Reviews of K-Swiss Women's The Classic Sneaker

Customer Ratings:

Nice white shoe, about as supportive as Reeboks (if you remember those)...

the toebox on this one is narrow and low so if you have toes that need

to wiggle up and down like mine, get the wide .... I'm exchanging my

8 1/2 med for 8 1/2 wides now. Otherwise just a great looking kick around

all around go with everything shoe.

-----------If you want a heavier shoe that has a much larger toebox and is

wider ---with

more support go for the K-Swiss Albury Ii Classic Shoe Womens

but if you do... order one 1/2 size smaller than your usual size/the Albury

runs very long...and do not order wides in this shoe / it is already very wide.

Gone are the K-Swiss of old. China and a sewing machine has ruined these shoes. In short, K-Swiss used to make these shoes out of 5 separately cut and constructed pieces of actual leather or leather-like composite (for the case of the insole at the heel). Then someone would sew them together. You could see the gray suede on the underside of the stitched pieces; that gave them that sort of broken-in "ready to hit the courts" look. Then they would sew on the tag that used to say "These hand-sewn shoes are manufactured to the exact specifications of today's competitive athlete..." (or something like that), then they would use a terry cloth liner for the tongue that was soft and spongy for compression between the laces and the instep; then they would use high-quality perforated neoprene foam foot beds. Then something went horribly, horribly awry.

They now use one piece of "leather," (which is so low-grade they don't show you the suede side) with one-dimensional, completely unnecessary random old-style -looking stitching to resemble the 5 pieces they'd previously constructed and sewn together all in order to resemble the old shoe. But it doesn't fool the discerning K-Swiss aficionado. We know better. We don't see the gray suede cuts.

This new (yet just as expensive) shoe is a flat, contour-less, shapeless, geriatric-looking old-people nurse, horrible, awful $85 mess made of who-knows-what. I don't know if it's leather; it doesn't say.

The old versions were all about performance and a clean classic look; these are all about embarrassing you when you open the box. If you don't cringe when you open the box, you don't know the old K-Swiss. You deserve each other.

They're all about "style" over which there is no substance. I do know that on the old pair (because my kid has an old pair her brother never wore) the reverse (interior) of the upper was actual suede; you can see it and feel it. Now...? I don't have the foggiest. It's covered in some random rubbery/grippy type of material. It's not apparently suede at all.

Gone is the spongy terry-cloth tongue. Gone is the supportive and uniform feel (meaning: they don't feel the same on each foot; one felt more supportive than the other and one rolled out to the side). They're garbage. Even Oscar the Grouch wouldn't want 'em. They stink and you don't even have to wear them.

DO NOT BUY THESE SHOES IF YOU LIKED THE ONES YOU HAD BEFORE.

Honest reviews on K-Swiss Women's The Classic Sneaker

I normally buy shoes at a store but I decided to try to purchase them online. Big mistake! I'm a previous owner of these exact same shoes and loved them so much I decided to buy a new pair after the old ones needed replacing. The pair sent to me in the mail were poorly put together. The inside soles weren't even attached to the shoes. Apparently, these were probably manufacturer rejects that another company resells as "new". Very misleading and would not recommend the reseller.

The style and fit of this shoe are just perfect for me. They are comfortable and look great with virtually everything. The problem is when I received them I was disappointed. They don't appear to be store quality. The feel is cheap and the materials have a weird gloss I've never seen before on quality shoes. I'm not sure if they're official K-Swiss. Keep this in mind when purchasing.
