Fits a little big but nice clean lines
When I saw this on the Amazon site I thought what simple & clean lines it has. I liked the appearance right away. Kept it on 1 of my wish lists for awhile but when the price came down significantly I ordered. My feet aren't very picky when it comes to the fit of sneakers which is great because I can order on-line!On Amazon it stated they were made of leather. I don't like PU leather or whatever else they want to call it. I do like the qualities of real leather. Of course I buy things that aren't leather, but they better not pretend to be leather.When I received the order I didn't notice any leather smell. Looked at the labels in both sneakers & no mention what they were made of (I thought this was legally required?). There was a piece of paper attached to the shoe lace that stated the sneakers were either suede, leather or textile. Hmm.When I put them on they were a little big for my feet, but they would still fit and not cause problems to my feet. After wearing a couple of times I begin to notice the leather smell & they appear to be wearing like leather. Why did they smell so unlike leather when I first opened the box but now they do smell like leather, hope my nose in not going crazy.4/9/2015 updateI just received my second pair which I ordered because I found the 1st set so versatile. I do a lot of traveling via air & primarily it is for pleasure & with my luggage I can't really carry a second set of shoes when I travel. I have found myself using these shoes every time. They are very comfortable but primarily because they have such an neutral look to them for athletic style types. They don't scream out to grab your attention & they can go with just about any type of casual type of clothing...love them.

Love the gray color and very happy with my purchase....
I am very happy with these shoes. I was a bit skeptical after reading some of the reviews, but I am glad I pulled the trigger (bought two pair). I have bad, flat and wide feet...so needless to say shoe comfort is extremely important to me. I purchased the size 12 US and I am glad I did. My shoe size is an 11.5-12 depending on the shoe (always a 12 in Nike, Ecco's are 11.5 for a couple examples). After reading the reviews I am glad I went with the 12's as they are plenty wide, do not have too much room in the toe and most importantly fit my custom orthotics. I have always been a K-swiss fan but have not owned them for years. These are classic K-Swiss...great construction (will update if that changes, but initial build quality is great) and look awesome dressed up or down. Bought these last week during the K-Swiss daily deal and looking back I wish I would have ordered more than the 2 pair.

Comfy, Stylish, and Durable
I got these shoes a few years ago, on sale for $20 with free shipping. They did not disappoint. I wore them daily for three years, and eventually the white front edge started separating from the gray body of the shoe, but never more than an inch or two. Able to fix with superglue. They were comfortable and very sturdy for the price. Now I see they are over $70. I'm not sure I'd pay that much for them, but if they were ever on sale for $20-30 or so, I would buy again in a heartbeat. Great kicks.

You can look great and sound like you have major gas issues at the same time!
These shoes sit high atop a fashion ziggurat as an example of the awesomeness of design a shoe can and should have. Then, sad realization strikes upon first wear that these aren't all that comfortable. Upon first steps taken, recognition hits that you are a fart parade of one. Depending on the socks that are chosen to accompany these kicks, every single step sounds like a man playing a squeaky tuba in pace with your steps. The material used for the insole was chosen by a person with blatant aggression and hatred toward his fellow man.2 stars due to the shoes farts; 4 stars if I were able to actually walk around without everyone thinks I had a second helping of beans.

Nice shoe...
Nice looking casual shoe. The grey/green color combination is exactly as shown in the picture. I did find the shoes to be a bit on the small side, however. Snug enough that only very thin socks can be worn as opposed to thicker "sport" socks. I'm hopeful, however, that the shoes will stretch a bit as they get worn in. I ordered the 11.5 because most of the reviews I read stated the shoes "Fit as expected." These are so close to fitting that I suspect a size 12 might have been a bit too big. YMMV.<<UPDATE>> After a few wearings the shoes have "relaxed" a bit and now fit just fine. Upgraded my review to 5-stars.

Nice looking and comfortable (but squeaky!)
These shoes look great, and they're pretty comfortable I've walked to work in them (3 1/2 miles) with no problem. However, after 4 days or so they started squeaking with every step. Not just mild squeaking- over-done, foley-type squeaking! I spent half the day at work, walking on my the balls of my feet to avoid embarrassment, and won't be wearing them again, unless I can solve the squeaking problem.**UPDATE**After a few rounds of baby powder inside the shoes to silence the squeaking (which would initially disappear for 3 or 4 days before retuning), the squeak is now gone! I've been wearing the shoes for eight months with no more problems. Verrrry comfortable shoes!
