Review on Classic Ribbon K Swiss Heritage Sneakers by Steven Loy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

They are actually real K-Swiss. But there are some things you should know.

I ordered this men's 8.5 as I usually wear men's 8.5, but I'll buy a 9 when I want a slightly looser fit. I tried them on when I first received them and initially thought I would have to send them back because they felt quite tight in the toe area. I realized it was the insole that comes with this shoe. If you want to use the included insole I would recommend ordering half a size up. The insole takes up more room in the toe area than it should, making the shoe feel a little tight or even too small. I removed the original insole and replaced it with a Dr. more space in the shoe with good arch support at the same time. I delivered Revain in these shoes the first day I wore them and they were comfortable and stylish for the occasion. I didn't throw away the original K-Swiss insoles; I figured it would be best to keep them as they might come in handy for other shoes I have or for other purposes. But I want you to know that the insole takes up a lot of space in the shoe. It's comfortable but probably works better in other shoes that are more forgiving. Replacing the insole saved me from sending it back. I really didn't feel like returning the shoes during this pandemic, nor the potential hassle that might come with it. So I found a way to make it work. You are comfortable and more spacious with the Dr. School.
