Kuru Insight: The Do Everything Shoe

Walking Shoes - By Ed Forteau on Monday, November 7, 2011 - 14:54

Do you have a favorite pair of shoes? The shoes you look for as you're rushing out of the house?  The shoes you wear when you're doing chores?  The shoes you wear when you go for your regular walk?  Basically, an everything shoe?  I have a pair of "those shoes" - and they're called the Kuru Insight.

The Insight is the most versatile shoe from Kuru Footwear, and that is what makes it stand out from the rest of their line of footwear.  It is a casual shoe that can be worn for work or play.

The Kuru Insight comes with the Kurusole midsole, which provides custom support becuase it molds to your feet.

Kurus are designed so you feel the ground under your feet.  The footbed is not overly padded, like many walking shoes.  The Insight uses your heel in a unique way, to offer natural padding.  When walking, the heel strike is where the bulk of the impact occurs.  The unique Kurusole cups the heel, naturally allowing the fat pad in your heel to absorb the impact. This design takes advantage of the natural cushioning of your heel, and reduces damage to your feet.  See video below:

The Insight is also a great looking casual shoe.  It comes in black, turkish brown, and white for women, and black, brown, and white for men.  The black women's and men's models come with a leather and canvas upper, while the white and brown models sport premium leather uppers.

The Insight is a very durable shoe.  I've had them for over six months, and have really put them through the paces.  For me, they have been my go-to everyday shoes, and they have held up extraordinarily well.  They show very little sign of wear, and I expect to continue wearing them for a longtime to come.

The Insight is true to size.  It has a wide toe box, which I prefer. And a tapered heel, which firmly holds your feet in place.

The Kuru Insight is priced at $109.97, which is about average for a high quality walking shoe.

This is an all around solid shoe.  It provides unique support that you will not find in any other shoe.  It is well constructed.  Comfortable.  And looks smart.
