Aesthetic Shoes For Extraordinary Comfort

Engineered to make you look and feel your best.

Guide

  • Learn About Aesthetic Shoes

  • Choosing Aesthetic Shoes

  • The KURU Difference

Nothing is more annoying than finding a pair of shoes that look perfect, only to find out that it pinches, rub, and cuts into your skin. Imagine struggling halfway through your day, limping around until you get home.

Put your worries aside with KURU footwear—our aesthetic shoes feel as good as they look.

What Makes an Aesthetic Shoe?

Anesthetic shoes should look good but at the same time provide comfort and functionality for their wearers. As such, it will serve other purposes apart from looking great on your feet. If a shoe isn’t designed aesthetically, it will lose the user’s interest the moment they put it on. This is because products that ignore human ergonomics won’t feel good to wear, and will be ignored no matter how stylish it looks.

Fortunately, KURU offers a wide range of aesthetic footwear to choose from, including aesthetic boots, aesthetic sandals, aesthetic black shoes, aesthetic white shoes, aesthetic tennis shoes, and aesthetic running shoes.

Pair Your Aesthetic Footwear

Wondering how to style your aesthetic shoes? Our KURU gurus outline the best ways to wear them below.

For many people, a pair of aesthetic shoes is their go-to wardrobe staple for their standard look since they are surprisingly versatile. No matter where you’re going, aesthetic shoes will work well in all kinds of environments, such as:

  • Black aesthetic shoes for casual Fridays at work
  • Aesthetic brown shoes for a nice cocktail party
  • Cute aesthetic shoes for an intimate night out

Whether you prefer boots to sneakers or the other way around, it’s important to wear the right aesthetic shoe according to your needs and the occasion.

Shoe Care Tips

Follow these simple tips to keep your aesthetic shoes looking their best for years to come.

To provide your aesthetic shoes with the best care possible, be sure to do the following:

  • Use a preventive spritz of shoe protector spray, like our KURU Shield, to protect your aesthetic shoes from wet conditions or spills.
  • Use a horsehair brush to eliminate debris and dirt after use.
  • Wear socks with your shoes to help keep bacteria and odor at bay.
  • Use a shoe horn to protect your shoe when you slip into them.
  • Use a shoe tree to help preserve its shape and extend your shoe’s lifespan.

FAQs

  • Why are my shoes showing wrinkles?

    While we try our best to prevent wrinkles, it’s like a foam to wrinkles when it becomes compressed. This happens with every step and is part of our shoe’s normal wear and tear. There’s no need to worry, it’s simply how our KURUSOLE technology works to give you maximum comfort and isn’t indicative of a break-down or failure.

  • Can I use custom orthotics 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.

Finding the Best Fit

In recent years, aesthetic shoes have become increasingly popular among fashion-conscious individuals. These shoes are often characterized by unique designs, bold colors, and eye-catching details. However, it's important to remember that style isn't everything - finding the right fit is crucial for both comfort and foot health. Here are some tips for finding the best fit when it comes to trending aesthetic shoes:

  • Determine your foot size
    As with any shoe, it's important to know your foot size when shopping for aesthetic shoes. Use a measuring tool to get an accurate measurement, and remember to measure both feet, as they may be slightly different sizes.
    Determine your foot size
  • Consider the shape of your foot
    Some aesthetic shoe styles may not be suitable for certain foot shapes. For example, if you have wide feet, you may want to look for shoes with a wider toe box or adjustable straps.
    Consider the shape of your foot
  • Look for shoes with good support
    Many aesthetic shoes prioritize style over support, but this doesn't have to be the case. Look for shoes with good arch support and cushioning to keep your feet comfortable throughout the day.
    Look for shoes with good support

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.

    KURUSOLE

    Our patented KURUSOLE plate can reduce foot pain, redirect stress, and encourage a healthy gait. It also features a unique design that cups the heel and allows for dynamic flexion with each step, where it provides superior support that helps protect and preserve the heel’s fat pad. As a result, it guides your body to a more natural alignment, which guarantees personalized comfort that can’t be replicated.

    KURUCLOUD

    With our KURUCLOUD midsole, you can enjoy smooth and comfortable strides. Forming the base layer of our three-part technology, KURUCLOUD uses an advanced blend of lightweight and high-grade EVA foams to provide support in every step. This shock-absorbing technology helps to alleviate pressure while offering a soft cushion for comfort that feels like walking on clouds.

    ULTIMATE INSOLE

    Finally, our three-part technology is complete with our ULTIMATE INSOLE, which provides support similar to orthotics without any additional purchases. Made from dual-density polyurethane foam, the ULTIMATE INSOLE offers a superior cushion. This technology also supports any changes to the shoe’s mold as you use it for the first time, and will adjust as needed after every use.

Aesthetics, quality, performance. I had eyeballed my hiking pair for two months. I finally took the plunge and now they’re mine! All my Kurus ALWAYS wear perfectly the first time out. Long hikes—no later lower back aches like other brands!

Great fit!! I have been wearing the atom for a while and live it. It's very comfortable and helps with my planters facilities. So I thought I would give the quantum a try.. It's a great shoe, fit, comfortable, looks good and helps with the old pf. Highly recommended!!!

Phenomenally Supportive Sneaker! I just received my first and new pair of Kuru "Atom" sneakers in the Desert Green to match my Olive Green uniform for work. The color match is perfect and the sneaker itself is phenomenal for those front line healthcare workers like me, on their feet for 10-12 hour shifts. My plantar fasciitis has been relieved by stretching, ice/heat and therapy, but also, further relieved by the super supportive sneaker that gives my foot the proper alignment it needs as I walk through the long days at work. I will definitely not only pass the word to my coworkers at the hospital, but also, purchase a second pair in the same color of Desert Green which matches my Olive Green uniforms beautifully for a professional, aesthetically pleasing and foot supportive shoe! Thank you KURU Team!

As good as advertised... I was a bit hesitant at first to buy because of the cost, but decided to take a risk at least one time to see if they were indeed different than other shoes I have used for years. Right out of the box, I could tell they were far more supportive and of much better construction (I will have to wait to see how they hold up over time). These seem to be constructed of real leather, and thus are aesthetically a good looking semi-dress shoe, with the comfort of an athletic shoe. Based on my experience thus far, I imagine I will be a repeat customer with Kuru.

Perfect! This is my 4th pair of Kuru shoes and I love them as much as ever! Great fit, good support, really comfy, lightweight, and good looking. No complaints at all!
