Best Shoe Materials for Everyday Wear

There’s a reason Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley sung about blue suede shoes. Suede shoes can offer the perfect balance between comfort and class. Suede shoes are a smart choice for footwear that is as fashionable as it is versatile.

Depending on the type of suede, they can be an excellent choice for almost any occasion. KURU offers a lineup of pain-relieving suede shoes, including women’s and men’s black suede shoes and brown suede shoes, built with superior arch support and cushion in each pair.

Stylish, functional, and durable — that’s what makes rubber shoes universally loved. When you hear or read the words rubber shoes, you likely think of athletic rubber sole shoes, not unlike the ones used by basketball players. It’s either that or all-rubber rain boots.

Regardless, both offer a high level of practicality. Rubber soles remain the undisputed best shoe outsole material for most physically demanding jobs. Meanwhile, rubber sole sneakers and slip-ons are favorites of anyone who walks extensively or plays sports.

All-rubber shoes are also experiencing a revival in worldwide fashion trends. Gone are the days when rubber boots were worn just for rainy days. Today, they are worn to make a statement and turn heads.

In short, rubber shoes are a tried and true footwear. And now, KURU has elevated it to even greater heights by incorporating our signature personalized foot comfort in your favorite rubber shoes.

It’s difficult to find a better material for sneakers and running shoes than mesh fabric. It’s no wonder mesh shoes have become so popular. Take a look at anyone jogging, walking, or working out at your local park or gym, and you’ll see most of them wearing comfy and stylish mesh shoes.

Women's and men’s mesh shoes are not only flexible and comfortable, they are also one of the most lightweight and breathable materials—ideal for staying cool while working out.

KURU offers many styles of footwear that feature breathable mesh uppers and our exclusive three-part technology for breathable, cushioned, supportive shoes.

You can’t go wrong with a pair of high-quality leather shoes. Wearing leather shoes can instantly elevate the overall appeal of any outfit. This holds true whether you’re wearing a full formal suit or casual attire.

If you’re no stranger to the aesthetics of leather shoes for men and women, then you’re likely also familiar with the challenges of buying new ones. Leather shoes fresh out of the box can be unforgiving to your feet. Unless you buy a pair with a perfect fit, you may have to deal with some short-term discomfort.

That’s where KURU leather shoes shine—they offer maximum comfort almost right from the get go.

Our leather shoes for women and men come with our signature three-part technology that ensures ample support and flexibility without sacrificing style.

Cotton is a common material used in making all kinds of footwear, especially cotton canvas shoes, cotton tennis shoes, cotton slip-on shoes, and cotton boat shoes. Moreover, these no-fuss shoes don’t need constant care to keep them looking good.

KURU Footwear offers a huge range of cotton shoes for all kinds of events, activities, and preferences.

Cotton is a great material for making breathable shoes that allow air to penetrate our feet and keep them cool even during intense physical activity. You'll find the perfect cotton shoes for you for working out at the gym, intense running sessions, and even for boating and sailing.

Canvas shoes are one of the most beloved styles of footwear around the world. Owning a pair of black or white canvas shoes is a staple for most people. Lightweight, easy to clean, and comfortable to wear—it’s not hard to see why you would want to have a pair yourself.

Canvas shoes are particularly popular among young adults and teens looking for casual, sturdy, and affordable footwear. With the right style and design, a pair of high-quality canvas shoes won’t look out of place when worn with smart casual or office outfits, either.

What’s more, the styles of canvas shoes are universal. It’s hard to find a teenager who doesn’t have a pair of lace-up, high-top black canvas shoes.
