Best Snow Shoes
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.
You’ll also be delighted to know that we don’t carry big clunky boots and sneakers—we designed each shoe to wrap snuggly around your feet while looking stylish and on point.
When it comes to footwear for snowy conditions, it is essential to have a pair of shoes that can keep your feet warm, dry, and provide good traction on slippery surfaces. Snow boots and shoes are the perfect footwear for snowy conditions, as they are designed with features such as waterproofing, insulation, and sturdy soles with traction-enhancing technologies.
Shoes for snow typically feature waterproof materials such as Gore-Tex or treated leather, which help to keep your feet dry and protected from wet snow and slush. They also come with insulation materials like Thinsulate, which helps to keep your feet warm and cozy, even in extremely cold temperatures. Some boots and shoes also feature removable liners, allowing you to customize the level of insulation depending on the weather conditions.
The soles are designed to provide excellent traction on slippery surfaces, with features such as rubber outsoles and deep lugs that grip onto the snow and ice. Some shoes also feature crampons or spikes on the sole for extra traction on icy surfaces. Additionally, snow boots and shoes often have a higher cut than regular shoes, providing added support and protection from deep snow. With the right pair of snow shoes or boots, you can enjoy all of your favorite winter activities without worrying about cold, wet, or slippery feet.

How is the arch support of KURU shoes?
KURU shoes deliver excellent arch support without the need for thick inserts or expensive, custom orthotics.
Superior arch support starts with our patented KURUSOLE technology, which delivers natural cushioning and dynamically hugs your heel with every step. Every foot is unique, and our ULTIMATE INSOLES adapt to fit your needs by using your own body heat to custom-mold to the shape of your feet over time.
The corrective nature of our superior arch support is designed to neutralize your weight distribution and place your foot in the best anatomical position. This support can take some getting used to. We suggest slowly breaking in your new shoes over the course of 2–3 weeks.
-
I just received a pair of your shoes and my feet are sore/hurt after wearing them. Why is that?
Some customers experience tenderness when they first start wearing a new pair of KURUs. That’s ok! Your body may need time to adjust to the new levels of anatomical support you experience with our patented KURUSOLE technology. Our shoes are also designed to mold to your unique foot shape, which takes a bit of a break-in period.
To help mitigate this, we suggest you follow our break-in procedure, including wearing your KURUs for a couple hours per day around the house in the first couple of weeks as they break in and form to your foot.

How do I know which shoes to buy? Which is best for me?
The best shoe for you will depend on your unique foot type and the style you’re looking for.
The best shoes for men and women alike offer adequate arch support and cushion. KURU’s line of pain-relieving footwear help alleviate foot pain symptoms for all-day comfort.
-
Can I use custom orthotics with KURU shoes?
Due to the anatomical shape of the KURUSOLE, custom orthotics with a rounded heel fit best inside our shoes. If the underside of the custom orthotic (the part that sits on the footbed) is squared off, then it may not fit into our deep heel cup—which is rounded like your foot.
That said, many of our customers tell us the KURUSOLE technology offers better support and stability than they expected, and that they don’t need to wear their custom orthotics with KURU shoes.
