The technology behind our KURU all-white shoes emphasizes a perfect ergonomic fit, so you can wear them for any occasion with less pain.

Elevate Your Style with Versatile Shades and Styles

White shoes have been a popular footwear option for decades. They are versatile and can be worn with a variety of outfits, from casual to formal. White shoes come in a range of styles, including sneakers, sandals, and dress shoes, making them suitable for any occasion.

One of the benefits of white shoes is that they can be used to make a statement or add a pop of color to an outfit. They are also a classic choice that never goes out of style, making them a good investment for your wardrobe. White shoes can be paired with neutral colors or bold prints, making them a versatile option.

Another advantage of white shoes is that they can create the illusion of longer legs, which can be especially flattering when wearing skirts or shorts. They can also be used to create a monochromatic look, which is both chic and sophisticated. White shoes can be a great way to elevate any outfit, whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual.

Shoe Care Tips

Follow these simple tips to keep your white shoes looking their best for years to come.

Here are some tips to make your white boots, white sandals, white leather shoes, or white nursing shoes clean and last longer:

  1. Rub, don’t scrub: scrubbing shoes—especially those made from delicate materials like suede or leather—can cause tears and scuffs. This damage is particularly visible on white shoes. If you want to clean your white shoes, rub them gently with a soft cloth or brush instead. For larger stains, use a shoe cleaner and gently apply and wipe off.
  2. Never put your canvas white shoes in a washing machine: it may sound convenient to drop your shoes in the washing machine, but this prolonged spinning motion can risk shortening the life of your shoes or damaging them. It’s best to clean each pair by hand to remove dirt without unnecessary strain.
  3. Regularly apply water-repellent spray: prevention is always better than cure. Instead of repairing already damaged shoes, prolong their condition with water-repellent spray, like kuru shield. This helps protect your footwear against the elements and keep them looking clean and new for longer.

FAQs

  • What should I wear with white shoes?

    As white shoes go well with almost everything, you can wear them with shorts, chinos, black jeans, various colors of trousers, and even a suit. Women can also wear an outfit that combines a casual and elegant look with white shoes and long coats, graphic tees, crop tops, dresses, and ripped jeans.

  • 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 perday around the house in the first couple of weeks as they break in and form to your foot.

Key Considerations Before Making Your Purchase

Wondering if white shoes are the right addition to your wardrobe? Here’s what you need to think about before making a purchase.

  • Design
    When choosing between basic white shoes, luxury shoes, sports shoes, low-top, or high-top white shoes, consider your current wardrobe as well as your preferred style and design.
    Design
  • Fit and size
    The best white shoes for you should fit perfectly and have the right size. Remember that your feet naturally expand throughout the day—especially when it’s hot—so consider this when selecting your white shoes.
    Fit and size
  • Quality
    Whether you’re looking for white leather shoes, white nursing shoes, or white sandals, verify the quality of the pair you’re looking at first. Check the materials used, their durability, sturdiness, grip, flexibility, and more.
    Quality
  • Comfort and support
    Although design is a great factor to consider when choosing white shoes, do not compromise comfort or support. Get a pair that offers superior arch, heel, and ankle support, as well as soft cushioning.
    Comfort and support
  • Style
    The type of white shoes you’ll choose depends on your activities, work, and routine. For example, if you’re into sport-related activities, you’ll need white running shoes, white tennis shoes, or other quality white athletic shoes. If you only need one for short-distance walks, then white sandals would be right for you.

Three Layers of Support

At KURU, we pride ourselves on our unique approach to shoe design. We believe that shoes should be shaped to fit the natural contours of your feet, which is why we create every pair in three distinct support layers, not just an insole.

Our revolutionary ergonomic design starts with a curved footbed and adds unparalleled triple-layer support that includes shock-absorbing KURUCLOUD, heel-cupping KURUSOLE, and arch-supporting ULTIMATE INSOLES. The result? Shoes that are so comfortable you’ll stop thinking about your feet.

  • How KURU brings relief

    KURUSOLE

    Whether you walk, jump, or run, these activities can cause a lot of stress and pressure on your heel. In turn, it will result in foot and even knee and hip pain. Thanks to our KURUSOLE technology, you get the highest level of arch, heel, and ankle support. The shoe considers your body’s biomechanics and dynamically flexes with each step for the utmost heel protection.

My most favorite shoes. I love these shoes–have them in white and get the most compliments on them! they are beyond comfortable and help with arch support, plantar fasciitis, and neuropathy. The most comfortable shoes I own—life-changing.”

Nicole Trani

2nd pair, a perfect fit for my foot and orthotics. This is my 2nd pair, I own the gray on white as well. KURU accepted my Quantum on return as they got too tight and I went back to my Atoms.”

Jtayloe

The perfect Hot Mom sneaker. I bought these in all white. I dress them up with a blazer or a dress and they look great. I also wear them to daycare pickup with matching sweat suits. This is the first time I have bought all white sneakers in years and I love them. They are really comfortable, lots of arch support. This is my first time buying Kuru and I will buy more from here! Fast shipping too was nice.”

Looks Great in White. Comfortable like my other Kuru shoes and stylish in white. I really like the look of these shoes.”

Brett R

Love my PeachPink-White-Gum Breeze! I bought these about a month ago and could not be happier with them. I get compliments every time I wear them. The color and fit just makes me happy. At first, I thought the arch was a little high, but now they have molded to my feet and are very comfortable. No uncomfortable or rubbing spots. Soft leather. Great slip-ons.”
