Guide to Shoe Widths: Sizes & Measurement
Overview
Shoe width is a critical yet often overlooked factor in achieving the perfect fit. The width of a shoe directly impacts how well it accommodates your foot’s unique shape, from the ball to the heel. Shoes that are too narrow can lead to pinching and discomfort, while overly wide shoes may compromise stability and alignment.
For those with unique foot shapes, finding the right fit can be challenging. Whether dealing with pinched bunions, slipping heels, or shoes that feel too loose, understanding how widths are measured and how they affect your comfort is essential. A proper fit can help alleviate these frustrations, promoting better posture and long-term foot health.
This guide provides insights into choosing the right shoe width, ensuring your footwear supports both comfort and effortless movement—so every step feels just right.

Narrow
Got narrow feet? If so, you’ll need to wear narrow shoes, whether you’re hiking, running errands, playing sports, going to work, or just strolling around the city with your friends. In particular, you’ll have to choose narrow width hiking boots, narrow width tennis shoes, narrow sandals, or narrow width casual shoes.
Wearing the wrong type of shoes, especially ones that are too big or wide, will just end in discomfort, ingrown nails, calluses, Morton’s neuroma, and other foot issues.

Medium
Feet come in a wide range of different shapes and sizes, and so should shoes! If you’ve been consistently experiencing foot pain, it might not be because of the length of time you’ve been wearing your shoes or the physical activity you’re doing in them—it might be because you’re not wearing shoes designed to comfortably fit your feet.
Most of the time, if your shoes are feeling cramped, you’ll default to a bigger size. What you should really be doing, however, is looking for a size that fits your width—like our medium width shoes at KURU. Our shoes are designed to be the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever own, with their winning combination of support, stability, and of course, stylishness.
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.
