Providing polite and prompt service is important to us. Thank you for your kind words!
They answered my questions. They read what I sent and answered my exact questions. They were helpful to my needs and did not give round about information that applied to every one. It was a PERSON that was helping me and l had my answers quickly. Thank you.

Thank you so much for giving us a shot! We are so happy you are enjoying your shoes and that you had a good experience.
I had to have my order shipped either UPS or FedEx due to restrictions at the receiving end. Once the email request was seen on Monday morning, emails started back and forth until I was assured the order would be shipped properly. Great use of everyone’s time.

IN REPLY TO YOUR REPLY: I CHECKED EMAIL, SPAM FOLDER AND THE REVIEW I LEFT ON YOUR WEBSITE AND NO YOU DID NOT PERSONALLY RESPOND TO THE REVIEW I WAS CITING. YOU STATED THAT YOU HAVE NO RECORD OF ME CALLING TO LODGE MY COMPLAINT. EXCEPT ON JULY 19 REGARDING REWARDS. PLEASE RECHECK YOUR RECORDS BECAUSE ACCORDING TO MY CELL PHONE I CALLED ON AUGUST 15 AT 7:20, AUGUST 16 AT 11:25 AUGUST 19 AT 10:16 THAN AT 10:28 YOUR GURU CALLED ME BACK BECAUSE WE WERE DISCONNECTED.AND WHEN I CALLED THEY ASKED ME IF THEY WERE TALKING TO JANICE. SO PLEASE DON'T TELL ME YOU HAVE NO RECORD OF ME CALLING. YES IT WAS MY MISTAKE FOR NOT TRYING ON BACK UP SHOE WHEN ORDER. AND YES I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF NON SLIP AS WELL AS TIRE TREAD ON OIL. WHAT YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT IT WAS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING ON COMPLETELY CLEAN FLOORS THAT I SLID- IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR LOWEST REVIEWS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE SUCH AS MELLISSA, ERIN, CAROLYN, MARK ANA , HEATHER, CHRISTINA, KRISTINA L, LISA, CASSANDRA THAT ALL COMPLAINED OF BEING NOT NON SLIP. JUST TO LIST A FEW. WHAT WOULD MAKE THINGS RIGHT? REFUND ME MY $180 WHICH I PAID FOR SO I CAN PURCHASE A PAIR OF NON SLIP SHOES FROM ANOTHER COMPANY. THE 5000 REWARDS POINTS ARE OF NO USE TO ME SINCE I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING SHOES FROM YOU AS WELL AS MY CO WORKERS I bought a second pair of shoes in Sept 23. I did not need them at the time, but wanted to have a back up. Unfortunately since I did not need them until now I was not aware that I had order the wrong shoe. The kinetic wide had been the shoe I've been buying. These shoes are very comfortable and slip resistance. The shoe a received in Sept are kinetic wide 2.0. I wore them for 3 days, I developed callous and both feet, and slipped in the kitchen at work. They are not slip resistance as stated. We are required to wear slip resistance at work. So 180$ is thrown away since I have to buy new shoes that are slip resistance. I called a number of times to lodge my complaint and each time I was told- thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to us. You are no longer in the 45 day return and there is nothing we can do.. I wrote a review and downloaded a video of me sliding on floor. I called again after I posted and was told the review team will be in touch. As of yet nobody has reached out. There are many reviews claiming these are the best shoes. When you look at reviews click on lowest rating and you will see a number of people have the same problem as I with non slip. Order: 1711796

I love the first pair very disappointed in the second pair definitely made in a different factory, quality was not the same. Comfort was not even the same. Now I have an issue with the sole falling off the bottom. I'm going to put a claim in for a warranty. I'm not even sure I want a second pair. It took me so long to break these in. And they're still not comfortable, nothing like the first pair, they've definitely downgraded their quality. Even the slip resistance is not Up to the same standard as was on my first pair.

I had not been familiar with Kuru shoes before but, but came across it during a very focused Google search and was very pleased to see innovative products that combine total foot health, comfort and agility with innovative and youthful styles. I also received one of the most professional, courteous and elegant customer services.
