Kuru shoes are amazing and their customer service too! I purchased a pair of the slippers for my plantar fasciitis. They gave me immediate relief! They are the best slippers I have ever had. So I bought two pairs for my husband, slippers and shoes. Well the shipment got lost and when I reached out to customer service they shipped a new set of shoes. They did not say wait another 7 days or try to stall me in any way. They replaced the order immediately! Oh and they are stylish too for orthopedic shoes!

It is so frustrating when packages get lost! I'm sorry that happened, but I'm so happy we could get you a replacement shipped out right away. Thank you so much for being the best part of KURU!

Update after corporate reply: Your response was disappointing, but expected. You continue to focus on good intentions regardless of the damaging impact. You think you are making fun of the shoes, but when you take on an affected voice to represent an elderly person and you use people who play bingo as somehow ridiculous, you are actually making fun of people. And these people happen to be elderly. These people are wise, resilient, courageous, caring, role models, etc. I caution you on your next campaigns not to mimic foreign language speakers, use "black face", or celebrate oppression of race, gender, identity, religion, etc., buoyed by your good intentions. ----------------------- I have 3 pairs of Kurus that I really like. But after being inundated with your ageist commercial with the Kuru Guru ads, I'm out. And equally horrific is your excuse about good and humorous intentions. The thing about discrimination is that it doesn't matter what your intentions were. The only true path is to hold yourselves accountable, pull the ad, educate yourselves, and legitimately apologize. Full stop.
Response from KURU FootwearAug 8, 2025
I can see you feel strongly about this, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. The ad in question is doing exactly what it was intended to—it’s designed to challenge outdated stereotypes with a lighthearted tone, showing that older generations are more fashionable, active, and vibrant than ever before. Rather than diminishing or discriminating, our goal is to celebrate the fact that style, energy, and passion don’t have an age limit. Through humor, we want to help shift perceptions and highlight that people of all ages can live active, adventurous lifestyles—and that KURU is here to support them every step of the way. We understand humor is subjective, and while it may resonate differently for different viewers, our intent is to be uplifting, inclusive, and just a little bit shocking—enough to grab attention and spark conversation in a memorable way.

I accidentally made two extra orders of the same non slip shoes to wear for my restaurant. The customer service cancelled those orders in very good time. I am excited to wear my new Kuru non slip, comfy shoes to work! Cheers!
