Amazing customer service

This company’s customer service is outstanding! I had a small issue with one shoe popping when I walk. I contacted Kuru and my issue was handled immediately. Kuru stands behind their products and honors their warranty without making one jump through hoops.

Great service

Well, for a start, the shoes are great, and they do actually help, or at least they did for me. I purchased some for my brother's birthday. The package got lost in transit, and they are sending another pair without question. I like that.

Great customer service and care

These shoes provide great support for my heal bone spur issue, as I have three pairs. The pickleball shoes had a premature wear issue on the soles. My conversion and subsequent Warrenty submission was met with immediate resolution. Great understanding and communication from Lindee in customer service.
