Many of us spend hours each day walking or standing on hard, flat surfaces, which can lead to foot pain and, eventually, back discomfort. The right shoes can make a big difference, offering the support and cushioning needed to maintain comfort and reduce strain throughout the day.

Instead of relying on flimsy inserts or expensive custom orthotics, KURU shoes are designed with three layers of unique technology. Each layer supports your foot health, helping prevent knee, hip, and back pain caused by walking on hard surfaces.

Our patented KURUSOLE technology cups your heels and flexes with each step, protecting the natural shape of your heel. This support is key for managing back pain since foot health plays a vital role in overall body alignment.

Our KURUCLOUD midsole cushions your entire body, absorbing impact so you can feel light on your feet. Lastly, our premium ULTIMATE INSOLES offer dual-density arch support, adapting to your foot shape to provide personalized comfort. Experience relief with every step in KURU's supportive shoes designed to ease back pain.

Key Features of Women's Shoes for Back Pain

When choosing shoes to help with back pain, it's important to consider features that offer real benefits. Here are a few key aspects to keep in mind:

Arch Support: Proper arch support helps distribute body weight evenly, reducing strain on your lower back and improving posture. This can make a big difference during long periods of walking or standing.

Cushioning: Ample cushioning in the heel and midsole absorbs shock from walking, minimizing impact on your spine and joints. This added comfort can prevent existing back pain from worsening.

Heel Height: Low to moderate heels (around 1 inch) promote better posture and spine alignment, reducing strain on your lower back.

Lightweight Design: Lightweight shoes help reduce muscle fatigue in your legs and back, making it easier to move comfortably throughout the day.

Stability and Support: A firm heel counter and stable design provide ankle support and help maintain proper alignment, reducing uneven weight distribution that can strain your back muscles.

Since I bought these shoes, I've worn them constantly. They fit like a comfortable glove & make me feel like I'm walking on a cloud.

No more back pain!

These are very comfortable shoes with great arch support. I work a physically demanding job and noticed my back no longer hurting after wearing these all day. If I don't wear them, I have back pain . I won't wear any other shoe now. I got all my coworkers hooked on these and they would agree that these shoes are amazing!"

Happy girl!

My daughter works on her feet all day. She has feet, shin and back pain . She texted me halfway through her shift on the first day of wearing these shoes. Her back and shin pain are gone! Hopefully after breaking them in for a week her foot pain will be gone too!"

No more back pain!

These were exactly what my mother needed to help ease her back pain. We walked 2.5 miles yesterday and it was the furthest she's walked without hurting. Highly recommended KURU! She also has narrow feet and the PIVOTs fit her perfectly!"
