Great shoes, great customer service !
I decided to try the LOMA Jarvi sandal as cute summer work shoe, I am a hairstylist and can be on my feet for up to 6-8 hours straight. These are so comfortable! They keep me balanced, give me a little height and I don’t feel the aching that I normally do at the end of the day.
I decided to order the other color and use my points when purchasing them. I noticed that the points were still pending so I called customer service. I got someone on the phone right away, no prompts or being redirected to a website and she was super friendly and helpful and cleared my points so I could immediately use them.
They are a little pricey, however these will be my go to shoes for work and regular wear, the never ending hunt is over so it’s totally worth it !

Easy returns
I ordered a pair of Atom2 sneakers and a pair of Moment slides. I love the slides but wasn’t sure about the sneakers. They were so kind about returning the sneakers even though I no longer had the box and wore them one time for a few minutes. Not many customer services are that accommodating and I appreciate it.

Quality issue, solution surpassed expectations
Kuru responded quickly to an email I sent on a holiday Friday. I sent pictures of a minor defect in my new shoes and they immediately replaced them—generated a new order without me even having to return the shoes. I noticed the issue on the first wearing and simply reached out to see if this was a normal issue or a defect. I will donate the original pair. Very impressive customer support. And so pleasant to work together.

Returns are truly simple
The return for my husband's trial of a boot that did not work for him was handled very quickly. I was happy to receive the gift card for buying a pair of the Ridge hikers today.
I was also very pleased to see how fast they shipped and how soon to expect them. I wear Tread everyday right now, so look forward to the hikers for fall.

It’s great to hear you’re enjoying your TREADs daily and getting ready for your RIDGE hikers for fall. We hope they’re just as comfortable and reliable for you!
Rejects? Very uncomfortable?
This has to be a reject orthopedic shoe brand, as I literally had trouble even finding them online after wearing a pair for a day. (I don’t even know where these came from, as I’d never pay such price for shoes, but they are horrible.) Supposedly, they’re great for arch support, the out edge of the shoe (essentially where the seams come together) are just straight uncomfortably. And, of the hard sole leaves a lot to be desired. — I tried them for a few hours, going to the movies in them. Now, their up for grabs online, for less than half their retail price.

Incredible customer service
I had purchased the Kuru Draft 2 SmokeyGrey-Chestnut slipper in size 8 which was too large for my feet. Upon messaging Kuru help I received an immediate response with a link to return my shoes. I did that. Within days I received size 7.5. Even that was loose around my heels. I called the help line but they were closed for the weekend. Their system detected the missed call and sent me an email. The Kuru help guru recommended I buy another pair with full heel cover. I was impressed. I am going to try their suggestion and hope it will fit.

I have recommended Kuru dozens of times…
I have recommended Kuru dozens of times to folks with foot issues. The customer service is top-notch. The website is user-friendly and, while the prices are not inexpensive, they are not unreasonable given the quality and design. I live in my slippers when I am in the house and I am convinced it has "cured" my plantar fasciitis. My only "complaint" is the lack of anything pretty. I think some of the designs could be made much more attractive. For example, the best-looking (non-orthopedic looking) products, are the Roam sneaker and Loma sandal. I have both in black and white. A patent leather or a leopard print, for example, would upgrade them and make them look more hip. I encourage you to design additional products like these two that, again, look less orthopedic and fuddy-duddy for women who have pain but are fashionable.

Kuru pickleball shoes are the best!
I love Kuru pickleball shoes! This is a wonderful company with great customer service, too. They did not hesitate to help me out when I had a defect with my first pair of shoes. And, yes, I plan to stick with this shoe because I love the grip of the court, the ease that I can change direction and get to the net, not to mention how sturdy and comfortable they are.

Return request
I bought 2 pairs of shoes and unfortunately 1 pair was too tight. I was unable to find my order information to start a return, but my email request was answered promptly (actually within minutes!). The return process was super easy! Very refreshing as I plan to continue ordering from this company in the future.

The customer service is fantastic! Prompt, courteous and the best!
Love the way we can slip into and slip off the shoes - good design in that aspect.
The shoes are not very stylish, and not noticeably more pain-relieving than the competition.
The delivery time is not good - like as though the shoes are being shipped from overseas.
Choice of models - like "wide" is mostly unavailable. The toe-box feels less wide than even the regular Altria, Hoka and Topo.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're delighted to hear you've had great experiences with our Guru team and that you enjoy the easy on-and-off design of your shoes.
We're sorry to hear the style, fit, and pain relief didn't fully meet your expectations. While many customers find relief with KURU, we know every foot is different, and what works well for one person may not work the same for another.
As for shipping, most orders arrive within about 8 days, though international deliveries can take closer to two weeks and may occasionally be delayed by holidays or carrier volume. We also understand how frustrating it can be when your preferred size or wide width isn't available.
If your purchase was made within the last 91 days, we'd be happy to help you explore a return or exchange. Please reach out to our Guru team at gurus@kurufootwear.com, and we'll do our best to help find a better fit.

Sudden onset of Plantar Fasciitis…
A sudden onset of Plantar Fasciitis stopped me from walking with my 88 yr old father early every morning until I came across KURU shoes. I gave them a try refusing to resort to injections & may I dare say miraculously I was walking again with no pain. After using the cloud sneaker daily for 6 months (white color hold up fantastic) one of my lace straps popped out. I reached out to KURU stating my situation, was forwarded to a KURU GURU 😘 and sent a replacement pair. My phalanges thank you.
Amazing products supported by exemplary customer service.
Thank you KURU💞🦶

Thank you for sharing your story! We're so happy KURU helped you get back to your morning walks with your father without having to resort to injections. Those moments are truly special.
We're also glad our Guru team could help when your CLOUD's lace loop gave out. While that's not what we expect from our shoes, we're happy we could get a replacement pair headed your way.
Thank you for your kind words about both our footwear and customer service. Wishing you many more comfortable, pain-free walks ahead!
