very fun!! Great mystery shopping 🤩
These Paper Kranes are FUN 🤩 As a massage therapist, I mostly wear all black or navy blue in the clinic, so having some bright green shoes lifts my outfit and my mood. Always a talking point with my clients too.
Very comfortable bare foot shoe however it feels insecure as if I can fall over when turning or side stepping. It doesn't feel secure enough to run in, I would expect a barefoot shoe to be easier to run in rather then one I can't run in at all.
They are so beautiful my kids loved it they can really feel the ground.
The Plum Retro Low's have been a great addition to my barefoot footwear collection. I have been wearing these to work for the last two weeks with my it'sWMT grip toe socks and my feet feel great! The shoes are light, functional, flexy and stylish. I got complimented by my colleague. My work requires me to be on my feet all day accumulating a lot of steps. My PK's are holding up, great pair of sneakers! The first two days I had the insoles in and they were getting a bit snug so since then I've been wearing it without the insole :) thumbs up! Thanks PK team!
I have been wearing barefoot shoes for years and have been trying to convince my son to try barefoot shoes as well. I finally convinced him when I was making my first PK purchase. He was hesitant but he hasn't worn anything else since they arrived. Safe to say PK's are a hit in our house and we won't be going back.
Love these shoes! Super easy to get on/off and easy to clean. Would recommend
These shoes are so great for my anti-shoe kid!
Such a beautiful colour…am so grateful that you guys aren’t afraid of bold designs and wonderful expressions of colour. Thank you again PK team!!! 💜💜💜🤩💐
Very cool boots..absolutely love the pattern and comfort level!! Thanks again PK team!! Love your work 💚🌻
These insoles are great! Because I'm new to barefoot I wanted that little bit of extra comfort & support as I transition from my narrow (painful) shoes into my super comfy Paperkranes! Worked perfectly.
First time ever wearing barefoot shoes and I LOVE THEM! Immediately I noticed how comfortable my feet felt!! I realised I'd been squashing my feet into narrow sneakers and it was quite painful. Straightaway when I slipped my new Paperkranes on, I could tell that my toes actually had space and weren't squished. Honestly, LOVE these shoes. If you've never tried them before but always wondered... I highly recommend!
Perfect play shoes that look good enough to party in
