      This company is terrible. Bought shoes from them and they sat for a while. Just used them on occasion because i mostly wore work boots. Started walking in them recently to get exercise, and the heel area on the inside of the shoes fell apart really quick. These shoes almost look new on the outside and still have lots of tread on the sole. **** did nothing about it. Shoes are junk. Most if not all the shoes ive ever owned have had the tread completely gone before they started falling apart and thats years of wearing them daily.

      I am so sorry that your shoes are coming apart. I understand that is very frustrating. I do appreciate you giving our shoes a shot and reaching out to us with your experience and feedback. While we do have a warranty policy that covers defects like the one you are experiencing for six months, your shoes were purchased in September of 2023. The warranty timeframe was over in March and it is now June, so your shoes are outside of this warranty timeframe and we cannot approve your warranty. Most of our customers who do wear their shoes daily typically report getting up to two years wear out of their shoes without problems. Of course problems can arise and the sooner we know about it, the more likely we will be able to resolve those problems. You can read about our warranty policy here: **********************************************************************

      Quality has taken a nosedive The first pair of Kinetics were great, loved them , even ordered a pair of hiking boots too. Second pair not so much, seems to be a defect in the way the tongue is attached, I have to pad the top of my foot to wear them. Seems to be lower quality of material and workmanship than the first pair. BTW they are $175 not cheap. Emailed them almost 3 weeks ago and have not yet gotten a reply. I reached them by phone today, told me I have to send them back before they send me a new pair, what am I supposed to wear in the meantime. Terrible customer service

      *******, I am so sorry that your shoes seem to have a strange defect with the tongue. I understand that is uncomfortable and very frustrating. I appreciate you giving them a shot and reaching out to us for help. I actually already responded to your email back on Friday with the following information. Please check your inbox so that we can resolve that and get your shoes taken care of. We can absolutely file a warranty claim for you, if you prefer, which would mean you can keep these shoes, and we will send a replacement. However, we can only do one warranty per paid order. So if you were to find that in 5 months the sole started to peel or the seams came apart, we wouldn't be able to replace the shoes again. By sending the shoes back to us, you have a warranty intact to use later if there became another defect. As you reached out to us when you were still within 45 days, I would suggest the exchange rather than the replacement and I'm happy to honor that. Please consider these options and let me know if you'd like me to process your exchange for you and have you send these back for a new pair without the defect, OR if you would prefer for me to process a warranty for you. You can reply to the email I sent you, OR you can send photos of the problem to us at ********************************** and I'll submit the warranty for you.

      Cant get a hold of anyone in customer service. The phone line never rings and goes dead. Very disappointing

      I am so sorry that you had a hard time getting a hold of us. I understand that is frustrating. I appreciate you giving our shoes a shot and reaching out to us with your feedback. In reviewing your account I see your calls were made at 6:17 am, 6:18 am, 6: 18 am, 6:20, and 7:14 am. *** were able to get through to us at 7:14, and your order was successfully canceled. The reason that you were not able to get through to us until that last call was because our office opens at 7 am Utah time. We were closed during the times you were trying to call. I'm very happy you were able to get a hold of a guru and that your order was successfully canceled. Our hours are 7am to 6pm Utah time (Mountain Standard Time) Monday- Friday. You can also reach us via chat, text, or email during the same business hours. Please feel free to reach out to us again and we'd love the opportunity to help you.

      Really bad products Stitching failed on two pairs of shoes. No help from ******* at ****.

      Kuru Footwear Response

      I am so sorry that the stitching has come apart on two pairs of your shoes. I understand that is so frustrating. I appreciate you giving our shoes a shot and reaching out to us with your feedback! While we do have a warranty policy which covers manufacturer defects in shoes (such as the stitching coming undone) for 6 months, I see that your orders were placed in March of 2022, which was over 2 years ago, and October 2021, which was 2.5 years ago. Your shoes are well outside of our warranty timeframe and they do not qualify for the warranty policy. You can see our full warranty policy here: ********************************************************************** Experts do recommend replacing shoes of any style or brand after ******* miles worth of wear. For the average person wearing shoes on a regular basis, this is an average of 1 year timeframe. For people who wear their shoes every day and walk many miles per day, or wear your shoes in difficult, uneven, or rough terrain, the shoes may wear more quickly. As you've had your shoes for over 2 years each, it sounds like you've gotten a really great run from them, and it may just be time for a new pair. As a courtesy, we have added an extra ***** worth of KURU Cash to your account to use as a discount toward your new pair. We do hope you come and choose a new pair of shoes! Thank you again for giving our shoes a shot. have a wonderful day!

      Ordered a pair of shoes waited one month no reply could not get people to answer the phone and finally did after a 40 minute wait. She were on back order. No one would reply to my emails with the legitimate answer of why I did not get them Ive been in customer service for 44 years and this is a Sarius customer service that you will find. Do not buy from this company because if they dont have your size, they will not give your money back to you. Finally wake them out.

      I am so sorry to hear that you had such a difficult experience with your order. I understand that is so frustrating. I appreciate you giving our shoes a shot and reaching out to us for help with this. I am so happy that we were able to talk on the phone yesterday and that you previous experiences with **** were very good. We are working on resolving the problems at hand and we do want every experience you have with KURU to be the best possible. Thank you again for giving our shoes a shot. Have a wonderful day!

      Purchased the **** Quantum wide shoes for my girlfriend who is a nurse. She has supination and has a very difficult time finding shoes that support her posture properly. She says that they feel like she's walking on air. She's never had a more comfortable pair of shoes. I got them for her several months ago, and the in soles started wearing down. I sent an email to customer support requesting information on purchasing a replacement insoles as it wasn't an option on the **** website. It took a couple weeks, but when the ****-Guru by the name of **** responded he apologized for the long wait time and had advised that a free replacement pair had been shipped. I am very grateful for the great customer support, and I would suggest this brand to anyone. Value- the price is high, but they know what they got and the happiness and satisfaction that my girlfriend experienced from this purchase was priceless. Then they stood behind their product when it had normal wear and tear and offered free insoles since purchasing a new exact same pair was unavailable. Thank you **** GURU Will

      I love the shoes and the customer service! I've been wearing KURU shoes for a couple of years now, and they've really helped with my plantar fasciitis pain. When I made my last order, only one of the two pairs I'd ordered arrived, but because of the holidays, etc., it took me more than a month to realize this and contact the company. However, one phone call to customer service was all it took. ********* listened carefully, researched the order, found the shoes I needed, told me he would expedite the shipping -- and then called me back later in the day to tell me that everything was confirmed. The shoes arrived yesterday (two days after the phone call), and they're perfect. I've loved every pair of KURU shoes I've worn (for the record, five different styles for me and one for my husband), and my husband loves his too, even though he doesn't suffer from foot pain. It's nice to discover that their customer service is as good as the excellent shoes!
