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.”

The Best, Top Rated Travel Walking Shoes to See the World

Getting ready for a trip? You can get away with many sub-par pieces of "gear". But, when it comes to travel shoes, it's not worth the risk. The problem with most travel shoes is they don't offer the versatility and support needed for your trip.

Imagine what it would be like to have the perfect travel shoe that is compressible to fit in luggage, yet offers versatile styling to transition from the mountainside to the city. What if you could bring only one travel shoe on your trip?

Kuru is the the World's Most Anatomical Travel Shoe. Our patent-pending KuruSole™ midsole offers orthotic-quality support with a custom molding foam insole. We combine this midsole technology with versatile, lightweight uppers that use premium materials. What results is a shoe that is just as comfortable on a rugged cobblestone alley in Italy as it is in The Bush of Australia.

Why is Kuru the Perfect Travel Shoe?

  • Lighter - Research has shown that even 1 or 2 ounces of extra weight on your feet exponentially increases your oxygen use, taxing your cardiovascular system and wearing you out. Kuru is lighter, leaving you refreshed with extra energy to enjoy your trip. Kuru travel shoes weigh the same as many lightweight, performance running shoes.
  • Durable - 93% of customers agree that Kuru is Durable and Lasts Long
  • Full Rubber Outsole - all Kuru's feature a cupped rubber outsole construction for superior durability and performance. Kuru wears better and lasts longer.
  • Supportive - 88% of customers agree Kuru is Ergonomic for My Feet while 79% agree Kuru is More Supportive than other shoes. Podiatrists have identified poor support in travel footwear as one of the leading causes of foot problems.
  • Versatile - we couldn't say it any better than Dennis at RickSteves.com or Sara:

I've got narrow feet and have had bouts of plantar [fasciitis] in the past, and none of my shoes meet my need for a single pair of traveling shoes.

Based on a recommendation, I ordered a pair of Kuru shoes. Very comfortable out of the box, and true to size...I have no hesitation in saying they will be the perfect travel shoe for me, stylish enough for the cafes in Paris and rugged enough for walking the trails of the Swiss Alps.

I just spent ten days tramping through (extremely wet) Irish countryside in your Halcyon shoes, and they were absolutely terrific--comfortable all day long, great traction and support for uneven terrain, perfectly wet/weatherproof, and good looking enough to wear anywhere. An excellent travel shoe!

Why Makes Kuru the Perfect Travel Shoe?

Kuru is the World’s Most Anatomical Travel Footwear. Unlike shoe technologies created by a marketing department, our technology is different. Our patent-pending KuruSole midsole has a high-quality, thermoplastic orthotic molded into the midsole. This orthotic supports the heel and arch to offer out-of-the-box fit and comfort. We combine that orthotic with a custom molding footbed insole. As a result, you get custom molded fit on top, with the support you need underneath. More travelers recommend Kuru travel shoes.
