KURUCLOUD
Our KURUCLOUD midsole acts as a cushioned footbed to offer padding and shock absorption for the whole foot. This layer of lightweight EVA foam helps absorb impact to your joints and bones for less foot fatigue after a long day on your feet.
KURUSOLE
Our patented KURUSOLE plate features a unique design that cups and protects the heel and allows for dynamic flexion with each step. This superior support helps utilize our body’s natural cushioning system, the heel’s fat pad for long-lasting support.

Dress in Style With Reflective Shoes
Explore how to wear the latest styles of reflective shoes from KURU.
Whether you need to catch a driver's eye when taking your kiddos trick-or-treating or you need to get in a late-night dog walk, shoes with reflective material help support your safety.
Here are a few ways you can wear reflective footwear:
White reflective shoes: A neutral, light color shoe goes with almost anything. Choose a pair of white reflective shoes like our KINETIC for a night job as a nurse, a walking shoe for your post-sunset treks, or a shift as a restaurant worker.
Black reflective shoes: Black reflective anti-slip shoes like our KINETIC can be a great choice for retail or warehouse workers.
Athletic reflective shoes: An athletic shoe with reflective material like our high-performance FLUX is a fantastic choice for late-night runs or early morning school drop-offs after Daylight Savings Time kicks in during the fall.
Reflective clothing: Choose a shirt, shorts, hat, or pants with reflective material to pair with your reflective shoes for an extra safety boost.
Shoe Fit Tips
Simplify the process of finding a pair of reflective shoes that fit well with these helpful tips from our KURU GURUs.
Once you’ve picked the reflective shoe style you want, make sure you have the right size for the utmost comfort. Take a peek at guidelines on how to find the right fit at KURU.
In general, we recommend shoes fit snug and secure around the forefoot without tightness or pinching in the toes, heels, or bunion area. Whether you choose a reflective anti-slip shoe or reflective running shoes, your toes should lay flat and feel comfortable. You should be able to put a finger-width of length between the end of your toe and the edge of your shoe.
A Brannock device is an industry standard tool to determine your true shoe size. We recommend getting fitted at your local shoe store for the most accurate sizing, and never hesitate to reach out to a KURU GURU for tips on finding the fit for you!

Features of Reflective Shoes & Finding the Best Fit
Here’s what to look for when searching for the best reflective shoes for you.
Reflective heel strip: Oftentimes reflective material shoes will add a strip of material that can reflect light, rather than the entire shoe being reflective. Look for shoes with a strip of reflective material—such as a reflective heel strip—to help boost your safety.
Superior arch support: No matter how reflective your shoe is, you need proper arch support to last on your feet. Choose a shoe that includes an insole that curves and forms to your arch to help support your plantar fascia.
Shock-absorbing cushion: Fly through your workout—or your late-night dog walk—with shock-absorbing foam, such as EVA foam or polyurethane foam. Since you’ll likely use a reflective shoe outdoors, superior cushion can help reduce impact on hard, outdoor surfaces like concrete.
FAQS
Answers to the most frequently asked questions are just a click away.
What are reflective shoes?
+-
Reflective shoes are footwear that include a strip of material designed to reflect light. This simple feature can offer better visibility in dim light, helping you stay safe.
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.
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.
