Shipping error

For some reason, my order from Kuru was shipped to the Netherlands, instead of the address on the order for Santa Rosa, California. The shipment was returned to Kuru, but no one from Kuru reached out to me to figure out the problem. Your customer service rep was able to ship a second order out quickly with expedited shipping. The sandals didn't fit so I tried to return them, but then the return was showing $0 for the refund. The same cust. serv. rep was able to aid me with a corrected return and was able to give me a store credit for future purchases as well as a full refund. Because of this good service, I'll still be a Kuru customer.

Thank you for giving KURU another chance. We truly value your continued support and look forward to helping you find a pair that’s the perfect fit!

The rep was very knowledgeable!

She had great communication and skills. I could understand everything she was saying. She set up a return for me and made it a breeze! Whereas in a previous phone call with a different rep she made me feel like I may have to jump through hoops to find the correct fedex for my returns.

Being on my eighth pair of KURU shoes

Being on my eighth pair of KURU shoes, I recently had an issue with my newest pair. Von, my customer service representative, was knowledgeable, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and walked me through the warranty process. I did run into a problem uploading my photos through the link, but Caren from the chat team stepped in and took care of everything on her end. The entire process took less than 15 minutes, and that means a lot because everyone’s time is valuable. Excellent customer service from start to finish!
Update: I received my replacement shoes, and I’m back to walking on cloud nine! Thank you for standing behind your products and making the warranty process so easy. This level of customer service is exactly why I’ll keep coming back. I’ll definitely be ordering my 9th pair in a few months. Thank you again!

Thank you for being such a loyal member of the KURU family! Eight pairs is an incredible compliment, and we're so grateful for your continued support. While we're sorry your newest pair had an issue, we're delighted to hear that Von and Caren made the warranty process smooth and efficient. We'll be sure to share your kind words with both of them. Thank you for taking the time to recognize their efforts, and we hope your replacement pair has you back to comfortable steps in no time!

Kuru is always trying to improve and add new things, such as the new color they came out with in their Atom 2, and also Extra Wide. Love this company! Great shoes...I have 3 pair.
I'm also trying to get them to understand a lot of women wear wide, especially women who are pregnant or after, order women and athletes. That's a lot of women!! We would definitely like some of the newer colors in Wide! I would have 5 pairs of shoes instead of 3 right now if that was the case. I got a pair of slip ons, but I can't wear them a long time as they are not wide.. 🙄...DO 🤎 the color!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for being such a loyal member of the KURU family! It means a lot to hear that you're enjoying your ATOM 2s, the new colors, and our Extra Wide options.

We especially appreciate you taking the time to advocate for more Wide styles and colors. We know many customers would love to see our newest colorways offered in Wide, and feedback like yours helps our product team understand just how important that is. We'll be sure your comments are shared with them.

Thank you for your continued support and for already having three pairs. We hope we can earn those other two pairs in the future with even more Wide options!

Slippers extremely comfortable Achilles pain stopped on first step of wearing them. The Atom 2 was snug, I had to exchange for half size bigger. If a person has wide or needs more room half size bigger helps. Shoes feel like you are wearing ortho inserts. Impressive shoe comfort.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear your slippers brought relief to your Achilles pain from the very first step, and that after exchanging for a half size up, your ATOM 2 became a much better fit. We appreciate you sharing your sizing insight as well, as it may help others with wider feet or those looking for a little extra room. Thank you for choosing KURU, and we hope you continue enjoying the comfort and support for many miles to come!
