Kuru Shoes Review [2023 Models] Chicane Supportive Trail Hiker
Kuru Chicane hiking shoe
I’m thinking of a four letter shoe brand that starts with “K.” They make ultra-comfortable active footwear. Up until a month ago, I would have answered “Keen” hands down. That was until I met Kuru shoes.

I was getting cocky about my feet this summer. Despite the rheumatoid arthritis, my feet decided to comply and not cause me too many aches and pains. Then one morning I got out of bed, placed my feet on the floor, stood up and OWWW! What was this heel pain I was experiencing? It couldn’t be. Not the dreaded PF. I had heard of plantar fasciitis before so I knew what it was, unfortunately. Within a week, my new Kuru Chicane shoes appeared on my front stoop. A godsend indeed.
I’ve been wearing my Kuru Chicane active shoes for the past week when I go on walks to pick my son up from school and would you know, the heel pain is gone! I’d like to thank Kuru and their “world’s most anatomical midsole” for playing a big part in helping my heels. Aside from the orthotic-like support of the insole, I love the generous toe box area which is a must if you have bunions or hammertoes. And if you need more ankle support, the Kuru Quest is the hiking boot equivalent of the Chicane (see our review of the Kuru Quest).

Take a look at the Kuru Shoes website where you can find out more about their patent-pending KuruSole TM developed by a team of podiatrists, pedorthists and other specialists.
Yes, the Kuru Chicane is a smart shoe with all its comfort technology inner workings, but it’s also a fun shoe! Although my size 10 feet look like pumpkins when I wear orange shoes, I’ve received at least 4 compliments in a week. I love the asymmetrical lacing with yellow laces.
If you have plantar fasciitis or just need a great walking shoe with support, I highly recommend Kuru footwear. Browse the whole line of women’s shoes at Kurufootwear.com. Have you tried Kuru shoes before? Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

I’ve recently been in so much pain. Planters fasciitis. Always had a high arch and recently was tested only to find out it’s more normal now meaning it dropped causing some of the pain. I was wearing good tennis shoes for first few years Followed by flat slippers and converse. Years of flat slippers, with some cushioning. I usually bought some decent ones at nordstrom. On outings, wedges and high heels or booties. I do splurge on nice leather shoes.
I run a restaurant and have done so for over 12 years. Am on my feet for periods of 6-8 hrs. Am a young, small person about 5’1 weighing about 102. Have a narrow foot (lil wider now at toe bed due to wearing flip flops and flat shoes for 6 days a week for years), thin ankles, wearing a 5.5. Started to get a lil bunion like area on my pinky and big toe maybe called a tailors bunion. I think caused by the slip on flats.
I’m looking for closed toe and heel, nonslip, arch support work shoes as well as a few cuter shoes to wear out. Currently I own abeo t strap Nash’s slippers. The arch is excellent; my concern, after wearing them for few hrs, I do slip around in them due to my thin foot. I own clarks, danska(too wide), born, Marrell as well. Please help me.
That should say abeo t-strap basha
Hi Kristen,
I am trying to buy a pair of the Chicane shoes, I have tried the company several times… Did you order a 10 based on your workout shoes size? Or is 10 your actual shoes size? I am confused as all my gym shoes are a size 9 while my other shoes, wedges, heels etc are 8. Do you have any advice for me?
Thank you!
Do you have any suggestions for Postal carriers. I’m a mail carrier using Kuru’s shoes but they don’t seem to last. I also wear orthotics with them.
