Kit Report: K-Swiss Running Shoes

K Swiss Running Shoes

As you will see from the photo that Mik took I have new running shoes. Yes K-Swiss. 

I had never heard of this shoe until Evonne drew my attention to her shoes. They are
extremely light and the sole is  made up of tubular rubber grips (no gel). It stated that they were “stability” and well cushioned.


I was a bit sceptical at first as I am an overpronator and I need good support hence I usually go and buy Asics.  I found that they were great on short distances but if you came to mud or hit a rainy patch they were slippy underfoot.  I will definitely use them for short road races, not off-road.  They are also ideal if you just want a pair of trainers for walking in or to look smart with some nice denims as they are white and hot pink.  I got them in a sale from the website at the bargain price of £26. They have since gone back to their original price of £56.

More information can be found on the K-Swiss website
