Best Hiking Shoes for the Trail

Share with your friends.

When it comes to your hiking shoes, quality and shape are the most important aspects. When you are hiking, especially with a loaded pack, you can not risk your body's foundation—your feet.

There's a lot of places where we get away with beat up, worn out gear that has long since seen its prime. However, when it comes to your hiking shoes, ‘beat up’ and ‘worn out’ are two things you definitely need to avoid. When hiking, especially with a loaded pack, you can't risk your body's foundation—your feet.

Imagine what it would be like to have the perfect hiking shoe that is rugged enough to summit one of Colorado's Fourteeners, yet effortlessly transitions to the local bar for a round of beers. How much better would your feet feel if you could surround your feet with support in all the right places?

KURU hiking shoes give you total versatility with superior trail feel. The aggressive lugs combine with our premium KURUSOLE™ technology to give you amazing support and stability on the trail. With KURU hiking shoes, you will have your best trip ever.

Hiking Shoe Technology

KURU hiking shoes keep you on the trail and away from the ibuprofen and moleskin. The amazing KURUSOLE™ hugs the natural fat pad in your heels for superior cushioning and comfort. This is feel good technology for the trail.

KURU hiking shoes are unlike any other trail shoes. Our patented KURUSOLE™, with HEELHUGR™ Technology, is crafted into every pair of hiking shoes. This revolutionary technology offers orthotic-quality support that cups your heel for stability and sure-footed traction.

KURU shoes have logged thousands of miles in the Rocky Mountains to optimize every aspect of the KURUSOLE™ technology. We set a new standard when we received a patent for KURUSOLE™, helping make KURU the World's most anatomical midsole for hiking shoes.

Never to stop short of perfection, we use a unique, heat-reactive foam insole that custom molds to your foot shape so you can go longer and make the next summit.

Enjoy Your Hike.
