The INKY RETRO LOWS deliver instant street cred with barefoot freedom. These sleek sneakers are the perfect blend of classic navy styling and modern comfort that transitions seamlessly from work casual to weekend wandering.
Crafted with our foot-shaped design and flexible construction, they're made from premium vegan leather, with luxurious terry cotton lining and refined navy piping details, they wrap your feet in comfort while the understated design elements add that perfect touch of retro elegance without being flashy.
Like all PaperKrane shoes, INKY LOWS delivers our Four F's: FLAT zero-drop design for better posture, FOOT SHAPED wide toe box for natural toe movement, FLEXIBLE sole that moves with your feet, and FEATHER LIGHT construction that won't weigh you down.
Just a note: Terry cotton lining can feel a little more snug initially, but it will soften and adjust to your feet with wear.
Available from size EU 37 to EU 45, this style definitely puts the FUN in FUNctional!
BONUS! These kicks also come with a 5mm removable insole inside the shoe.
Want something bolder? Check out our PLUM version for vibrant purple retro vibes.
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.

Thoughtfully Made
Thoughtfully Made
We're proud to bring you shoes that feel good to wear and even better to buy.
Ethical Manufacturing: Designed in Melbourne, every pair of PaperKrane shoes is crafted with care in Vietnam by skilled artisans in safe and respectful working conditions.
Materials that matter: We use high-quality leather and suede, often sourced from dead stock (leftover materials that would otherwise go to waste). And our vegan alternative is made from recycled synthetic materials that meet both the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Recycled Claim Standard (RCS), so they are safe for you and the planet (no PLAs or forever chemicals here!)
Shoe Care | Cleaning
Shoe Care | Cleaning
Keep your PKs looking fresh with proper care and protection:
Daily maintenance: Spot clean as needed with a damp cloth and mild soap for minor marks and everyday upkeep.
Deep cleaning: For thorough cleaning, gently hand wash with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry completely. Always avoid washing machines, dryers, heat sources, dyes, or harsh chemicals that can damage materials and affect fit.
Protect your PKs: Use a protective spray that works on most materials, including synthetic leather and suede to protect your kicks from the elements.
