Just got selected for a pro-deal with Kswiss and wanted to get some ST input on their new running shoes (K-ona or Run One miSOUL Tech). I currently use their Ultra Natural Run shoes for my short tempo and speed workouts and love them for being so light and sockless.
I use the Ultra Natural too and love them, but can’t give you specific feedback on the others. I would just say quality on one area hopefully indicates quality elsewhere.
I race in the K-onas. i love them. I got them when they first came out in kona last year. They are light and drain water really well. I got selected for the pro-deal to.
Wait one minute here!!!
The OP’s 1st post is to say he loves his K Swiss.
Coincidentally, the 2nd and 3rd poster (2nd and 3rd posts) also love their K Swiss.
Are K Swiss shoes being sold on bikesdirect?
.
If you haven’t signed the contract as yet, may be you could ask them if they’ll cover the physio related costs just to cover yourself?
K-SWISS will be at Tri Fest this weekend in Tucson if you are looking to try out and compare any of their new models.
The K-Ona’s have more support and a wider toe box for people who need those items (longer distance in general, as over a marathon the foot gets tired).
The Ultra Natural shoes are really awesome, but my feet are too wide and weak for me to enjoy their benefits.
I have seen/ heard some really cool things about the miSOUL http://www.kswiss.com/misoul/ but not been able to get my hands on them yet. In a nutshell there are 3 (with possibly more in development) different insoles which have different weights and different levels of support. Why is this exciting? My right arch collapses signifigantly more than myleft one = right shoe more supportive inSOLE = custom shoes for my needs.
I’ll let you know how things go after I get my hands on them and run for 4-6 weeks.
