Dress In Style With Orthopedic Shoes

Don’t let your orthopedic shoes cramp your style! Read on to learn how to style them in a way that still looks fashionable.

Orthopedic shoes haven’t historically prioritized style. While pain relief should always be the #1 priority in an orthopedic shoe, at KURU, we believe you can have both. Each one of our cute orthopedic shoes is made to relieve pain and match your own unique style.

Here are a few ways you can feel comfortable and confident in our fashionable orthopedic shoes.

Classy or casual: Our men’s PACE and women’s TEMPO offer a perfect blend of casual and classy, perfect for dress shoes at the office or out to dinner with friends.

Athletic: When you’re ready to hit the gym, wear a high-performance shoe like ATOM or FLUX for stylish footwear that works with any activewear or athleisure outfit.

Outdoorsy: For hiking trails or gardening days, our stylish CHICANE, QUEST, or TREAD can keep you moving on uneven terrain.

Lifestyle: Our LUNA chelsea boot, ROAM court shoe, or our KALA sandal can fit a wide variety of outfits and activities for every season.

All-Day Standing: Whether you’re in scrubs as a nurse or a high-class outfit as a hairstylist, the KINETIC anti-slip shoe or the TEMPO can keep you on your feet.

Five Signs You Need Orthopedic Shoes

Orthopedic shoes may be needed if you experience the following signs:

1. You have swelling or pain in either foot: This may be experienced from doing simple everyday activities such as standing or walking.

2. You feel a sharp pain in your heel: This is especially true if you feel sharp heel pain first thing in the morning, which may indicate plantar fasciitis.

3. You have a high arch or flat foot: People who suffer from these conditions may experience inward rolling feet as well as arch pain.

4. You have problems with balance: Having collapsed arches may occur in older adults, leading to problems in balance.

5. You notice that your shoes are uneven when worn: The soles of your ortho shoes are more worn on one side or the other.

Orthopedics vs. Orthotics

Find out about the difference between an orthotic and an orthopedic shoe, so you can make a smart choice when shopping for your next pair.

Foot pain can come with a long list of expenses—from doctor’s visits to custom orthotics. Many podiatrists also recommend supportive, comfortable orthopedic shoes for men and women to help maintain and treat a wide variety of foot conditions.

So what’s the difference between orthotics and orthopedic shoes? Let’s break it down.

Orthotics: Orthotics are a pre-made or custom-built shoe insert designed to relieve pain or pressure from foot conditions or gait abnormalities.

Orthopedic shoes: Orthopedic shoes are footwear
designed to help support or correct the natural biomechanics of the body. Orthopedic walking shoes are made to help relieve pain, improve alignment, and offer support for foot conditions.

With KURU, you can get the best of both words in one shoe. Every pair of shoes we make comes with our signature built-in technology (including premium inserts!) so you don’t have to worry about spending extra money on expensive orthotics.

You’ll just get Pain Relief Beyond Belief.

What To Look For In Orthopedic Shoes

Both men and women can benefit from a pair of orthopedic shoes. Below are features to look out for in a good pair:

1.  Ensure that there is at least a quarter to half an inch of space between the end of the shoe and your longest toe.
2. Ensure that there is enough room in the toe box that your feet aren’t rubbing against the inside of the shoe, but also that they’re not too loose and slip off.
3. Look for a pair that matches your level of comfort.
4. Inspect the inside of the shoes to see if there are any materials, seams, or tags that could irritate the foot, and look for a pair that will care for your feet.
5. Examine the soles of the shoe and ensure that they are sturdy enough to protect you from sharp objects.

Be sure to look for a pair that suits your needs and feels comfortable, rather than trusting the measurements, especially since one foot can be bigger than the other.
