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.

Best shoes ever!

This is my second pair. 10 out of 10 recommend. I strubble 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 vut 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

What features do the best walking shoes have?

The best shoes for walking and standing all day feature a wide toe box, excellent arch support, flexibility, and consistent cushioning along the length of the foot.
Is it okay to wear running shoes for walking?

You can wear running shoes for walking but they may not offer the level of support and comfort you need for all day wear. Running shoes offer a concentrated amount of cushion in the heel and forefoot and can offer more heel height and cushion than necessary. This can lead to discomfort over time while walking.
How often should you replace walking shoes?

Podiatrists recommend replacing walking shoes every 300–500 miles or every six months to a year. The rubber and support starts to wear down over time, which can lead to an increased risk for injury.
What are the benefits of walking shoes?

There are many benefits to wearing high-quality supportive walking shoes! Walking shoes deliver shock-absorbing cushion, superior arch support, and flexibility to help protect your feet, relieve pain, and give you a better chance at lasting all day.

High-quality shoes for standing and walking can also help shield your bones, joints, and ligaments from the stress of hard surfaces. KURU offers some of the best walking shoes with arch support and best shoes for walking on concrete with our triple-layer technology built into every pair.
Can I use custom orthotics with KURU shoes?

Due to the anatomical shape of the KURUSOLE, custom orthotics with a rounded heel fit best inside our shoes. If the underside of the custom orthotic (the part that sits on the footbed) is squared off, then it may not fit into our deep heel cup—which is rounded like your foot.

That said, many of our customers tell us our three-part technology offers better support and stability than they expected, and that they don't need to wear their custom orthotics with KURU shoes.
