Kuru Shoes Review [2024 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.

The Kuru Chicane is available in sizes 6-12, medium and wide widths for $175 from Kuru Footwear.

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!
