Backpacking
"Have shoes, will travel” is seemingly a motto or mantra that backpackers, hikers, and trekkers embody. But before you venture out into the great outdoors, make sure you check what shoes you’re wearing first.
Beach
For many people, summertime is all about lounging by the pool, the beach, or other bodies of water. Although there are plenty of footwear options that fit the season, it can be difficult to choose shoes that work well near the water. That’s where KURU’s best beach water shoes come in.
Camping
If you’re a hiker, backpacker, or simply an adventure junkie, you know that wearing the best camp shoes makes life a lot easier, as it provides enough comfort that you and your feet need after hiking all day. While appreciating the beauty of nature—the magnificent views, the birds singing, and the sense of pride and fulfillment for reaching the summit—your feet should also remain safe, comfortable, and pain-free.
Fitness
You're working hard to get fit, but your old fitness sneakers aren't cutting it. Even if you're pounding the pavement or hitting the gym, if you're still wearing those same old sneakers from years ago, you're not getting the most out of your workout.
Garden
Do your feet ache after a full day of work? KURU shoes are designed to give you the fit and support you need so your feet never hurt again. Our stylish shoes will make you excited to get outside and garden!
Gym
Tired of your old, worn-out sneakers? Don't worry, we've got you covered with our best gym shoes!
HIIT
Whether you’re an athlete or a gym buff, you know that it takes the right attitude—and shoes—to perform high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
Hiking
Hiking never felt so good. When you’re blazing a trail up the mountain, you don’t need anything holding you back—especially foot pain.
Mountain Biking
When you’re flying down a trail on your mountain bike, the last thing you’ll want to think about is your shoes. Superior performance on the trail starts with superior footwear.
Parkour
Anyone who has ever watched Jackie Chan flipping off walls and jumping from multiple floors to chase or get away from the bad guys has imagined doing the same things themselves. You know you did!
Plyometric
Plyometrics are high-intensity exercises that help build and strengthen muscles. These activities involve using a lot of speed and force, and often jumping, and can be done in your home or at the gym. It is important to look into good shoes for plyometrics. There are plenty of benefits to getting a good pair of plyometric shoes, including comfort, stability, and protection.
Running
Are you looking for the best running shoes? Well, there are a few things that you need to know before deciding on a pair. First, they will need to be breathable and shock absorbent while at the same time, working with the natural shape of your foot. Running shoes like this can give you the quality orthotic support you deserve and provide a higher performance that can ensure proper foot mechanics.
Snow
If you’re thinking about going on a winter adventure, you’ll need good shoes for snow that can support you through harsh conditions. Luckily, KURU Footwear offers shoes for snow that offer the perfect balance between protection and functionality.
Standing
We’ve all been there. Feet burning, back aching, knees starting to give out. It’s been a long day of standing on a hard surface, and you couldn’t find a pair of shoes that lasts.
Training
Are you looking for a pair of shoes that can help you reach your fitness goals? The best cross-training shoes offer a unique custom fit that adapts to your individual foot shape. This ensures proper support and alignment during your workouts, which can help to reduce the risk of injury and improve your overall performance.
Travel
Your choice of travel shoes can make or break your adventure. Whether you’re exploring the cobblestone streets window-shopping or trekking up a mountain, you should wear the best traveling shoes for maximum comfort while you create happy memories throughout your journey.
Walking
Many of us walk everyday, but let’s be honest. It’s not always a walk in the park. Unsupportive shoes, foot pain conditions like plantar fasciitis, and walking on hard surfaces can lead to painful symptoms and fatigue, making walking become more of a chore than a delight.
Workout
Let your muscles feel the burn, not your feet. Whether you’re gearing up for the 25th rep of your strength training routine or the final stages of your elliptical sesh, you need a shoe with just as much stamina. Experience workout shoes built for pain relief—and performance.
Zumba
Zumba moves are no joke. The workout session may feel like a dance party while you’re doing it but make no mistake—it’s a mega cardio workout that will leave you sweating and burning those calories.
Three Layers of Support
At KURU, we pride ourselves on our unique approach to shoe design. We believe that shoes should be shaped to fit the natural contours of your feet, which is why we create every pair in three distinct support layers, not just an insole.
Our revolutionary ergonomic design starts with a curved footbed and adds unparalleled triple-layer support that includes shock-absorbing KURUCLOUD, heel-cupping KURUSOLE, and arch-supporting ULTIMATE INSOLES. The result? Shoes that are so comfortable you’ll stop thinking about your feet.
