We get it. You’ve got goals and dreams, and foot pain makes everything harder.

Flat, flimsy footwear is often the culprit, leading to conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, Morton’s neuroma, and neuropathy. Most shoes lack the support needed to relieve pain, and while custom orthotics are an option, they’re often costly and don’t always fit perfectly.

Traditional shoes often lack the structure needed to relieve pain and may even worsen existing conditions. While custom orthotics are an option, they’re often costly and don’t always fit perfectly. Fortunately, there’s a better solution.

But there’s hope! At KURU, we’ve engineered orthopedic support directly into our men's orthopedic shoes, offering targeted pain relief without additional inserts.

BETTER THAN AN ORTHOPEDIC CONSULT!

Truly the best shoe I've purchased since I was a cross-country runner back in the 60's. Now 74, and aging in an active sense, I was diagnosed with bone spurs after purchasing these shoes and my podiatrist was surprised that I was able find such a good shoe to protect my heels from the excruciating pain each time I walked my dog Sara. I will be a costumer of KURU for more than a few years. Thanks for developing shoes for folks like me that are usually advised that there is nothing I can expect from Orthopedic consults when debilitated by pain in my heels."

KURU killed it!

After unsuccessfully trying several brands of orthopedic shoes during a bout of plantar fasciitis, I discovered KURU. My initial purchase was too small and KURU quickly sent shoes 1/2 size larger. I was in heaven. I wore the ATOM model for a year before I had to replace them and to my delight, they had added a waterproof model to the ATOM line. They are a little stiffer, but also a little sturdier, and have the same foot/ankle hugging fit. I also have a pair of ATOM trail shoes for hiking that I'm happy with."

Simply the best

I absolutely love these shoes. Perfect fit for my feet. Totally comfortable for long hikes and standing still. They are a great orthopedic shoe that also looks great!"

Very comfortable and great looking shoe

Love these shoes ! I have plantar fasciitis and arthritis in my feet. These shoes are really comfortable! No pain at all. They also look great! I’ve had several complements on them both at the gym and out with friends. Some comfortable shoes look orthopedic; these shoes appear to be designed for looks and sportiness! Best gift I’ve bought for myself this year!"

More pain free than orthopedic

Could not walk every aisle of a big box store in my custom orthopedic shoes with new inserts. Foot pain would force me to sit down. After 4 days of walking in my new Chicanes, I can shop all morning and walk the dog too. KURUs will be my shoe de jour. Other shoes to Good Will."
