How to Pair Your Shoes for Standing All Day and When to Wear Them
Wondering how to style your outfit with shoes for all-day standing? Our KURU GURUs outline the best ways to wear them below.
Whether you need to stand all day for work or for a trip to an amusement park, here’s a few ways to style some of KURUs best shoes for standing all day on concrete.
Business-casual environments: Many of KURU’s styles, like our men’s PACE or women’s LUNA, feature stylish designs that suit the office just as easily as a dinner out afterwards. And with our built-in technology in every pair, standing all day just got less painful.
Casual-dress work settings: Whether you’re a healthcare worker, a food service worker, or working in a hardware or grocery store, you need a shoe that can keep up for the many miles you log in a day. Athletic shoes like the QUANTUM, outdoor boots like QUEST, or lifestyle boots like TEMPO can help keep you supported for even an extra-long shift.
Long-distance travel: Athleisure attire is a smart go-to choice for many while traveling. It’s simple to style, comfy, and stylish for long days of standing and walking. Our ATOM or FLUX pair perfectly with sweats, joggers, and jeans alike.
Amusement park days: For long play days on your feet, try a versatile court shoe like our ROAM. Or when you want a little extra breathing room for your feet try an active sandal like our TREAD or a sandal with a heel strap like our LETTI.
Shoe Care Tips for the Best Shoes for Standing All Day
Get the most out of your shoes with our shoe care tips! From cleaning to protecting, we have everything you need to keep your shoes in great condition.
Tip #1: Protect your standing shoes from wet conditions with a preventive spritz of KURU Shield, our proprietary blend of shoe protector spray. This water-repellent layer works on all shoe materials and helps safeguard your footwear from the elements.
Tip #2: Refresh an extra-loved pair of walking shoes with our KURU Shoe Cleaning Kit.. Equipped with an all-material shoe cleaner, cleaning brush and microfiber cloth, this kit helps your shoes last.
Tip #3: Allow your footwear to dry out between uses, away from sunlight. Sweat and sunlight can prematurely break down materials. Giving your footwear some breathing room after each use can help your shoes last longer and stay fresh.
Tip #4: Always wear socks with your closed-toed shoes. Socks can help reduce your risk of blisters and create a barrier against sweat and bacteria. Keeping bacteria and sweat at bay can help extend the life of your footwear and reduce the risk of odor over time.
Features of the Best Shoes for Standing All Day
Find out what features to look out for in a shoe built for long hours on your feet.
Features to Look for in a Shoe for All-Day Standing:
Durable base and a wide toe box: When standing or walking all day, you’ll want a shoe that can support your body for the long haul. A sturdy rubber sole with a wide toe box allows for ample support and extra room to allow your feet to expand throughout the day.
Quality arch support: Supportive shoes that hug and support the contours of your foot can help treat plantar fasciitis and keep you walking for long hours.
Cushioned shock absorption: Shock-absorbing cushion can help absorb impact to protect your bones, joints, and ligaments.
Breathable upper: When you’re on your feet for long hours, your feet need to be able to breathe to keep excessive sweat at bay.
Deep heel cup: A deep heel cup can help support a more healthy alignment in your feet and ankles, which can relieve pressure across the several main joints of your body.
Proper fit: Be sure you feel comfortable in your shoe from the moment you put it on. Even minor squeezing or pinching will only get worse with long hours on your feet.

"Saving my feet . . .
I absolutely love these shoes! I'm a 6th-grade teacher (plus a long-time distance runner) who is on his feet all day, and they have been a life saver for me. My high arches have been causing a problem, and just after one week, I can feel a major difference."
