Why Heels Hurt
Every step you take starts with your heels—and it can get painful, fast. Repeated stress on the band of tissue underneath our feet—our plantar fascia—can lead to tightness, inflammation, and micro-tears. This overuse results in the characteristic symptom of plantar fasciitis: heel pain.
Our Secret
Our secret sauce? Our patented solution to heel pain relief, KURUSOLE.
Unlike anything else, KURUSOLE’s responsive technology dynamically flexes with each step to hug and protect your heels.
The curved, heel-cupping design protects the body’s natural cushioning system—the heel pad—so your feet stay happy and healthy in the most comfortable shoes.
5 stars for pain relief! This is my go-to shoe.

Walking, Workouts, Everyday
I have chronic, severe plantar fasciitis. These are by far the comfiest shoes I’ve ever bought!!
These are possibly the most comfortable walking shoes I have ever had. Walked 3.5 miles yesterday - they felt wonderful & so did my feet.
These are my 5th pair of KURU’s but my first pair of their exercise/running shoes. They will not be my last pair. My feet, knees & ankles feel great while working out.
Trust the positive reviews. I have never worn a more comfortable shoe, especially in retail working overtime hours. Truly magical.
Most comfortable shoes ever! Cute, too!
