Got narrow feet? If so, you’ll need to wear narrow shoes, whether you’re hiking, running errands, playing sports, going to work, or just strolling around the city with your friends. In particular, you’ll have to choose narrow width hiking boots, narrow width tennis shoes, narrow sandals, or narrow width casual shoes.

Wearing the wrong type of shoes, especially ones that are too big or wide, will just end in discomfort, ingrown nails, calluses, Morton’s neuroma, and other foot issues. At KURU, you can enjoy wearing narrow width shoes as our collection is engineered for comfort. Each pair of narrow shoes matches the shape of your foot, helping you to move freely while experiencing the best cushion and maintaining natural posture.

Moreover, KURU’s narrow shoes feel like a gentle hug for your heels. With increased cushion and zoned support, wearing your narrow shoes helps you avoid foot problems and rather protect your feet’s long-term health.

Feet come in a wide range of different shapes and sizes, and so should shoes! If you’ve been consistently experiencing foot pain, it might not be because of the length of time you’ve been wearing your shoes or the physical activity you’re doing in them—it might be because you’re not wearing shoes designed to comfortably fit your feet.

Most of the time, if your shoes are feeling cramped, you’ll default to a bigger size. What you should really be doing, however, is looking for a size that fits your width—like our medium width shoes at KURU. Our shoes are designed to be the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever own, with their winning combination of support, stability, and of course, stylishness.
