Comfortable Shoes: Relief with Every Step
Footwear should fuel your movement, not work against it. But, whew, can it be tempting to go with the shoe that looks fantastic and suits the event—as long as you ignore the bunion squeezing, heel scraping and slow, dull ache. Ouch.
At KURU, we want to create footwear that can adapt to every style and offer comfort with every step.
Our wide selection of some of the most comfortable shoes on the market means you can change up your footwear to fit your activity and your lifestyle.
Purchased a new pair of KURUs and they don’t feel like your old ones? Whew! That means the tech really worked—your shoes molded to your feet over time. Give them a few weeks to acclimate afresh. That’s why we offer free returns and exchanges to give you the time you need.
Footwear Facts
Podiatrists recommend changing out your footwear at least once a year or every six months, since shoes lose their cushion and support (along with their comfort) after 6–12 months of use. Avid runners may need to change out their shoes even more frequently to keep their stride strong.

Non-Slip Shoes: Keeping You on Your Feet
It’s a scene we all dread: You’re about to serve a piping hot meal to a first-time guest and suddenly that water you spilled earlier comes out of nowhere and… splat.
This doesn’t have to be. Non-slip shoes are a safety companion for kitchen floors, factory assembly lines, retail jobs, or to give your dad or grandma a little extra stability in their step.
KURU offers a line of non-slip shoes for women and men for dependability and balance you can count on.
Our popular KINETIC shoe—offered in both mens and womens styles—offers slip-resistant outsoles that keep you steady and ready for any job, outing, or event. These comfortable sneakers also feature a generous toe box and, as always, our signature patented technology. Pick
between black non-slip shoes for a universal go-to, a fresh, white and teal for women, or sleek, slate gray for men.

All-Day Shoes: Made for the 12-Hour Shift
Worn-out shoes can make a worn-out you. While it might seem innocent—and down right sustainable—to use a “retired” pair of shoes for your dirt-heavy gardening project or your no-one-will-see-my-feet retail shift, just think about how many steps you’ll be taking in them.
KURU shoes are designed to provide lasting comfort and down-to-the-fascia support for plantar fasciitis and other foot pain. Our three-part technology forms to your sole’s unique shape, flexes at your heel, and provides surround-sound comfort to every inch of your foot, so you can stay on your feet all day, pain free.
When considering a pair of walking shoes or flip flops you’ll wear all day, try fitting them for the first time at night. Feet tend to swell throughout the day, so you’ll get the most accurate picture of how you’ll feel toward the end of your shift by testing them in the evening.
If you spend much of your shift pivoting in different directions, choose a shoe at least as high as your ankle to prevent ankle injuries.
Footwear Facts
Standing all day is no joke. In fact, standing can be hard on your body, sometimes just as much—or more—than if you were walking. Choosing a shoe that can keep up with your shift—such as orthopedic shoes for women or men—can help ensure your nightly routine doesn’t have to include icing.

Orthopedic Shoes: Patented Design to Help Eliminate Pain
Our shoes don’t fit the traditional orthopedic-shoe mold—i.e. big, clunky, and lots and lots of velcro. At KURU, we believe style and comfort can coexist. So, we engineered a shoe to live up to our (pretty big) expectations.
Many orthopedic shoe designs on the market today feature only an orthotic insert, or you’ll have to spend top dollar to get custom orthotics. While those things can help, KURU’s tech goes beyond that to feature a three-part approach.
Our KURUCLOUD offers a base layer of shock-absorbing EVA foam. Then, our patented KURUSOLE firmly cups and protects the heel yet allows for dynamic flexion to evenly distribute shock. Finally, our durable, polyurethane ULTIMATE INSOLE brings lasting, arch-hugging comfort with every step.
Then, our talented team of designers dream up a wide range of fashion-forward styles to create cute, comfy shoes that keep you going from the all-day shift to the all-night wedding.
One nice thing about every KURU shoe containing our proprietary tech is that you don’t have to think about feel when looking for the right style. Simply consider the setting, and we’ll take care of the rest. We’ve got a wide range of comfortable shoes for women and men for you to choose from.
Footwear Facts
KURU shoes were designed to mold to your unique foot shape, so they’ve got a bit of a break-in period. We recommend wearing your new KURUs around the house for 2–3 hours a day at first to let them adapt.

High-Top Shoes: Protection for Your Next Adventure
KURU’s line of high-top, arch-support shoes combine our signature, built-in insoles with ample rubber outsoles to provide whole-foot support. Distinct from ordinary running shoes, they give you added stability at the ankle so you can nimbly navigate uneven terrain without worrying about twists and turns.
The American Heart Association recommends a finger width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. For anyone who has experienced bruised toenails after an extra-grueling hike, you may know the difference a little extra room can make!
Kuru Guru Footwear Facts
High-top footwear can provide extra support to joints and ligaments, which could help reduce injury.
That said, there are conflicting studies on the matter, depending on your use of high tops. A study done on the effect of high- and low-top shoes showed high tops “can, in certain conditions induce a delayed pre-activation timing and decreased amplitude of evertor muscle activity.” So, we recommend checking with your doctor on whether high-top shoes are best for you!
