Customer photo review of SKITTLE MID - ADULT
Joana F.Verified
I started wearing paperkrane shoes about 2 years ago. I tried more than one barefoot brand shoe to help with bunion pain. I have zero bunion pain now. Sure, I still have foot fatigue, espeically after work as a Nurse. Unfortunately, I am now unable to wear any other shoes. I would order any style in the mids and hightops, those are my favorite. I panicked when PK stopped shipping to the US, due to tariffs, and bought every pair I didn't already have. Paperkrane has me SHOOK!

These are super cute and extremely comfortable. I've only recently been moving into barefoot shoes, and these are the most comfortable sneakers I've tried yet. I have wide feet and these are very roomy accross the toes. Super happy!

Love these shoes!! They’re so comfortable. The tongue was a little stiff and pokey into my ankle at first, but I persisted and it’s softened up nicely (if this is an issue, try loosening the laces at first, only took 3 days for me). I didn’t get any blisters from these shoes either!

My daughter loves these and has been wearing them most days since getting them! (The other days she’s wearing her PK boots!). Seriously comfortable, no ‘wearing in’ time and look super cute with everything. Worth the price and fiddle time working out the size. 😃

Erica M.Verified
The day these shoes were announced my daughter was diagnosed with autism. We've been wearing PKs for four years now and they're comfortable and durable. They're the only shoes my daughter will wear daily and not take off. I've gone on 16km hikes through the rainforest in mine and we're constantly receiving compliments and questions on them. It meant so much that I was able to explain to my daughter that the artist who collabed on these shoes was like her and that her autism doesn't have to limit...

Mr 6 is a super active kid and for him even sitting is a whole body experience 😅 so having comfortable, flexible shoes that give him the freedom he needs is super important. And he love love loves his 'rainbow shoes' - picked them himself and is so excited that he gets to keep them 🤣

LOVE THEM! Super comfortable and go with every outfit! I’ve hardly taken them off and if I’m not wearing them, I’m wearing my PK camel toes! Great quality. I’m so excited for the new shoes dropping over Spring/Summer.

Chloe B.Verified
These shoes are so comfy! Not even a barefoot fanatic but being able to wiggle my toes and not have them constricted is excellent. I haven't had them slip on concrete in wet weather, and they're reasonably water resistant. So stoked I took a chance and bought these - I'm absolutely converted and will be buying more!!

Inèz D.Verified
Love my Paper Kranes! I swapped to barefoot shoes almost two years ago now, and bought only one pair of enclosed sneaker-type shoes from Vivobarefoot. Although not terribly ugly, not super amazing looking either. They've done a great job and I've worn them heaps, but when they started showing more wear and tear (and I couldn't really find a matching olive coloured shoe polish to touch them up), I felt I needed a fun, good-looking pair of shoes, so that I could wear some nice shoes when I dressed...

Great purchase ever. I was hesitating buy first barefoot school shoes for my girl as I’m not sure if she will like it. Turned out she loves it so much, running walking and telling me how much she loves it. Highly recommended !!!

Rachael G.Verified
This was my last attempt to find shoes my ASD3 daughter would feel comfortable in (we went through so many!). after a bit of convincing, she let me put them on and I couldn't believe it when she even kept them on in the car! These are a total game changer for us! Easy to put on and hopefully one day my daughter will be able to do so as well. I also loooove that I can buy these in adult sizes so we don't have to go through getting her use to a different shoe. Argh! so good.... Your newest fan, Ra...

Carys N.Verified
We love Paperkrane shoes. These are his 5th pair, over as many years. The quality is amazing - he plays hard in them and they last a full year till they are out grown (and some still have life for hand me downs). Sizing, shape and comfort level is also incredible - we value barefoot life hugely and believe it to be important for children's development, so when shoes are needed these are the ones to keep freedom of movement when climbing and balancing. + the colours and prints are so fun 💚

Very happy with them and so chuffed to discover a Melbourne based brand of bare feet shoes for my flat and wide feet. Going to order a second pair now! Thank you very much and hope business continues to grow and you all will stay around for a long time! Been challenging finding comfortable sneakers.

Kristin B.Verified
These shoes are amazing! Soft suede upper that hugs the ankle slightly. The colors are great and even match the school uniform because blue is in the front of the sole/toe. Not sure how well they’ll hold up because my daughter is very hard on her shoes. I need to waterproof them. Stains/dirt are difficult to remove from the green elastic, but dirt can be brushed off the suede.

Couldn't say no to these Veggie Lows! Nice addition to my small collection of barefoot shoes =] Instead of a box they came in a bag, which can be re-used for groceries or something else - nice touch! There also was a pair of the insoles - for those who is new to barefoot shoes.

I feel like getting a request for a review and looking at my feet to confirm I've been living in these shoes is the most positive feedback I can think of!

These are honestly the best boots I have ever purchased! They fit perfectly and there was absolutely no breaking-in time, they were so comfortable from the first wear. They are my second pair of Paper Kranes and I will definitely be buying more :)

Carly S.Verified
My 2nd pair of paper kranes and I'm lining up my next while loading all my old shoes on Trademe. If you're wondering if these are right for you - good chance they are. Sore feet/ankles/hips? Rolling your ankles weirdly often? Looking at your toes like why are they so sad? Not gonna pretend theyre a cure-all, but they make me feel like at least I'm putting my best foot forward. Would, and do, recommend to everyone. Recommend getting the inner soles if youre new to barefoot. It is quite hard...

I love my new Licorice MJs. They are so spacious and comfortable. I can finally use my toes the way they are supposed to work, with plenty of room. I like feeling the ground and textures I am walking across. My new favorite shoes!

Had these for about two weeks now and they're my go to every day shoe, so comfortable from out of the box, great quality in look and feel, good shape without looking clowny, and that bold green colour! Absolutely great shoes.

Amanda L.Verified
Working as a cleaner up to 7 hours a day and being on my feet, I was struggling with aching feet and a sore right heel. I wanted to try barefoot shoes and paper kranes have impressed me beyond expectations!!! After one week of wearing them my feet are no longer aching like they were and the pain in my heel has gone. You can't go past the cool design and I have had many compliments on them. I will definitely be ordering another pair with a different design and the only shoes that my feet will be ...

Customer video review of PLUM | RETRO LOW
Carly S.Verified
These shoes are exactly what I was hoping they'd be. Super comfy, go with just about anything and really cute. They've started my barefoot journey and ruined my other shoes for me. My son tried them on and said they were way comfier than his shoes so we'll likely be getting him some at some stage too! I saw a review that said they felt tight on top of the toe and I found that too, but it quickly settled without any major discomfort.

Customer video review of LIL RIPPA BLK
Katylee C.Verified
These shoes look great and are comfortable for kids with sensory issues and motor planning problems. They were our second try at a school shoe. Movement and comfort is much easier in these. I am seeing more confidence in walking over uneven surfaces and when using stairs. Also in play previously shoes would need to be taken off to use playground equipment. I am eager to purchase a casual pair too.

Customer photo review of OAT MILK LOWS - NEW SOLE+1
Nancy Z.Verified
I was looking for a zero drop shoe that still had some cushion to it in a very wearable and versatile silhouette. This one fit the bill. It’s cute and the vegan leather is a lot softer and nicer than I was thinking it might be. Also love that I can easily wipe away stains from my bike chain. I am not as tough as the barefoot crowd so I still might have to get a thicker insert as I start to feel heel strike after walking for a while, but this shoe still has more cushion than some other barefoot b...

Quincey G.Verified
These shoes are amazing! The sizing chart was completely accurate, the colour is just as I was expecting, the fit is perfect, they arrived in less than 24 hours with express shipping. My only fault is that the front pull on tag on the left is permanently tucked inside the shoe, and the right one sticks out due to a difference in sewing. All in all, as a long limbed 13 year old, I highly recommend these shoes!

Jazlyn P.Verified
I’ve bought 3 pairs of PK’s but these are hands down my absolute fav!! The usual high level of comfort meets snazzy style! I get loads of compliments and haven’t taken them off since I got them (I mean I don’t sleep in them, but I’m close to it 🤣) Only note, they aren’t very grippy in wet English mizzle (mist/drizzle)

As someone with terrible feet and not insubstantial orthotics, these shoes were comfortable right from the first moment! I am a complete convert! These shoes are incredibly comfortable, totally practical, and have elicited endless compliments on their colour and style! Thank you! I adore them! 🩷

Love them !! They've really changed my centre of gravity and for the best ! I feel I'm using all of my foot now which is helping to strengthen and support my whole body and posture I'm naturally away with the fairies, so these are my perfect shoe ! My favourite part is feeling more in my body as I'm aware of where my feet are in space🤩 I'm telling everyone ! Highly recommended

I absolutely love these! So soft and comfortable, plus really well made! I went back to buy another pair but it was gutted they sold out in my size, so I bought a pair of lows instead 🤣 I don't think I'll ever wear another brand of shoes

These are so comfortable and the design is awesome! Love that a barefoot brand has some killer style. Fun, Funky & so cool. They were on a lil snug side upon arrival but, my local cobbler can remedy that. Definitely, will order a size up. Thank you for everything, ladies! Cass

Love these so much. Super comfortable, great for a range of activities. So far I have gone on a long walk, cardio class, weight lifting and general around the house wear. Love the stretchy laces to help with overall fit and his how flexible they are.

Tamara H.Verified
I adore these shoes. Unbelievably cute and comfortable. I get compliments on them all the time. The elastic laces were kind of weird/annoying to me so I replaced them with Hickies. I'm sure there are other brands too, basically they are stretchy rubber things you put instead of laces and mine happen to be lime green. Now these shoes are perfect. I wear a U.S. size women's 9.5 (sometimes a 10 depending on the brand, but never a 9) and the size 41 fits me perfectly. I measured according to the ins...

I’ve been shopping the site for months but this is my first purchase, and I could not be more pleased! The colors and design bring me (and everyone around me!) so much joy, and my feet are experiencing relief from nerve and tendon issues for the first time in months. Love, love, love them!

They are so comfy, like even more than the shoes I’ve already got in my collection. I started with boring white & black, so when I saw these I just HAD to have them. I only wear PK’s now! My feet are so happy about it 👏

Fantastic shoes for early walker because they are so flexible and allow little feet to get the proprioceptive feedback that they need to develop their balance. Also the rainbow sole is super cute!

Cathryn G.Verified
I was skeptical. I have a very high arch and have been convinced over the years that my footwear requires “arch support”… whatever! I am on my feet all day and my PaperKranes are fantastic! My other concern was gravel, at work I spend a lot of time walking on sharp crushed rock. A thin sole had me worried as well and had proven to be a non issue. I do wear them with the PK inner sole, though have tested them without and still not had a problem. Two pairs, soon to be three or four x

I've been a paperkrane fan for years now bought so many pairs from you guys. I've said this before in a previous email but I was getting a lot of pain in my knees and quads because I have flat and wide feet and was wearing chucks most of the time. Since I've switched to PK a few years ago I've had zero quad and knee pain since then! I love this particular model because I'm a very active individual, and run and go to the parks with my baby a lot. With some of the previous paperkrane shoes I fe...
