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.

Why Others Love KURU

Comfortable right out of the box. I bought these for my husband and he started wearing them around the house and yard right away. He usually gets blisters from new rubber flip-flips but these caused no issues due to the straps being leather inside and out. He loves them!

Most comfortable sneaker. I bought the KURU ROAM in the navy color because I loved the classic look of them in the canvas. I immediately loved them so much that I ordered another pair in the yellow because I was afraid that by next summer they might not be available in that color. They are awesome in every way — comfortable, supportive, and were wear-ready for me with no break-in period — and are so cute!!! If you are looking for a classic sneakers that are kind to your feet, these are the ones.”

Colorado Buyer

Great looking and feeling shoe. I was tired of the white and bright colored tennis shoe look and wanted something that looked different. These fit the bill! Black suede with very little blue/silver accent. They are perfect for a winter look and just a bit dresser for a casual look. Comes with solid black and blue laces. I always buy 1/2 size up for comfort in any temps for walking all day.”
