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!

Common FAQs

The best shoe for you will depend on your unique foot type. The best chef shoes—for women and men alike—offer adequate arch support and cushion along with slip-resistant soles.

Whether you’re looking for anti-slip kitchen shoes, work boots, or athletic shoes, KURUs line of comfortable chef shoes for men and women so you can stay safe and comfortable all day long.
Yes, it does! Our KINETIC anti-slip shoe for both men and women features a high-grade rubber outsole that meets ASTM F2913 and SATRA TM-144 standards. The KINETIC also comes with our pain-relieving cushion and arch support built in, so you can last for long hours on your feet.
Some customers experience tenderness when they first start wearing a new pair of KURUs. That’s ok! Your body may need time to adjust to the new levels of anatomical support you experience with our patented KURUSOLE technology. Our shoes are also designed to mold to your unique foot shape, which takes a bit of a break-in period.
To help mitigate this, we suggest you follow our break-in procedure, including wearing your KURUs for a couple hours per day around the house in the first couple of weeks as they break in and form to your foot.
While our shoes are not currently considered orthopedic by a medical standard, we have received thousands of positive reviews from customers who say their KURUs helped reduce or eliminate their pain in their kitchen environment and everyday lives.
Comfort shoes for standing all day should feature a wide toe box, shock-absorbing cushioned footbed, and high-quality arch support—just like KURU’s line of footwear!
