Suggestions

I received a reply for my questions rapidly. They continue with the response until I was satisfied and my concerns were addressed. My feet feel so much better in the pair of shoes I bought. I was wondering if another pair might be a little better. They offered me a honest answer.

Problem resolved

Photo of sneaker on site did not .watch what was received. Had first spoken with one of specialists to reference products on site. Not a random purchase.
Once I had product, expressed deep concern, the situation was resolved.

I had an issue with my shoe

I had an issue with my shoe. I shared my concerns in an email about a ripped hole where the shoe lace belongs. I got a quick response asking for more info to help. When I shared photos, I got an immediate response on how Kuru will fix the problem, which replaced my shoes, without having the hassle of returning my old ones. This was 100% to my satisfaction. Kuru has the best customer service. Thank you.
