Most Comfortable Sneakers
Built with our revolutionary technology for superior arch support, cushion, and dynamic heel flexing with each step.
Sneakers are about as iconic of a shoe as you can get. Comfortable and easy, many sneakers can be dressed up or dressed down to match almost any outfit.
But not every sneaker is created equal—especially when it comes to all-day comfort. Many sneakers come flat on the inside, not providing the contour or support your foot truly needs.
KURU sneakers are made differently. Designed with the natural curves of your feet in mind, KURU shoes bring cushion, arch support, and patented heel protection to create some of the best sneakers for plantar fasciitis and foot pain on the market.
Whether you’re looking for classic white leather sneakers or a statement pink sneaker, KURU’s comfortable styles can keep you living the life you love.

"Excellent sneaker!!
I purchased the Atom and the Kala sandal. I have terrible heel pain - screaming pain. I’ve tried other different brands - none of which gave me relief BUT NOW I’m in love and gratitude! Both the sneaker and the sandal are extremely comfortable. More importantly, after only two days, my heel feels better. I ended the day with only slight pain in my foot instead of excruciating pain. Seriously, I can’t believe what a difference the Kuru shoes have made in only 2 days! I look forward to a month from now when perhaps I might be completely pain free. I ordered two more pairs today: another sandal in a different color and the slipper."

Casual wear: Stylish sneakers like our ATOM for women and men make a perfect shoe to wear with jeans and a T-shirt, athletic pants, or casual leggings.
Gym sesh: Perfect to wear with your gym clothes, an athletic sneaker like the FLUX for women and men pairs well with almost any athletic or athleisure outfit.

Shoe Care Tips
We take a look at helpful tips and suggestions to keep your favorite footwear in tip-top form.
Tip #1: Protect your sneakers from accidental spills and wet weather with a preventive spritz of KURU Shield, our shoe protector spray. This water-repellent layer works on all shoe materials and helps safeguard your footwear from excess water and dirt.
Tip #2: Refresh a tired pair of sneakers with our KURU Shoe Cleaning Kit. Equipped with an all-material shoe cleaner, cleaning brush and microfiber cloth, this kit ensures you can make your shoes look like you just bought them—over and over again.
Tip #3: Allow your sneakers to dry out between workout sessions, away from sunlight. Sweat and sunlight can each prematurely break down materials, so giving shoes some breathing room in the shade after being worn each day can help them stay fresh.
Tip #4: Wear socks with your sneakers. Socks provide a barrier against sweat and bacteria, so it doesn’t all land in your shoes. Keeping bacteria and sweat at bay can help extend the life of your footwear and reduce the risk of odor.
