Instant relief for my heel pain
Unpacked the Moment sliders and put them on. Was expecting rigidity, forced remodeling of the feet. What I got instead was gentle but controlled cushioning of my painful heel. Walked around with more confidence and no pain the first day! Will be purchasing other types of shoes in future.

What a fantastic first impression! We're thrilled to hear the MOMENT sliders delivered comfort right out of the box and provided the gentle, controlled cushioning your heel needed. There's nothing better than being able to walk with more confidence and less pain from day one.

I've been searching for shoes to help with plantar fascitis
I've been searching for shoes to help with plantar fasciitis and I am so grateful to have found KURU. This company's shoes are high quality and address pain issues. Also, the shoes are great looking too! Their website includes a wealth of information about the shoes, how to break them in, as well as, information and stretches for different pain problems. They helped me get my life back. Much appreciated.

Good shoes
I have purchased before but this time the shoes were a little tight. You didn’t have a wide in the shoe I wanted but sent a refund quickly. I will be ordering others.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We understand that humor is subjective, and not every advertisement will resonate with every viewer.
The commercial you're referring to is intended as satire. Satire takes an outdated stereotype and pokes fun at it to make a larger point. In this case, the message is that our customers of all ages are active, stylish, mobile, and living life on their own terms, and that our shoes help support that lifestyle.
That said, we recognize that comedy doesn't always land the same way for everyone, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know how it came across to you. We'll be happy to pass your feedback along to our marketing team for consideration.

KURU IS OUTSTANDING
I have been a Kuru customer since 2025, and have currently ordered my fifth pair (each a different style and fit). I have returned three pair for various reasons and have found their return process easy and hassle free, One can ask the on-line catalog "Guru" any questions that may come to mind and get very good answers. If further help is needed, one can email or phone the company and get more information than is available from the catalog "Guru". Kuru now offers a 91 day "trial wear" policy with return, exchange, or refund choices (other competitors only offer 30 -30 days) Another big benefit is that one can earn KuruCash points for their purchases, reviews, referrals and even for a birthday all of which can be used to reduce the cost of a new purchase. This firm is highly reputable, has QUALITY products, and OUTSTANDING service. I have not received anything for my review, and I submit it only because am one of Kuru's many very satisfied customers .

Now that's our kind of email exchange! You brought a specific question, our team laced up their detective shoes, tracked down the answer, and got you the info you needed.
We're thrilled to hear the response was helpful and informative. At KURU, we believe good customer service should be a lot like a great pair of shoes: supportive, reliable, and never leaving you hanging by a thread.
Thanks for taking a moment to give our team a shoutout. It means a heel of a lot!

While we’re sorry the sizing didn’t work out, we’re really glad our KURU Team was able to make the return process smooth and helpful for you. Nothing’s more frustrating than a shoe fit mismatch, so we’re happy they took the time to answer your questions and help get everything sorted quickly.
Sometimes finding the right size is just part of the “sole-searching” journey, and we appreciate you giving us a try!
