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.

What are Boots?

Boots are a type of footwear that have been worn for centuries and continue to be popular today. They are characterized by their high shaft that extends above the ankle, and can come in a variety of styles, colors, and materials. From practicality to fashion, boots have played a significant role in history and continue to be a staple in modern-day footwear.

The history of boots can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where they were often worn for protection against harsh climates and rough terrains. In the Middle Ages, boots were worn by knights and soldiers for both practicality and as a symbol of status. Over time, boots have evolved to serve different purposes and have become an essential item in the wardrobes of people all over the world.

We'll take a closer look at the significance of boots in both fashion and functionality.

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.

Why Others Love KURU

LUNA Chelsea Boot. I got these boots and so happy I did. Super cute! You can wear them with pants, dresses, whatever you want because they are light and comfortable. Very happy to have them.

Violet B.

I love these boots! So comfortable, no breaking in time. These are my 2nd pair. I wear them all day, every day. These have healed my very bad plantar fasciitis in a few months when custom orthotics did not work. I don’t know how that is even possible, but these boots are a true lifesaver for me. And they look good too. Thank you!

eblmnop

So comfortable straight from the box. I bought these shoes just under a month ago for work. I am typically walking on concrete floors all day long (10 miles a day average) and my knees and back feel so much better already. I definitely will be buying more Kurus after this purchase.

Sleepy Mike

Fantastic boot! These are worth every penny. I am new to hiking (my daughter convinced me I would like it) and bought these based on a lot of research for hiking with occasional Plantar Fasciitis. They are incredible. I followed the break in rules strictly.
