Recommended by Spinal Specialist

Great shoes, helped with plantar fasciitis, took about a week to get broke in and comfortable, but they are great.

Best work shoes

I work as a massage therapist and I'm on my feet most of the day, not only do these shoes help with my foot fatigue, they've vut my chronic low back and hip pain significantly, I recommend them to anyone who spends alot of time on their feet.

Amy S.

Love them!

I've been doing security work for eight years and these are by FAR the most comfortable work shoes I have ever worn. I've worn them for three weeks now and I feel as though I could wear them and work another five to seven years and I'm 67 years old. Thanks KURU!

FAQs

While our shoes are not currently considered orthopedic by a medical standard, we have received thousands of positive reviews from customers who say their KURU shoes with good arch support helped reduce or eliminate their pain—from plantar fasciitis to bunions.

Each of our shoes feature a wide toe box, superior arch support, shock absorption and patented heel technology, engineered for pain relief.
KURU offers a 'No-Hassle' policy to ensure you get the perfect KURU fit with free shipping, exchanges and returns for 45-day in the US.
To learn more, please visit the KURU Return Policy page.
Some customers experience tenderness when they first start wearing a new pair of KURUs. That’s ok! 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.
Your body may need time to adjust to the new levels of anatomical support you experience with our patented KURUSOLE technology. Our comfortable shoes are also designed to mold to your unique foot shape for the perfect fit, which takes a bit of a break-in period.
