KURU – Great Active Shoes for the Busy Woman

11 February 2010 4 Comments

200103 - Draft - PerspectiveIt is my pleasure to present my review of the Draft shoe from KURU Footwear. I had never heard of KURU and was excited when they contacted me to provide a review. I am totally a comfy shoe gal. I have picky feet and most shoes are not comfortable for me. Like most women, I will wear shoes for a night out to look stylish, but most days, I just want to be comfortable and feel supported from the ground up. Of course this starts with a great shoe.

The KURU Draft is one such shoe. I LOVE IT! There are very few shoes that feel comfortable when you first put them on. There is often a “break-in” period. These shoes felt like they molded to my feet in about 2 minutes. I wore them for the rest of the day all around the house. I love them so much, I may need a pair for indoor slippers and a pair for outdoors.

In addition to being comfortable, it is quite stylish. My shoe is like the one pictured above. It’s black with pink trim. It also comes in blue, a green/brown combo and orange. It is a slip on style with a small heal backing so your foot does not slip out.

This same shoe was featured in SKI Magazine. The editor had a great review saying, “KURU, like it’s Finnish namesake-a city so environmentally pure you can drink straight from its rivers and lakes-Utah-based Kuru believes in clean, naturally inspired living. Its line of soft-shell footwear, including the Draft clog with anatomically correct midsole, is designed with that-and apres ski comfort-in mind.”

Whether or not you ski, this shoe is great to envelope your feet in comfort from grocery shopping to running errands to simply walking around the house. Heck, maybe I’ll need to take up skiing just to explore the “apres ski” effect.

Here is the company summary of the Draft shoe:

The Draft is a supreme comfort shoe that fits like a slipper and features water shedding soft shell uppers. The perfect shoe for aprés-sport, running to the coffee shop, a quick errand, or simply lounging around the campfire. Take off your trail shoes and enjoy the comfort of the Draft shoe. (I could not agree more!)

Retailing for $89.95, the Kuru Draft Features:

* Nylon Textile Soft Shell Uppers conform to your foot like a sock
* Leather toe and heel for durability
* Super Comfy Anatomical KuruSole™ Midsole
* Antimicrobial treated microsuede shoe footbed
* Water and Stain resistant BombrSpec™ Soft Shell uppers
* Collapsible uppers, perfect for stashing in your luggage
* Breathable & moisture wicking shoe lining

Keep checking back for details.

    These sound great! The ones in the pic look like they’d be great to slip on and wear around the house. I’ve noticed my knees have been bothering me lately when I’m walking around in my slippers, so I’m starting to think I need something with better support. I’ll have to look more into this shoe!

    Yes, they are so nice and very supportive. They are very sturdy and high quality as well. Something you want if you are going to pay the money.

    I have a pair of Keens that I ADORE but they aren’t very suitable for going out. These look perfect! Now if only I could find 90 bucks to drop on shoes…I’m sure they are totally worth it!
