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!

Had an issue..they fixed it fast
I had an issue with one of my shoes being incorrectly stitched and kept stabbing my toes, I contacted customer service to see what I should do, in less than 48hours I was reached out to by multiple people that worked together to rectify the situation and get a new pair sent out to me. They were polite, quick and caring.

Several shoes and the sandal I looked…
Several shoes and the sandal I looked at were not available in size 7, 7.5, nor 8. This has happened a number of times when I have shopped online. I do appreciate the bot advice and verification, and the follow up I have received to my email, and am very happy being able to buy a 2nd pair of shoes of the same kind as my first pair. For me, I cannot walk in what is considered a platform sole, so immediately I bypass those, nor do I like hiking shoes, I already have what will last for years. Thank you for the customer support service you give your clients.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for being a returning customer!
We're delighted to hear you've found another pair you love and that our customer support team has been helpful along the way.
We also appreciate you sharing your experience with sizing availability. Sandals are currently only offered in whole sizes, so we generally recommend sizing up from a 7.5 to an 8. At the moment, the only sandal styles unavailable in size 8 are the brown CODA Aika and the LOMA Tila, which is one of our platform styles.
We took a close look at our current inventory and, outside of Last Chance styles that are being discontinued, only two shoe styles currently have a single colorway unavailable in size 7.5 or 8. In other words, nearly every active shoe style is available in your size today.
Since platform soles and hiking shoes aren't what you're looking for, it may be that finding the right style is proving more challenging than finding the right size. Our GURU Team would love to help narrow down the options and point you toward styles that fit your preferences. You can reach us anytime at gurus@kurufootwear.com.
Thank you again for your kind words and for letting us put our best foot forward for you!

Well, that sounds like a perfect fit! We're thrilled the exchange process was quick and easy. Getting you into the right pair shouldn't feel like a marathon, so we're glad everything stepped into place smoothly. Thanks for sharing the love, and we hope your new shoes are a sole-mate match.

My sneakers are amazingly comfortable but they were a little too big. I called and was connected with a Kuru Guru who made the whole exchange process very simple. It was like talking to a long time good friend. Kuru provides great quality products and customer service that is second to none. I highly recommend Kuru and will definitely be buying more!

Thank you for the kind words about both our shoes and our customer service. Knowing you'd recommend KURU and plan to come back for more is the kind of compliment that keeps us putting our best foot forward. We can't wait to help you find your next sole-mate!

I LOVE my KURU KINETIC 2.0 shoes!
I LOVE my KURU KINETIC 2.0 shoes! I have never worn more comfortable and supportive shoes. My feet, knees and lower back do not hurt, nor feel any discomfort. My only request is that the designers could create a shoe that feels like KINETIC 2.0 that is a dressier shoe that I could wear to church, the temple, and fancy occasions. (When I wear different shoes for dressier occasions, my feet, knees and lower back suffer.)

Wow, this review has us walking on air! We're thrilled to hear your KINETIC 2.0s have been a game-changer for your feet, knees, and lower back. Knowing you're able to stay comfortable throughout your day is exactly what we strive for, and feedback like yours puts a real spring in our step.
We also love your suggestion for a dressier shoe with KINETIC 2.0-level comfort. We know how tough it can be to switch into formal shoes when you've found something that works so well. We'll be sure to pass your feedback along to our product team. Thanks for sharing the love and for being part of the KURU family!
