Experts Guide to Camping Shoes
What are Camping Shoes?
Camping shoes refer to footwear that you wear once you arrive at the camp after a hot, long day of hiking. They let your feet breathe and remain clean and healthy. In case your active shoes get wet, a dry, quality pair of shoes for camping will keep your feet protected.
The best camping shoes help you avoid rashes, blisters, fungus, and other types of foot pain. They’re also super comfy and give your feet enough time to recover. If you have achy joints or tired feet, then wearing camp shoes is more necessary and beneficial than you think.

How to Pair Your Camping Shoes and When to Wear Them
Explore how to style and wear the latest styles of camping shoes.
Camping shoes are all about comfort, so wear them with a plain shirt and shorts. While you can choose any color you like, make sure they’re moisture-wicking to absorb enough heat and moisture from your body. Lighter and pastel shades are also perfect for summer camping.
Whether you pair your camping shoes with shorts and pants, choose quick-drying ones for added convenience. Complete your cool and comfy camping look with a sun hat and sunglasses to freely explore the surroundings while staying protected under the sun.
Whether it’s a rainy day or not, bring a rain jacket when going camping. You can easily pair yellow, blue, red, and more with the same color of shoes for camping or classic ones like black. For the winter and fall seasons, you can wear your camp shoes with some layers, like thermal gear, shirts and fleece jackets, and waterproof pants. You can also wear a nice pair of gloves for added style and protection. You can just remove the layers when it gets too hot.

Features of Camping Shoes & Finding the Best Fit
Explore the process of selecting and fitting the ideal camping shoe for your foot health and safety.
When choosing the best backpacking camping shoes, look for these factors for a more well-informed purchasing decision as well as safe and comfortable feet:
– Comfort: Whether it’s lightweight camp shoes, backpacking camp shoes, or camping boots, these types of footwear are meant to give you relief from a sweaty pair of active shoes. Thus, make sure they’re comfortable enough like KURU, which has unique patented technology giving your feet maximum comfort.
– Packability and Weight: Lightweight and packable camp shoes make your backpacking or hiking adventure a little bit easier. Some camping shoes can be packed down into tiny balls, while others can be packed in pockets. You can also hang backpacking camp shoes outside your bag if they don’t compress. Then, for weight, choose between six and 12 ounces and not over a pound.
– Durability: The best camping shoes, like those we offer at KURU, last for several years. They may not be the main shoes you’ll use when hiking, but they should be able to withstand rocky conditions in the camp and protect you from different water sources.
– Breathability: The camp shoes should also be breathable enough to let your feet air out and keep your feet clean.
To pick camping shoes that fit well, don’t trust the given shoe size as each manufacturer has different standards. Get your feet measured at the end of the day too, as it's when they’re fully expanded. Also, there should be a finger-width space between the end of the camping shoe and your longest toe.
FAQS
Answers to the most frequently asked questions are just a click away.
What shoes do you wear on a campsite?
+-
You should wear camping shoes that are comfortable, lightweight, breathable, and durable. Whether you prefer camping boots or ultralight camp shoes, pick shoes that let your feet rest and recover from a long day of hiking like KURU.
Are your shoes considered orthopedic shoes?
+-
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.
How do I know which shoe to buy? Which is best for me?
+-
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.
How is the arch support of KURU shoes?
+-
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.
I just received a pair of your shoes and my feet are sore/hurt after wearing them. Why is that?
+-
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.
