These are in fact real K-Swiss. But there are some things you should know.
I ordered these in a men's 8.5, since in men's sizes I usually wear an 8.5, but will buy a 9 if I want a slightly less snug fit.I tried these on when I first received them, and initially thought I would need to send them back because they felt pretty snug at the toe area. Realized it was the insole that comes in this shoe. If you plan to use the insole that comes in the shoe, I would suggest ordering half a size up. The insole takes up more space in the toe box than it should and therefore gives off the impression that shoe is a bit snug or even too small.I removed the original insole and instead placed a Dr. Scholl's insole with arch support inside and this dramatically increased the room in the shoe while offering good arch support to my feet. I did my Amazon deliveries in these shoes the first day I wore them and they were both comfortable and stylish to wear for the occasion.I did not throw away the original K-Swiss insoles; I decided it's best to keep them as they may come in handy for a different shoe that I have or some other use. But just want you to know, the insole takes up a lot of space in the shoe. It's comfortable, but prob would work better in a different shoe that is more forgiving. Changing out the insole is what saved me from having to return it. I really didn't feel like trying to return a shoe during this pandemic nor the potential hassle that may come with it as such. So I figured out a way to make it work. They are comfortable and more roomy with the Dr. Scholl's insole.
