PaperKrane PaperKrane - Feet First, Fun Always. www.paperkrane.com.au PaperKrane is Australia's original barefoot shoe brand.

For the past decade+ we've been delivering foot-shaped, flexible, featherlight, flat, and fun AF shoes that are designed right here in Melbourne, Australia, by parents with a passion for foot health and fashion. What started out with home-made baby shoes, loved by a fierce community of collectors, has now grown into a global footwear brand... still providing those unique, and limited edition foot friendly shoes with fun prints and colours for babies, kids, teens, women, and men... we'll always put your Feet First, and bring the Fun, Always!

Yo! Friday night’s drop went off with a spooktacular bang! 🖤🧡💜 Thank you so much to everyone who will have a pair or two spirited their way this coming week.

If you missed the announcement or my previous 10 posts, 🤣 and the 2 emails… 4 new styles are ONLINE NOW! 🙌

Our limited edition ARGYLE and SPOOKY styles are right in time for Halloween, but don’t let the season limit you to year round wear of these FUN AF PKs! 🙌 👻🎃

For all the spooky ghouls, these ARGYLE tall boots will let your inner whimsical witch out to play! 🖤🧙🧡💜 Super limited, and online now.

If your wardrobe consists of mostly black from top to toe… add a pair of fun, foot-shaped, flexible, and flat PaperKrane kicks for a colourful dopamine hit. 👣

Meet the GHOSTs with the mosts… they also happen to be footwear with the “least”… less sole and heel, less cushioning and support, less rigid counters and stiff shanks… in fact, none of that stuff exists in our barefoot shoes. 👻

These Velcro kicks (and their matching lace up sneakers) may be spooky, but they definitely won’t give your feet a fright - because they’re - Flat, Flexible, Feather Light, and Foot-Shaped! 👣

This video was made way back in May while in NZ (from still images taken while on a walk around Taupō, from the town 🏪 to the bush 🌳)

👻 Orange you glad there’s only one more day to wait for these special SPOOKY PKs?! 🤪🧡

If you’ve been around a while you’ll probably recognise the orange argyle print (from 2019 Halloween - swipe through to the last pic) and those ghosts… I put that print together myself, and even drew in a few little funny details. (If you get a pair with a ghost fart, you HAVE to take a pic and show everyone, please!)

Tomorrow - Friday Sept 25th, 8PM AEST… 4 fun pairs will drop. If you love our original style slip on PK high tops, there’s those, there’s Velcro, there’s elastic laces, and regular laces, too! 🤪🙌 You want it*, we’ve likely got it!

* If what you want is a bold pair of FUN FOOT-SHAPED shoes from a small barefoot brand that designs the most comfortable, crazy, foot-friendly footwear in the land Down Under! 🦘🇦🇺🥝🇳🇿

Fun AND foot-shaped… for the whole FAMILY?! 🤯
It’s not something you often see when it comes to barefoot shoes.

Every pair of PKs is flat, flexible, and feather light, too! With 3mm rubber soles (+ 3 mm inner soles) they’re taking minimal footwear to the max! 🥳
Round here it’s Feet First, Fun Always! 👣

These drop Friday Sept 25th! 👻🧡🖤🐅

Who else is doing Olivia's Walk for Wellness on October 4th?
Will we see you there?? 🌈👣

We joined Jewelchic's Rainbow team { https://www.walkforwellness.com.au/jewelchic-rainbow-team- }, and her team is now almost at 30k raised for this last ever Wellness Walk. 🙌

I'll be taking Wren along to do the 5k, and if you would love to join, but things are feeling a little tight to sign up, I have space for one more adult and one child to walk with us on a family team. We're starting at 9:30am. If you're in Melbourne and keen, send me a DM! (I have the bibs already)

And if you're not walking, but you'd like to donate a couple of dollars, or share this awesome cause, please do!

One week till our spooky barefoot sneaks drop! 👻🎃 Feels like we’ve been waiting a whole year… well, from design to drop it probably has been that long. 😅

Now you’re not just limited to rocking these for Halloween, you can wear these colourful foot-shaped kicks year-round. 🙌 They are sure to get some fun barefoot shoe conversations going! 🤪

Join me for a day in the life of a barefoot shoe brand boss lady/content creator/brain-busting computer based work avoider… Hey, I’m Kate! 👋 I’ve been seeing a lot of these “day in the life” type videos lately, so I thought I’d join the trend, but I’m not convinced I understood the assignment. 🤔😝

Anyway, you can find me daily trying to embody the PaperKrane slogan of, Feet First, Fun Always… I’ve been told that I’m outstanding in my field. 🏆

When your flat, flexible, feather light shoes are shaped like your feet, and often look like they were designed by a grown up who never plans on growing up… it’s quite freeing! (For your toes and your soul/sole 😆) I mean… It definitely makes it easier to lean into the FUN every day, every chance you get.

We do also make these for kids!
