What the Doctors Say I've developed plantar fasciitis and my Kuru's are by far the most comfortable shoe as I deal with this condition. I've tried gel insoles with my other shoes, but nothing matches the Kuru's for comfort. Kuru is the #1 shoe that has helped my Plantar Fasciitis.”Dr. Roger Sheffield |

Description
Our best-selling style, we named the Chicane for its asymmetrical lacing shape. Just like an S-curve on a winding mountain road, the Chicane's lacing follows the topline of your foot, allowing for more adjustability for a greater variation of foot shapes. This asymmetrical lacing provides a better, more secure fitting shoe. This is the shoe TheGearJunkie.com calls "one seamless entity on my foot: The insole cups the heel and supports your arch while the lacing system acts like a ribcage over the foot. . .creating a cocoon of support for the entire foot". The Chicane is the perfect crossover shoe for walking, travel, or light-duty trails. Featuring a nubuck rand for support and soft-shell uppers to hug the foot. Soft-shell is a durable textile upper that requires no break-in and conforms to the foot like a slipper.
Reasons you will Love the Chicane:
- Nylon Textile Uppers conform to your foot like a sock
- BombrSpec™ Leather rand
- Fully gusseted tongue keeps debris, water, and dust out of your shoes
- Asymmetrical Kribs™ Lacing System wraps around the foot
- Anatomical KuruSole™ Midsole Chassis with Orthotic HeelKradl™
- Water and Stain resistant BombrSpec™ Soft Shell
- Collapsible uppers, perfect for stashing in your pack
- Breathable, moisture wicking lining
- Dual-density rubber outsole
- Premium PORON® foam in heel and forefoot lasts as long as the shoe and absorbs shock
- Womens Size: 6-11
FIT NOTES: Runs approximately 1/2 size small.

They fit my feet like a glove out of the box, and they didn’t require a break in period to feel good. As far as looks are concerned, they are styled like a ultra modern hiker. They almost appear like a sneaker, but thanks to the dark color of the uppers they could be at home in the office with a pair of dockers. One of the only pairs of shoes I look forward to putting on in the morning and almost don’t want to take off at night.

I’ve never had so many people looking at and commenting on my feet. As the shoes wore in, they became one of the most comfortable things I’ve had on my feet in quite a while. I’ve found them to be good in the mud, the snow and jumping puddles around town.

I used these shoes from everything for work at the hospital, light hiking, to crack climbing in a pinch. I was a bit skeptical about how the durability of the soft shell uppers would hold up, but they did surprisingly well, even when I stuck my foot in a granite crack. The looks of the shoe also enable them to be appropriate for almost any time or place. They are very lightweight, feeling more like a house slipper than a shoe durable enough to take into the mountains. The support offered by the foot bed really is as good as it is touted to be. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

I experienced what was termed a severe crushing injury to my right ankle. The crushing part came when a draft horse tried to kick the horse on the left side of me and then backed up to kick again and got me, both times. 4 surgeries later, who knows how many therapy trials, I have a spinal implant to moderate the pain and needless to say shoe shopping is very difficult. I've been wearing Earth shoes and some of their styles are good, but it can be hard on the Achilles that wasn't cut on. From the first time I put on a pair of the Kuru Chicanes I was in heaven. I didn't want to take them off! I love them! They are so light and seem to wrap up your foot like nothing I've ever worn before, they are amazing. I figure if they can work for me and my crazy issues, they would be awesome for anyone!!

I wore these shoes recently for a long day of travel to Chicago. Once in Chicago I continued to be on the go walking around downtown for several hours. I was very pleased with how well my feet felt after my long day. I had no pain in my feet or legs and could have gone several more hours! They are very true to size I wear a 10 and they were a perfect fit. Very well made, I expect they will last me a long time and give me lots of foot love in the years to come!

My feet have been hurting for 2 years, I have to wear steel toe shoes and this has caused me a lot of pain. I love my Kuru shoes. I got them about 3 to 4 weeks. I can walk again and not feel the pain, what a difference. I feel wonderfull. or better yet my feet feel wonderfull. Thank you

I have wide, super-flat feet and bought the Chicanes for traveling. I loved that they are lightweight and fit very well-- perfect for my feet. After a full day of walking, my feet weren't as achy as I would have guessed. The only thing I would recommend is that you do break them in a little if you'll be doing a lot of walking.

I've tried many sneakers and shoes for my plantar fasciitis and NONE compare to Kuru. If you value comfort and want to be able to walk pain free purchase these shoes. They run true to size and are comfortable right out of the box! Your feet are hugged with plenty of room for your toes to extend the way they are meant to. Great shoe!!! Thank you for creating a fun, wearable, sensible, properly fit shoe!!!!!

I love these shoes!!! I discovered KURU shoes while researching what to do about my very painful plantar fasciitis . I was intrigued by the web site info so I ordered my first pair from a recliner (couldn’t stand or walk without crutches) and paid extra for express shipping. The day they arrived I put them on my feet and stood for time in a week. It felt like a miracle! I just placed an order for my third pair of KURU’s. I have recommended them to everyone I know. Thanks for rescuing my feet!!

I have severe plantar faciatis and bought these shoes in hopes they would help for my month long trip to India. I cannot believe how incredible these shoes feel, function and look. Without these shoes I could barely walk for a hour, with these shoes I went 12 hours every day with barely a twinge. I just got back and the first thing I did was order 2 more pair. Please make some in more dress-up style so I can wear them to the office. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned (and I own a lot of shoes)

Will you be getting the Chicane - women - java/carpi in size 7.5 or 8 back in stock. That looks like a great shoe and I would really like to order it. Hope you plan to.

Your shoes sound like a great idea. You are an American company and you claim sustainability. Why can't you make them in the United States?
