Shoe size

Our LICORICE MJs are back by popular demand! A long-time favourite, this versatile casual shoe just goes with so many things! Wear them for work (or school for the bigger kids), for a casual a night out, or as an easy slip on shoe to take you EVERYWHERE. 

DETAILS:

  • Black vegan leather uppers
  • Smooth knit lining
  • Elastic strap
  • Gum rubber sole

A note on fit: Due to the minimal style of this shoe, they may feel roomier than other PK styles, especially for slim or low volume feet. We suggest combining with our PK Removable Insoles to improve fit and feel if needed, or if you're at the lower end of the 'Best Fit' range for your size, you may wish to size down in this style.

Available in sizes EU 26 to EU 43, this style definitely puts the FUN in FUNctional!

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

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.

Customer video review of LICORICE | MARY JANE - ADULTS

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.

Customer video review of LICORICE | MARY JANE - ADULTS

I first ordered the size 40 and decided to change to the 41 which is the perfect size. They are a little roomy as I don't have wide feet but with the inserts they are perfect. I will order another pair right now!

I am so thrilled pk has started making these in adult sizes again. Formal enough for work, but I don't need to look like a school child.
