Size & Fit
Size & Fit
PaperKrane shoes fit differently than conventional footwear - our barefoot design means a wider toe box and more natural foot shape.
But we've found that most customers find PK shoes fit true to size.

Materials & Shoe Care
PATTERNED AND PRINTED STYLES: To preserve vibrancy of patterns and prints and longevity of printed styles, we recommend protecting and waterproofing them prior to wear.
VEGAN LEATHER STYLES: While naturally water-resistant, we recommend protecting and waterproofing your vegan leather PKs prior to wear.
TO WATERPROOF & PROTECT YOUR PKs apply a fabric or vegan-leather appropriate waterproof protector before first wear and reapply regularly.
We recommend the following products:
- KIWI Sneaker Protector as a great all-purpose option
- Collonil Organic Cream for vegan leather styles
- Kiwi Protector Extreme is specially formulated for cotton, canvas, mesh and nylon styles
This one step makes a real difference to how long they look and last, don't skip it!
HOW TO CLEAN PKs
- Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for everyday marks
- For a deeper clean, hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent and air dry completely
CAUTION: Avoid machine washing, dryers, and harsh chemicals.
KEEPING YOUR PKS FRESH
- We recommend wearing socks! Simple but effective to keep sweaty feet and odor at bay.
- We also suggest rotating (or alternating) your pairs so they can dry and air out between wears, this is especially important if they've gotten wet or are in high moisture or humid environments.

Why Go Barefoot
Why Go Barefoot
Most shoes are built for looks. PKs are built for feet.
Conventional shoes squeeze, elevate, and restrict, quietly working against the natural mechanics your feet were designed for. Whether you're a growing kid or a full-grown human who's spent decades in the wrong shoes, the damage is the same. PKs get out of the way and let feet be feet.
Every PK is built on our Four F's:
- Flat: Zero-drop sole keeps your whole body in natural alignment. No heel elevation, no knock-on effect for your knees, hips, or back.
- Foot-shaped: Wide toe box lets toes spread, splay, and grip the way nature intended. No squishing, no overlap, no complaints.
- Flexible: The sole bends with your foot so your muscles actually have to work. Stronger feet, better balance, less pain over time.
- Feather-light: Less shoe means more feel. More feel means better movement, all day long.

I’ve got a very wide forefoot and can’t believe I’ve crammed up my toes in conventional shoes for so long - my bunions are evidence of it. These PaperKrane boots have so much space for the toes and ridiculously comfy for the toes.
Corinne T. 5/5 Verified
These are very comfortable in the sole and have the perfect amount of space in the toe box. Super lightweight with beautiful flexible leather, and they look very nice with almost any outfit. I do find that they can dig in to the ankles a bit at the back, especially because of the quite short elastic shoelaces that can't be tied with any give. I am going to swap to normal shoelaces to help alleviate the pressure, as they are quite comfortable when the laces are just tucked in.

Best shoes I have ever owned (46 years old and ex shoe addict!). These are EXTREMELY comfortable, they feel like slippers but look smart. Wearable with pants of dress. 100% recommend
