K-Swiss California

	Comfortable ride

	Not ideal for flexibility or speed

What's new? Another new model from the ever-growing K-Swiss range.

We say This is a mild stability shoe that focuses on comfort over heavyweight support. It has a water repellent upper, a seamless inner, a reinforced foam crashpad in the heel, a dual density midsole for unobtrusive support and durable hard rubber outsole. The overwhelming response from testers was that it killed them with kindness: the ride was almost too comfy; responsiveness, flexibility and speed all suffered; and the weight makes it better suited to heavier runners.

Wear testers say "Sturdy and reliable but not a shoe that inspires you to pick up the pace." John Carroll
