Features and Benefits of Arthritis Shoes for Men
Arthritis involves pain, swelling and inflammation in the joints—and that can include the joints in your toes and feet. You’ll want shoes with proper support and ample cushion, so you can protect those aching joints from the pressure of walking on hard surfaces like concrete.
Arthritis can also lead to issues like bunions or hammertoes, so a wide toe box can help prevent those problems, or keep the pressure off and the pain down.

Discover the perfect shoe for you.

Understanding “FIT” notes:
ALL KURU shoes are sold in US sizing. IF the “FIT” note says “1/2 size small”, you should purchase a 1/2 size larger than your normal size (e.g if wear an 8, purchase an 8.5). If the note says “1/2 size big," then purchase a 1/2 size smaller than your normal size.
Common Causes of Arthritis in Men
There are many kinds of arthritis, most of which cause your body’s immune system to attack the tissues in your joints. Women are generally at a higher risk than men, but men are more likely to get gout—which is a type of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid. There is most likely a genetic component to arthritis, meaning if you have a family history you’re more likely to experience it yourself. Arthritis can also be caused by other issues relating to your immune system.
Effective Ways To Reduce Arthritis Pain
Most treatments for arthritis are focused on relieving symptoms like pain and swelling, and also on improving your joint function. Wearing comfortable, supportive shoes that cushion your body as you walk can reduce stress and impact on susceptible joints in your feet, knees and hips.
Exercise and physical therapy can help build up strength and mobility in joints affected by arthritis, but it can be hard to keep up on these routines when your feet hurt. Comfortable shoes like KURUs can help keep you moving with less pain!
