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
I like these shoes! They’re my first barefoot pair ever, and are super comfy. The team helped me choose the perfect size for my foot measurements.
Love my shoes, I wear them to work and I’m on my feet for 8 hours, so comfortable.
My second pair - super comfortable!
Bought for my dad for Father’s Day. He loves them. Second pair of PK’s, he also loves his boots.
Thank you Paperkrane!! We love our Lucky Dip. First pair of barefoot shoes for me, the third pair for my daughter, and she loves the green :) So comfy for my wide feet, and I can’t wait to show them off at work tomorrow
Love the feel and look of these shoes, thanks for creating such a fun and healthy pair of shoes! If one thing could be improved it would be to make them a little less slippery on wet surfaces.
I’m glad I added the inner soles to my MJs order. They are perfect to improve the fit for my low volume feet and add some additional cushioning. Very happy with them.
I absolutely love these shoes. They are adorable and look so fabulous with so many outfits, including office wear. And also, very importantly, they are so incredibly comfortable. I’m usually a 39 and think this size (unavailable at time of purchase) may be a slightly better fit for my feet. One foot I’m a 40 and the other a 39 (using the sizing chart). As my feet are low volume and standard (rather than wide) width they don’t fill shoes as much as higher volume and wider feet. However, with the inner soles (purchased separately) they fit just fine and there has been no slipping when walking. I also have a bunion on one foot so the extra room and shape is perfect for this - no rubbing and no pain. The sole has proven non slip, which is fabulous - I’ve walked on damp, slippery pavers on my commute to work with no issues. These cute shoes have honestly exceeded all my expectations. Will absolutely be a return customer.
Love the High Tops! bring us more colours please.
These are worn over my 4 year old’s AFO’s. Easy to get on and off and fit well around the bulky ankle/straps of the AFO’s.
I was struggling to get shoes on Miss 4, to her trying to wear these to bed - thanks PK for making cute, comfortable, durable shoes she actually wants to wear! She always says “I forget I’m wearing them” and she can get them on and off with ease.
I wore these to work and my feet felt amazing at the end of the day, no swiched toes , fabulous 😎
What a wonderful Lucky Dip!!! 🍀☺️These awesome stone wash high tops were sold out online when I discovered them…and I thought I’d missed out…so you can imagine how thrilled and grateful I was when these arrived in my Lucky Dip parcel!! Thanks so much PK team…I love your shoes…especially the boots and high tops!!!
Awesome shoes - look great & so comfy!! Very happy :)
The shoes are WONDERFUL!! Just what i thought they would be. I could size down but this just means i can comfortably wear sole funky socks or tights. I am going to order some more now. One vert hapoy customer right here. Thanks Paper Crane.
Love these, wore them to work today and i dont have sore feet, these are awesome, orered my 2 pair already:)
Comfortable and just awesome shoes. Wear them for weightlifting and love it. Surprised to actually get a neutral colour in the lucky dip- definitely doing again. I do find that I should go up to a 44 even though I’m usually 43 to give a time bit more room as they are pretty thing (height wise) at the toes.
One word - LOVE!!!!
I bought the inner soles for my son's school shoes as he was wanting a little more cushioning during play time on the asphalt at school, he's now worn the shoes with the inner soles all school year and he loves them! Definitely a great option for those kids that just feel they need a little bit more between themselves and the feel of the ground.
Love my Retro Plum barefoot shoes! Comfy, cute, and well-made. Customer service from Daya was exceptional! I will buy again from PaperKrane.
Got a pair of green lows. Not exactly my style but happy enough. Only issues is they were small. I have the suede Chelsea's in the same size and they are a little big so disappointed in the size inconsistency.
So so happy with my lucky dip 💓💓💓 Thank you PK gang xxx
Love these sneakers. Easy to take on and off, comfy. Quite roomy inside even with the extra insole.
Love PaperKrane shoes. No toe squish! The first pair I bought (Biro boots) are still going strong after several years. This style appeared just as I was looking for something like this, they read my mind...
Thank you so much PK team!! You’re Lucky 🍀 Dip idea is fantastic!! It was such a new, fun, and interesting experience ordering and waiting for a pair of MYSTERY SHOES!! I kept wondering about what would be inside the package 📦 and getting more excited as time passed…when they arrived, it felt like opening a present 🎁 instead of something expected that I had ordered. Quite a thrill!! I absolutely LOVE them too - Green & Pink boots!! Thank you again. Kind regards, N xx
Super comfy bright and breezy.
They don’t fit true to size. The 40 fits more like a wide 41. I will be able to use them as house shoes in winter with thick socks, but that is not why I spent money on these shoes
Amazing so comfy best shoes ever
What a pleasant surprise! Unwrapping the he lucky dip package was like receiving a birthday present from a friend who knows what you like better than you do! Super grateful for the warmer style after relocating from the tropical north to the frigid south. These baby blues slip on and off quickly for minimal heat loss between the woolly slippers and braving the icicles on the way to morning swimming training. The perfect fit helps to step up the pace on the mad dash to start work on time and they squash down nicely to do a swapsies in the bag I keep my theatre shoes in. They are comfy and breathable enough to stay on for the jog back to the car, through the traffic and the Mumzies taxi duty, right through to the shower routine when they get to hold the spot for the woolly slippers til we do it all again the next morning.
They arrived but they weren't the right colour for me. Luckily I was able to pass them on to someone else to enjoy.
The seams of my child’s boot ripped off/popped off after 1 single day of wearing them. I contacted customer service and was told it was purely cosmetic, and could use super glue to stick the threading back down. Given the price and reputation for this brand, I do not understand how this is considered normal or okay after literally wearing them once. Unfortunately, after a week of wear- my other child’s boots actually had a whole piece of the rubber break off the sole. Currently waiting to hear back from customer service about that situation.
The rubber of my child’s boot literally chipped and broke off after A WEEK of wear. I am honestly shocked given the reputation of this company, and the price point of these shoes.
