Kuru brand shoes. I'm on my feet for 12 hours shifts and I actually have zero foot pain, they're amazing. Also I have extremely high arches, and the Kuru Quantums are the first shoes I've ever owned in my entire life that I don't have to add orthotic arch supports.
I buy a new pair twice a year.
They really named their shoe brand after the disease you get from eating human brain?
I know, right? Trust me, as a nurse it makes it very challenging to recommend this brand to my colleagues lol
Only if it's uncooked.
So you're telling me I've been wasting perfectly good food for years?
Nice. I'll look into it. I need a good pair myself. Thanks
Do checkout this brand "bata". I was told that these are better than kuru.
Why is every shoe brand 4 letters in the same consonant-vowel order?
Bata, Kuru, Hoka, Nike...
Because four letter domain names are easy to remember. A lot of companies now find an affordable four letter domain and then name their company that. Amazon's router company eero is an example.
Not sure about the other brands, but Bata's been around for 100 years longer than domain names or the internet
They were planning ahead
I definitely will check them out. Kuru were a god damned revolution in my life after years of struggling with Brooks and Hoka.
