"Super hiker
I have been wearing this hiking several times a week for two years now. They don’t slip in snow or mud, they keep my feet dry and warm in winter but are fine in summer- great ankle support but also light. These are the boots to hike away in!"
Quest
"New England Winter Survivors
I bought these shoes at the beginning of the winter for morning walks with a group of friends. We walked neighborhood streets here in New England every day, through snow and rain and ice and road salt. The Chicanes did the job every day. Much more rugged than I thought they’d be and warm and dry. Comfortable from day one. Great shoes."

FAQS
Answers to the most frequently asked questions are just a click away.
What are the best shoes for snow and ice?
+-
Many shoes can offer increased traction, warmth, and weather resistance when around snow and ice. If you’re looking to have an adventure out in the cold, a pair of boots or sneakers that can provide comfort is the best option for you. Make sure that your shoes will keep your feet stable and pain-free to ensure that you get the most out of your experience.
Are hiking shoes good for snow?
+-
If you plan to hike in the snow for long distances, you’ll need to consider buying a pair of shoes that can provide comfort. While most people will opt for snow boots, that are heavy, bulky, and unbreathable, you may want to look into hiking shoes. Once you use them, you’ll see that hiking shoes are a lot more compact, lightweight, and breathable during your journey.
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.
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. KURU's line of pain-relieving footwear help alleviate foot pain symptoms for all-day comfort.
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 the KURUSOLE technology offers better support and stability than they expected, and that they don't need to wear their custom orthotics with KURU shoes.
