This is such a great shoe for my son. He loves it. It's a little rigid but he doesn't seem to mind. The treads are not too deep but he says they aren't too slippery. Great color (blue) and they look so sharp. Time will tell how these hold up. I will update my review if they deteriorate to quickly. They look pretty rugged right now.

EDIT 4/24/16 starting to get just a bit of scuffing on the toe. Still, that is pretty good considering these were new in February. Still very usable and still has a lot of life in them.

EDIT 5/24/16 Still going strong. Had to replace laces, scuffing still very minimal.

EDIT 6/15/16 Still looking great! These may well last the summer and until he outgrows them.

EDIT 7/6/16 Still holding up. He isn't wearing them as much this summer, but these may just may last until next fall unless his feet grow too much.

EDIT 8/17/16 Glad I bought these a bit large, because he can still wear them and they still look good. This was a great find!

I love this shoe! Wore them in high school. Perfect for classic good looks and comfort. Really well made too! The best part? The girls just swoon as you walk by (my wife doesn’t like that too much, but what are ya gonna do? You can’t blame them!). For some reason, the theme music from Shaft always plays as soon as you walk out your front door and the sun shines down on you like you’re the chosen one! Just fillin up my car with gas the other day, and all the guys came up to give me OG respect! I can go on and on how these shoes will change your life, but you don’t need a written review to figure out that putting these kicks on your ol’ Fred Flintstones, will do exactly that!

Right length and width, but high instep

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2021

Size: 13Color: Black/BlackVerified Purchase

I read the reviews that these K Swiss fit small and tight. I wear size 12 athletic and hiking shoes, but need 12-1/2 in Adidas Stan Smiths. I ordered a size 13 in this shoe and found that they are way too wide with a high instep. I wore K Swiss in the 70's and 80's without a problem -- snug but easily broken in for total comfort. I mistakenly walked 2.5 miles in them so cannot return them. My friend wears size 13 wide so he's taking them. K Swiss no longer fits me. I bought a pair of the new Adidas Stan Smith Traditions in size 12-1/2 and find them to be the perfect fit just like the older model Stan Smiths. I love the K Swiss but their sizing has changed.

I LOVE THIS SNEAKER!!! Unlike so many running shoes or sneakers with a very cushioned sole that wear unevenly and ends their usable life early, this sneaker wears extremely long and even. The sneaker has fantastic lateral control. If you have weaker ankles or are not as sure footed as you would like this is the sneaker for you. It may be an old design but it is a timeless classic. Many people have noticed them and remembered when they had a pair many years ago and loved them. The soles wear forever and the tops even longer. I would never buy a non leather sneaker of this type. So many manufacturers are charging as much for man made materials. I will likely always have a pair as long as they are being made as they are my go to walking sneaker. I tend to suppinate and these sneakers control it. I think they would do the same if you pronate. I cannot say enough good things about these sneaks.

These are great tennis shoes. My last pair lasted 14 years! I finally had to get rid of them because the rubber wore out on the sole of my left foot, and if I stepped in water, my foot would get soaked! None the less, I purchased another pair online, same size, and they fit and wear perfect. They are so comfortable, and look great. Not too fancy, like some of the modern sneakers, just enough design to be interesting and non-blase. I love the K-Swiss. And the price is great, because they aren't a trendy brand.

Great shoes and true to size!

I have never wore K-Swiss shoes before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. When I got them and tried them on, they fit perfectly. They are a very comfortable shoe, that I think I am going to really like. I wanted a tennis shoe that I could wear with black slacks since I am on my feet all the time when I work through a non-profit I am a part of. They look really good with black slacks, in fact, I think you could wear these with about anything. I just wish they offered these in a mid-top or high-top.

Der Versand hat etwas länger gedauert. Ich trage Größe 44 und anfangs waren die Schuhe etwas zu klein, aber man läuft sie schnell ein. Im Laden bekommt man diese Schuhe nicht mehr, deshalb bin ich froh dass ich sie über Amazon kaufen konnte.
Für nächstes Jahr bestelle ich mir auch welche :))

These are nice looking, good price and comfortable. I went with 1/2 size bigger than what I normally wear in dress shoes and they fit perfectly.
