just ran in these...and QUITE impressed. Nice low profile, low weight, smooth ride. Considering KSwiss is just getting into the running game, these are VERY impressive. My guess is it has a lot to do with Mike Rouse the "brains" behind Mizuno's success, Zoot's step into the spotlight, and now KSwiss. Well done Mike. Great shoe for all faster running types.
i think they suck. just sayin

Not with that dual density midsole featuring a ginormous medial post.

As opposed the the dual density midsoles featuring lateral posts? Lol.
Secondary question (I don't like the Kswiss shoes either, FYI): since when does a medial psot preclude a shoe from being appropriate for a faster runner? Many pros wear stability shoes are their daily trainers too. Many racing flats include some medial posting too- does that make them slower than similar shoes with no posting?
and a question....those who have knocked the shoes, have you actually ran any miles in the K-Ona C? Felt like a DS Trainer, but a tad lighter, and I thought better ride. And yes, many elites do need some medial posting...and does not make them "slower". For example countless Nike runners where the Zoom Elite, many Asics athletes wear the DS Trainer, Kara Goucher trains in the Structure Triax, etc. Deena Kastor until recently, did almost all of her running in the Kayano (now Cumulus). Not as big of a deal as many on this board would like you to believe.
