Your Guide to the Best Shoes for Aging Feet: Support and Style at Every Step

Discover how the right footwear can keep you moving comfortably and confidently.

Overview

Aging doesn’t mean you have to give up on style or comfort, especially when it comes to footwear. The right shoes can help you maintain mobility, enhance stability, and support overall foot health—allowing you to stay active and independent for longer.

This guide simplifies the process of choosing footwear for aging feet by highlighting the key features to look for, such as arch support, shock absorption, and slip-resistant soles. Learn how thoughtful design elements can improve your comfort and make daily tasks easier without sacrificing style.

Whether you’re looking for supportive walking shoes, easy slip-on options, or a blend of both, this guide is here to help you find footwear that fits your unique needs. Step confidently into every stage of life with the support and style your feet deserve.

  • Seniors

    We’re guessing even Grandpa and Grandma don’t want to hear the words “old man shoes” or “old lady shoes” when describing their footwear. But since many orthopedic footwear options pay more attention to comfort than style, there can be a bit of a stereotype.

    Whether you’re shopping for yourself, Dad, or Grandma, finding easy slip-on shoes for seniors can be an undertaking—especially if you want a cushioned footbed and arch support along with them.

    KURU offers some of the best shoes for seniors with anti-slip or slip-on options, shock-absorbing cushion, superior arch support, and deep heel cup that can help promote stability and alignment.

    Just because the number on the calendar has changed doesn’t mean your feet can’t stay feeling a little younger.

  • Adults

    Once we reach adulthood, a lot of things change. These include our responsibilities, personality, fashion style, and yes—even shoes.

    You face an incredible range of shoe options, from regular adult dress shoes and sports shoes to more niche choices, like adult water shoes or yoga shoes. All these mean that you have your work cut out for you if you’re looking for the best shoes for adults.

    So, what exactly is it you need if you want the best? When it comes to adult shoes, you need to look for the best fit, maximum comfort, good flexibility, and superior support. Combined, these three factors will ensure optimum foot health—something you can never discount when you’re an adult.

    Lucky for you, that’s exactly where KURU shoes shine: comfort, arch support, and shoe design engineered to fight foot pain.

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.

5 Stars. Amazing. My feet are going kaput at my age, and these shoes truly feel good. They’re also adorable. So glad I waited (forever) for my size to come in."

Amy

Absolutely perfect! I have tried so, so many shoes and spent so much money! ATOM WIDE came to my life in the wrong size, as I kept wearing a size 10. With age my arch fell and now I know I am an 11 wide. What a relief! Since I got my ATOM WIDE, my feet are happy and very comfortable. No more pain and discomfort. The magic of KURU is real!"

Miriam R.

Fortunate Feet. My podiatrist said that I had the flattest feet he has ever seen and was amazed that I was in the Army in the 60's. In addition, I have bone spurs and arthritis in my feet and ankles. I ask much of my feet playing golf regularly and being a Senior Olympic pickleball medalist in singles (gold) and doubles (bronze). Finding a shoe that doesn't negatively affect one or more of my ailments is a true find. Fortunately, the QUANTUM 2 WIDE is very comfortable and I'm extremely pleased with them."
