Quick service
Quick service. Let me know, and showed me how easy it is to do an exchange. Felt very comfortable during the conversation. Felt reassured that I was dealing with a knowledgeable employee.

So lucky to have a guru instead of an AI bot
I was in the midst of a return to a FedEx drop off at my local Walgreens, when the QR code did not work. I had just finished a strenuous PT session and wanted to get my shoes sent off for an exchange for a a larger size. My guru was so helpful to get me a usps code sent immediately and i could be on my way.
Reply from KURU Footwear2026-08-04
We're sorry you ran into trouble with the QR code, especially after a strenuous physical therapy session. We can certainly understand how frustrating that must have been when you were just trying to complete your exchange.
We're so glad your GURU was able to quickly provide a USPS label so you could get back on your way without any further hassle. Thank you for your patience and for your kind words about our team. We hope your new size is the perfect fit and provides the comfort and support you're looking for!

All I want to say is that you guys are great! You helped me so much with my account mixup so now I can order another pair of Quest boots which will be my third pair as my first pair, which I bought in 2017, are still going strong, but I can’t resist the black and fig color! My feet are very happy and you make the Kuru brand proud!

I love kuru Athletic shoes
I love kuru Athletic shoes - as a NP I have recommended these to 100s of patients specific to plantar fasciitis
I have flip flops and sandals too and sing their praise
Unfortunately for first time I had to return something- and it’s a nightmare
Sent me qrs code and goes to one specific store they called office. Super inconvenient to get to- so disappointing
Reply from KURU Footwear2026-08-03
Thank you so much for your continued support and for recommending KURU to so many of your patients. Hearing that you've trusted our shoes for yourself and for others truly means a lot to us.
We're so sorry that your first return experience has been frustrating. We completely understand how disappointing it is when something that should be simple ends up being inconvenient.
Unfortunately, this review didn't include any identifying information, so I wasn't able to locate your account. I've requested your name and email address through Trustpilot, and as soon as you update that information, I'd be happy to take a closer look.
In the meantime, if it's easier, please reach out to our GURU team at [email protected]. We can provide you with a printable FedEx label that you can take to any FedEx location if that works better for you. We don't want this process to be difficult, and we'll do whatever we can to make it as simple and convenient as possible.

Resolved a manufacturing issue
Had a manufacturing issue with my shoes and wrote a review about it. Kuru quickly replied to that and notified me my shoes were under warranty and worth submitting a claim. Everything was resolved quickly and painlessly. I’ve been a fan of the shoes for a while and grateful the support team is of equal quality.

I was looking for a good supportive sneaker and came across Kuru and a few others. After researching, Kuru was where I decided to shop. The 1st pair was too narrow, customer service was quick and understood my situation, helped me find another sneaker. Return was effortless, as they send a shipping label. Between the ease of ordering, the warranty and the customer service I would recommend this company to all.

10+ star for Customer Service!
Lindee, Gloria were amazing! The excellent level of their service cannot be matched. The quick answer and transfer to a call was unbelievable! They were professional, kind, attentive and gave great recommendations .
I was skeptic at first to buy another expensive pair of shoes due to my painful foot with planter fasciitis and stabing heels, but after I received the first pair my pain went from a 10 down to a 2. Within a few weeks I ordered 3 more pairs.
KURU shoes are fantastic !
Reply from KURU Footwear2026-07-29
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Lindee and Gloria provided such exceptional service. We'll be sure to share your kind words with them. They truly care about helping our customers, and we're so glad they made your experience such a positive one.
It's also incredible to hear how much of a difference your KURUs have made for your plantar fasciitis and heel pain. Going from a pain level of 10 to a 2 is amazing, and we're honored to have been part of that journey. The fact that you came back for three more pairs is the highest compliment we could receive.
Thank you for trusting KURU and for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your support and hope your KURUs continue to keep you comfortable for many miles to come!
