I had an issue with my shoe

I had an issue with my shoe. I shared my concerns in an email about a ripped hole where the shoe lace belongs. I got a quick response asking for more info to help. When I shared photos, I got an immediate response on how Kuru will fix the problem, which replaced my shoes, without having the hassle of returning my old ones. This was 100% to my satisfaction. Kuru has the best customer service. Thank you.

Great shoes, great customer service !

I decided to try the LOMA Jarvi sandal as cute summer work shoe, I am a hairstylist and can be on my feet for up to 6-8 hours straight. These are so comfortable! They keep me balanced, give me a little height and I don’t feel the aching that I normally do at the end of the day.

I decided to order the other color and use my points when purchasing them. I noticed that the points were still pending so I called customer service. I got someone on the phone right away, no prompts or being redirected to a website and she was super friendly and helpful and cleared my points so I could immediately use them.

They are a little pricey, however these will be my go to shoes for work and regular wear, the never ending hunt is over so it’s totally worth it !

Easy returns

I ordered a pair of Atom2 sneakers and a pair of Moment slides. I love the slides but wasn’t sure about the sneakers. They were so kind about returning the sneakers even though I no longer had the box and wore them one time for a few minutes. Not many customer services are that accommodating and I appreciate it.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad our team was able to make the return process easy, even without the original box and after a quick trial wear. Flexibility and support matter, and we're happy we could help.

We appreciate you giving both styles a try, and we're glad you're enjoying your MOMENT slides. Thanks for choosing KURU!

Quality issue, solution surpassed expectations

Kuru responded quickly to an email I sent on a holiday Friday. I sent pictures of a minor defect in my new shoes and they immediately replaced them—generated a new order without me even having to return the shoes. I noticed the issue on the first wearing and simply reached out to see if this was a normal issue or a defect. I will donate the original pair. Very impressive customer support. And so pleasant to work together.

Returns are truly simple

The return for my husband's trial of a boot that did not work for him was handled very quickly. I was happy to receive the gift card for buying a pair of the Ridge hikers today.
I was also very pleased to see how fast they shipped and how soon to expect them. I wear Tread everyday right now, so look forward to the hikers for fall.
