"Everything Promised!

Being a Barber , I am on my feet all day long. With Kuru my feet do not hurt at the end of the day. I will purchase again!"

B. TheBarber

"Best shoe I've ever worn.
I had to buy shoes for cosmetology school and I have flat feet so it's hard to wear regular shoes.

I bought these and they are the only shoes I'll wear to school. Literally zero pain after walking 2.4 miles to and from school every day and being on my feet from 6 am to 6 pm its like a cloud."

Alexis S.

"I'm a hairdresser & on my feet ALL day... these are the best shoes I've ever purchased, plenty wide enough. great arch support, great heel-grabbing - feel secure on my feet, nice mesh fabric over the toes gives wiggle room & they're easy to keep clean."

Best shoes ever!

This is my second pair. 10 out of 10 recommend. I struggle with plantar fasciitis and these are a life saver. I don't wear any other shoes now.

Nina H.

Recommended by Spinal Specialist

Great shoes, helped with plantar fasciitis, took about a week to get broke in and comfortable, but they are great.

Jim R.

Best work shoes

I work as a massage therapist and I'm on my feet most of the day, not only do these shoes help with my foot fatigue, they've cut my chronic low back and hip pain significantly, I recommend them to anyone who spends alot of time on their feet.

Amy S.

Love them!

I've been doing security work for eight years and these are by FAR the most comfortable work shoes I have ever worn. I've worn them for three weeks now and I feel as though I could wear them and work another five to seven years and I'm 67 years old. Thanks KURU!

FAQs

As a hairstylist, you need shoes that can withstand the demands of your profession. According to customers, some of their top picks include CHICANE and STRIDE from KURU. But feel free to browse through the collection to find the best shoes for yourself.
The best shoes for hairdressers must be comfortable, breathable, lightweight, and durable. All of which are qualities that KURU shoes promote.
The best shoe for you will depend on your unique foot type and the style you’re looking for.
The best shoes for men and women alike offer adequate arch support and cushion. Whether you’re looking for bright blue shoes, dark blue shoes, or white shoes with blue accents, KURUs line of pain-relieving footwear help alleviate foot pain symptoms for all-day comfort.
KURU shoes deliver excellent arch support without the need for thick inserts or expensive, custom orthotics.
Superior arch support starts with our patented KURUSOLE technology, which delivers natural cushioning and dynamically hugs your heel with every step. Every foot is unique, and our ULTIMATE INSOLES adapt to fit your needs by using your own body heat to custom-mold to the shape of your feet over time.
The corrective nature of our superior arch support is designed to neutralize your weight distribution and place your foot in the best anatomical position. This support can take some getting used to. We suggest slowly breaking in your new shoes over the course of 2–3 weeks.
