What happened when I put the squishy footwear to the test.
My go-to workouts areyoga,dance cardio, andrunning.
(OK,jogging.)
And after each one, my feet feel some jot down of way.
When I do yoga, they feel over-stretched and sore.
After dance, theyre tired and achy.
And following a run, my feet practically scream for a massage.
Thats why I was super excited to hear thatpost-workout recovery shoesexist.
While there are quite a few options on the market, I gave theKane Reviveshoes a try.
They were created alongside podiatristDr.
Dan Gellerwith the ultimate goal of making your body feel better after a run or gym session.

The Experts
Matt Scarfois a NASM-certified personal trainer and running coach.
Dr. Dan Gelleris a podiatrist who collaborated with Kane Footwear to design the Kane Revive Active Recovery Shoe.
Something Ive noticed is that my feet often feel achy, tight, and sore.
The shoes are extra breathable thanks to all the perforations and interior channels for airflow.
Then there are the raised footbed nodes, which stimulate blood flow in keypressure pointsof your foot.
It was also a new sensation to have all that extra room around my toes.
In fact, the wide toe box almost made it feel like Iwasnt wearing shoes at all.
These nubs are supposed to stimulate your feet after exercise and basically provide a mini massage.
And you know what?
Itdidfeel like a massage sensation on my soles.
I also wore them on long walks outside.
The more we wear shoes with cushion and support, the better our recovery gains are, he added.
The Results
I really enjoyed how these shoes let my feet air out and stretch.
They did, however, take some getting used to.
Because the shoes have a wide toe box, it sort of feels like theyre too loose.
Worth It?
According to Scarfo, you dontneedto wear recovery shoes in order torecover after a workout.
