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!

Well, this review has us kicking up our heels! We're so glad your KURU Guru made the exchange process a walk in the park and that you felt like you were chatting with an old friend along the way. While the first pair was a little big, it sounds like we got you one step closer to the perfect fit.

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!

Outstanding company and great customer service

Kurus shoes, sneakers and sandals have dramatically changed my ability to walk long distances without pain. Their customer service is as great as their shoes. This has been the easiest experience working with customer service that I've had from any company I've used before. They quickly solved my problem and they were so helpful throughout.

I highly recommend them!

Immediate help via Text is wonderful

Immediately reached out because the shoes received were too small. Wanted to do an exchange. The agent who helped me was fast and direct with helping me get everything processed. Appreciate being able to text and not having to actually speak to a person.

I received my new shoes on Sunday. Today (Tuesday) I noticed one of the string loops had detached. I sent a text with pics, and the response was amazing...new pair of shoes are on the way.

Good shoes

Good shoes, but I wish the company made their insole replacement policy clear. Is it really free insoles for life? How often, once a year?

Unprompted review
KURU Footwear logo

Reply from KURU Footwear

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you're enjoying your shoes. We understand the insole replacement policy can raise questions, and we'd be happy to clarify. Our replacement insole program is designed to help you get the most out of your KURU shoes for as long as you're wearing them. While there isn't a strict annual limit, we typically provide replacement insoles as needed, usually one set per pair at a time. For example, if you've had your shoes for several years and need a fresh set of insoles periodically, we're happy to help. Any of our GURUs would be glad to explain the program in more detail by email, phone, chat, or text whenever you have questions.

I love this company

I love this company, they are always friendly, willing to help and solve any problems. The website is easy to use with important information regarding the type of shoes, wish the prices were a little less expensive especially now when everything is so high.
I have been a customer for years and will continue because of the quality of the shoes.

An honest return policy

Video was helpful … I felt good about the product and my purchase. Unfortunately the fit just wasn’t right. I got a quick response and instructions for the return which I really appreciated having dealt with another company that advertised a similar return policy as KURU.
