Discover the Science of Comfort with KURU's Patented Technology

A trio of technologies to fight foot pain.

Overview

If you found this page, you probably have foot pain—and you’ve probably tried your share of plantar fasciitis shoe inserts, orthopedic shoe inserts, gel sole inserts, or shoe pads.

But what if you could get orthopedic-level support for painful conditions like plantar fasciitis in a stylish pair of shoes? How would it feel to skip the hassle of moving insoles around and simply head out the door knowing you have the best shoe inserts already built-in?

Our job is to make it easy for you to fight foot pain. That’s why we include these three game-changing technologies in every pair of KURUs.

  • ULTIMATE INSOLE for Customized Comfort

    At KURU, we take your comfort seriously. And we understand that when you step inside a shoe, your feet’s first point of contact is the insole. Every pair of KURUs includes our ULTIMATE INSOLE, so you can skip traditional, thin inserts or expensive orthotics.

    ULTIMATE INSOLES feature dual-density foam that blends areas of superior cushion with firmer zones placed strategically for high-quality arch support.

    Plus, the advanced foams we use mold to the unique shape of your feet over time using your body heat. The result is a superior fit for your unique needs, and all-day comfort that relieves pain day after day.

  • KURUSOLE for Dynamic Heel Support

    Imagine what you could do without foot pain. At KURU, our mission is to help you get there. That’s why we designed our patented KURUSOLE technology with your body’s natural biomechanics in mind.

    Your heel is subject to intense pressure and stress with every step you take. When your heels hurt, you may alter the way you walk to spare the sensitive areas—which can cause problems with alignment. Those issues may lead to foot pain, which can radiate to other parts of your body, including your knees and hips.

    These ripple effects can make it hard to find the cause of your pain, so fixing your footwear can be a crucial first step. KURUSOLE cups and supports the fat pad beneath your heel to maximize cushion and protect your feet.

    This tech—combined with the shock-absorbing cushion of KURUCLOUD and superior arch support of ULTIMATE INSOLE—offers Pain Relief Beyond Belief.

  • KURUCLOUD Absorbs Shock & Improves Alignment

    What could you do in a day if your feet didn’t hurt? There’s a reason we’ve named our base layer KURUCLOUD—you might just feel like you’re walking on air after you switch to wearing KURUs.

    Just like a home’s foundation is the starting point for a stable, supportive structure—the midsole of a shoe is the key to supporting you and absorbing shock. The midsole is the part of the shoe between the outsole (the part on the bottom that contacts the ground) and the insole (the part inside the shoe your foot rests on).

    Inspired by performance running shoes, the lightweight EVA foam of KURUCLOUD is engineered for your comfort. It delivers superior cushion and shock-absorption with every step.

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.

My new daily favorites. I have had these shoes for a couple of weeks and find them to be very comfortable. I bought them because of my sore heels from PF and they have performed better than expected. The gel in the soles offer good cushioning, as well as, good arch support. I have since recommended Kuru to several friends and am a new fan."

Love the KURU sole technology! I’m a healthcare student and was in need of a good pair of shoes to wear around the hospital for my 12 hour shifts. I wore my regular gym shoes and my feet and back instantly started hurting about 3 hours into my shift. My coworker recommended these shoes so I decided to give them a try. They are really stylish and comfortable! I did over 900 hours of clinical work in 6 months with no foot or back pain!! I’m buying another pair just so I can have a different color I love them so much! I recently bought a pair for my boyfriend who is a bartender. Also complains of sore feet. Two customers for life!"
