Orthopedic Shoes for Men
(10.7k reviews)
KURUs come built with an all-in-one orthopedic solution—without the need to buy additional expensive inserts or orthotics. Every pair of our men’s orthopedic shoes features our patented KURUSOLE technology with proven results—72% of customers see pain relief, and 90% of those experience pain relief within 4 weeks.
One of our 37,000+ reviews says it this way: “Worth every penny - I'm on my feet 8-9 hours a day pretty much standing in one spot (retail production kitchen). This is the best shoe I've ever bought for work - blows the other famous brand shoes away.” Thanks, Cater B.!
Features and Benefits of Men's Orthopedic Shoes
Men’s orthopedic walking shoes—like KURU shoes—are designed to offer superior support and place your feet in the proper anatomical position.
Orthopedic men’s shoes are designed to help manage foot pain conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, hammertoes, bunions, and neuropathy. They are often built with wide toe boxes, arch support, and shock absorbency to support your feet and reduce impact on your joints and ligaments.
KURU shoes go above and beyond traditional orthopedic shoes, which typically feature only a supportive insert.
KURU designs men’s orthopedic work shoes and walking shoes that feature our signature technology built into every pair: our patented KURUSOLE heel-hugging tech dynamically flexes with each step, KURUCLOUD base layer absorbs impact, and our ULTIMATE INSOLES offer dual-density superior arch support.

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.
Comparison with Non-Orthopedic Shoes
Typical shoes, or non-orthopedic shoes, have flat footbeds with minimal cushion, no specialized heel-hugging technology, and little to no arch support. These flat, hard shoes can lead to a wide variety of foot pain conditions over time.
By contrast, orthopedic shoes feature ergonomic insoles designed to mold to your foot’s natural shape. They support your arch and encourage your feet toward healthy alignment for lasting foot health.
All KURU orthopedic shoes feature industry-leading, patented KURUSOLE heel-hugging technology. Since so much daily pressure starts with our heels, we make it our mission to put your heels first in everything we do.
