Elevate Your Style with Versatile Shades and Styles
Green shoes have become increasingly popular in recent years as people look to add more color to their wardrobes. Green is a versatile color that can come in various shades, from emerald to olive, making it easy to pair with different outfits. Green shoes can be worn as a statement piece or as a complement to a neutral outfit.
One of the benefits of green shoes is that they can add a pop of color to any outfit. They are a great option for those who want to experiment with color without being too bold. Green shoes can be worn with neutral colors, such as black, white, or beige, or paired with other bold colors for a more daring look.
Green shoes can also be worn for various occasions, from casual outings to formal events. They are available in different styles, including sneakers, loafers, and dress shoes, making them a versatile option. Green shoes can be paired with jeans, shorts, skirts, and dresses, making them a great addition to any wardrobe.

Shoe Care Tips
Follow these simple tips to keep your green shoes looking their best for years to come.
- First, always familiarize yourself with the material used to make your shoes. Canvas, mesh, and other fabric shoes are generally safe to wash with a gentle soapy solution and a soft brush or soft towel. Meanwhile, washing leather shoes with water will damage them irreparably.
- Even if it’s safe to wash some shoe styles with soap and water, avoid fully immersing your shoes in a tub. Additionally, always check with the brand or manufacturer to see whether they recommend throwing your shoes in the washer or not.
- For KURU green shoes, never put them in your washer or dryer. We recommend investing in a shoe cleaning gel that’s safe for both fabric and leather to save time and cleaning supplies.
- Make your green shoes last longer and get more uses out of them with regular shoe upkeep. Try to clean your shoes thoroughly every two weeks. You can also do it more frequently if you wear your green boots or shoes often.
- Always wipe your shoes after each use, too. This helps prevent any dirt or mud from staining your green shoes permanently.
- To protect your green shoes from dirt, grime, and stains, check out our KURU GURU Shield Protector spray.
The Color Psychology of Green
Learn more about the meanings behind the colors we wear and how we can craft the perfect color palette to accomplish our goals.
As the dominant color in nature, green is often used to represent growth, renewal, plants, the earth, and, of course: our natural environment. Green is used to symbolize harmony and balance. It is also used to promote optimism and hopefulness.
Among all calming colors, green is regarded as the most soothing, restful, and relaxing color for our eyes. This is something backed by science.
Studies also suggest that the color green can help boost positive cognitive outcomes. It may help you improve your memory, enhance problem-solving skills, and promote positive thinking.
In color psychology, personality traits that are tied to the color green include being analytical and logical, strategic thinkers, peacemakers, and independent. Green is also seen as a down-to-earth color.
Green is also the color of comfort and peace. Wearing green can help you give off a relaxing vibe and help make people calmer or less anxious in your presence.
FAQs
-
What should I wear with green shoes?
It all depends on the shade of green shoes you wear. Generally, green pairs well with neutrals like black, white, gray, and creams.
If you’re wearing dark green shoes or olive green shoes, it’s best to wear them with neutrals and earthy colors. These include browns and tans, mustard yellow, deep red, dark or navy blue, and even a deep rose pink.
Lighter or more muted shades, such as sage green shoes or light green sandals, are an easy match with whites, grays, and pastel shades.
-
Can I use custom orthotics with 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 per day around the house in the first couple of weeks as they break in and form to your foot.

Key Considerations Before Making Your Purchase
Are you considering adding green shoes to your wardrobe but unsure if they're the right fit for you? Before making your purchase, it's important to take into account a few key factors. Here are some things you should consider to help you decide if green shoes are the right choice 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.
