Very observant boys! matty reed here... I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting my arrival of the sweet and pimp racing flats by K-Swiss. Lieto, being a size 9 mens got the proto-type, that is why he is racing in them. me being the big man 13 (you know what they say about big feet....) is not a proto-type size and will wait for the shoes off the press in july. In the mean time, i race in a white racing flat, since I am a very light weight racer and race in light and fast and neutral shoes. But dont you boys worry, these K-Swiss racing flats are simply amazing. Stable, durable, lightweight..... Cant wait to roll these babies. I am a bit different to the other K-Swiss athletes out there in that I race the World Cups and short course and am not ironman focused (yet!- hint.) so that is why I race in a speed suit, and use a true track racing flat. I was born in the fast mode, and that is why i came to K-Swiss Team.... they make the best shoes out there. For fast, for steady, for the long haul and for a variety of athletes.
So there you go... since I am rambling on, i will throw out that my favorite K-Swiss sneakers to train in are the Ultra Natural and then the Kona for some fartklek/threshold sessions. Oh and if you get a chance to get a pair of the running shorts, COMFY!
alright, post away. i will be out training.... GO HARD or GO THE HECK HOME.
BIG MATTY REED- OUT.
Thanks Matt. I appreciate your insight and am surprised you're on here. Your'e doing a good job towing the company line. Maybe you can tell us more about the shoes? Being a new guy and coming from a run specific focus, I can say I'm short distance and faster (its all relative) guy as well. I've been wearing the Zoot Ultra Race shoe since I got into the sport. Its been working very well for me. I love the light weight, soft lining, carbon fiber and the over-all feel of the shoes. Been running and racing barefoot for years and these Zoots are so wonderfully comfortable. But I'm always reading about new gear. I have seen some reviews on K-Swiss footwear and they seem to be very new to running and triathlon shoes. Most reviews I see have the shoes called out as what I would consider to be quite heavy. I tried to find out for myself, but I actually cannot find any running shop that carries them. I see a lot of advertising from K-Swiss, but I can't find their shoes anywhere?
