What To Look For
Ill-fitting shoes of poor quality are usually what causes pain when walking. As a result, finding shoes that fit well and are made of high-quality materials is important when striving to eliminate pain. Look for shoes made of lightweight materials, support the feet by having support in the insole, feature a sole that's rockered and are styled for multiple uses, not just for walking.
Common Pitfalls
Shoes made of lightweight material may not be as sturdy as others. In addition, walking shoes are not always made of water-repellent materials, and this is especially true of shoes that are made of suede, or suede-like materials. Good walking shoes can also be expensive and if used on a regular basis may not last as long as the purchaser would like.
Where To Buy
In addition to offering walking shoes that eliminate pain, kurufootwear.com offers shoes for heel pain, as well as shoes for travel. They can also be purchased at onlineshoes.com.
Cost
Kuru shoes range in price from $79.97 to $99.97, depending on the style. If ordering from the website, there will be a UPS ground shipping charge, which varies, according to the state the shoes are being shipped to. Shoes will typically ship from Kuru's California warehouse to Salt Lake City, Utah and then to their final destination.
Comparison Shopping
Merrell Casual Shoes for men are comparable to Kuru shoes. Like Kuru, they are lightweight and made of durable materials. Clarks brand Unsolved women's shoes are also comparable to Kuru shoes. They are comfortable, fashionable and made of lightweight materials. All three brands offer support when walking or just running errands.
Accessories
Kuru shoes often do not come with shoe laces, but the types that do have color-coordinated laces that complement the shoe. For example, orange suede Kuru shoes come with light orange laces. When replacing laces, sticking close to the color of the original laces will give the shoes the best look. Sock color should also be taken into consideration.
Insider Tips
Kuru shoes will mold to your heel to provide added comfort and support.
They also feature reinforced arch support.
