FAQs

The best walking shoes for women provide a balance of heel stability, arch support, and shock absorption to reduce fatigue and improve comfort. A well-designed walking shoe includes a deep heel cup for alignment, a cushioned midsole for impact absorption, and a flexible yet supportive sole for natural movement.
KURU walking shoes feature patented KURUSOLE technology, adaptive arch support, and breathable materials, making them a top choice for women seeking long-lasting comfort during walks.
Podiatrists recommend walking shoes with structured arch support, a deep heel cup, and shock-absorbing midsoles to reduce strain on joints and prevent foot fatigue. Shoes with a wide toe box and secure heel counter help stabilize the foot and prevent discomfort from bunions, plantar fasciitis, or overpronation.
KURU’s heel-hugging KURUSOLE and cloud-like KURUCLOUD cushioning provide the stability and alignment podiatrists recommend, making them a trusted choice for women looking for foot-friendly walking shoes.
KURUCLOUD is our lightweight EVA foam midsole designed to absorb impact, reduce foot fatigue, and provide all-day comfort. This specialized cushioning system helps distribute pressure evenly across the foot, reducing strain on joints and muscles.
This shock-absorbing technology is integrated into every pair of KURU walking shoes to deliver a smooth and comfortable walking experience—perfect for women who spend hours on their feet.
The lifespan of KURU walking shoes depends on factors like usage, mileage, and terrain, but most customers report wearing them for 1+ years. Podiatrists recommend replacing walking shoes every 350–500 miles to maintain optimal support and cushioning.
KURU shoes are built for durability, and we back them with a 6-month warranty for any manufacturer defects. Regular wear on rough terrain or frequent long-distance walking may shorten the lifespan, so checking for visible signs of wear, such as sole thinning or reduced cushioning, is recommended.

Walking easy

I have a problem Achilles tendon as well as overlapping toes from years in work heels. These shoes are amazingly comfortable. The toe box is roomy and I feel no discomfort at all in my heel while wearing these shoes. Plus, they are stylish so I get lots of comments! Worth the price!"

Great Walking Shoes

I love the QUANTUM shoes. This is my second pair. They provide relief from my heel pain from bone spurs. They are a long wearing shoe. I had the first pair for about 5 years. I use them for everyday wear and walking on fairly flat trails."

Great Walking Shoe!

I can't begin to know how many shoes I've tried over the years! I put at least 5 miles a day just walking and it takes a toll on my feet if I'm wearing the wrong shoe. The FLUX gives me support, comfort and style! Love, love, love them! Had to go down half a size from my normal 7.5 which surprised me, but size doesn't matter when you find the right fit!"
