Enhanced KURUSOLE Support

We've refined our signature KURUSOLE technology with increased TPU height for improved dynamic support and heel cushioning. This patented tech flexes with each step to hug and protect your heels for ultimate pain relief.

Generously Wide Toe Box

We kept what was already working. QUANTUM 2 features famously wide toe boxes, so your toes can lay flat and your bunions can breathe. That means you can say goodbye to a squished forefoot and walk with the stride that nature intended.

Added Breathability

QUANTUM 2’s new open-weave mesh brings increased airflow for the utmost breathability. That means you can stay cool and keep fresh through every walk or workout.

Hugs that Heal

Between plantar fasciitis and bunions, it is nearly impossible to find comfortable shoes. These are THE best shoes! No heel pain, no blisters, and my feet aren’t sore at the end of a long day. I usually walk 4 miles in the am, and then on my feet the rest of the day. Love these shoes!

I am on my third pair of these, and I love the fit and the durability. My heel does not slip, I have enough room for my forefoot, and they last a year of almost daily wear. I suffer from plantar fasciitis for years and before finding these shoes I had so much pain. I love not having to use orthotics or inserts that result in sneakers not fitting correctly.

I love my Quantum 2s. Excellent support, comfy cushion, and perfect fit from the first time I wore them. And, they're cute. I've worn them while sauntering on mountain trails, shopping, and all everyday activities. I bought them for my upcoming trip to Costa Rica; I'm sure they'll keep my feet comfy throughout our asventures there.

I only wore the shoe for a couple hours the first day so I could get used to them. They are very comfortable and supportive. I can now where them a full day and they are still comfortable. Glad I found these shoes. My podiatrist suggested them. I ordered my normal size 8 but had to return for a size 9. To my surprise, I received the exchanged pair on Wednesday after shipping first pair on Monday. That's great service!

Understanding “FIT” notes:

ALL KURU shoes are sold in US sizing. IF the “FIT” note says “1/2 size small”, you should purchase a 1/2 size larger than your normal size (e.g if wear an 8, purchase an 8.5). If the note says “1/2 size big," then purchase a 1/2 size smaller than your normal size.
