KSwiss Ascendor SLT Women's Blue Shoes Customer feedback

Comments: I'm on my third pair of these shoes and I can't get enough of them. For a very long time, I was switching shoes because some didn't give enough support, some were too heavy, and others too thin (where I live, in the summer it gets to about 120 on the tennis court, so the feet need protection). These shoes are perfect. They are light-weight, but still support my feet and I rarely feel the heat through my shoes. They have never given me a blister when they were new, if anything, it was because of over-use. Also, because of the mesh-cloth, they easily get dirty, but as long as you aren't too fussy about them looking new after using them for 3 months, you're good to go. My shoes wear out in about 4 months, usually quicker in the summer, since I play every day during that season. From: Emily, Visalia, CA, USA. 8/08 Comments: I two got blisters for the first time on the ankle. They feel cushy and fit snug but never really "broke" the stiff feeling. I tried rubbing blister prevention sticks and wearing them around the house and neither alleviated the blisters from forming after a match. Disappointing from KSwiss, which usually has great fitting tennis shoes. From: Kelly, Virginia Beach, VA, USA. 6/08 Comments: I'm on my second pair, and although comfortable on the court, my feet feel miserable afterwards. As others have said, they'd probably be much better with orthotics or better insoles. However, the biggest drawback is the durability. Two pairs of shoes in less than 8 months (only playing once or twice a week) is impractical at best. I'm going to have to give up on them, at that rate. Too bad - they're so cute. From: Mignon, Missoula, MT. 5/08 Comments: I really like the way these shoes look, and with some new insoles they feel pretty comfortable. As-is they made my feet hurt, but the new insoles fixed that. The shoes are a bit stiff, but support my foot and I like the snug feel. I did go up a size as I have hard to fit feet. They became my new favorite shoes until I took a bad fall, and that one spill tore a hole through most of the thin mesh upper on the top side of the shoe. Either the edge of the tongue or the last hole for the laces rubbed a blister on my ankle when I wore low/no show socks. With higher socks and a relacing that problem went away. wore the hole in the first, although for the money there are probably better shoes. From: Carla, Tampa, Florida, USA. 12/07 Comments: I loved these shoes. They have a young & contemporary look while still offering great support & maneuverability. The breathability was incredible & the light weight of the shoe was great for long matches. I did not have any problems with the tongue sliding. I play at least three times a week & am very hard on my shoes, but I did not find that they wore out as quickly as some reported. From: AM, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, 09/07 Comments: I loved these shoes because they were light and felt like a pair of running sneakers, but they wore out VERY fast... (less than 2 months). From: Claudia, FL, USA. 5/07 Comments: I am a long time K-Swiss shoe fan. I wear orthotics and find the shoe fits well with the orthotics. I loved the shoe but the shoestrings were always loosening up on me, the tongue rubbed against my foot and they wore out quite quickly. I'll go back to the Ultrascendor, which lasted a lot longer. From: DD, Holly Springs, NC, USA, 01/07 Comments: I just bought a second pair. I also wear orthodics and have a semi-narrow foot and they hug my feet so well and feel and perform great! I bought them and went to tennis camp the next day and never had a problem. They didn't require any break in time for me. I'm a serve and volleyer and my feet generally hurt after 6 hours of playing, but not this time! From: Melinda, Oklahoma City, OK, USA. 12/06 Comments: I bought this shoe and love it. It has great cushioning and helps my knees. I haven't had the problems listed by other players. We'll see how long the shoe lasts. From: Francine, Glendale, CA, USA. 12/06 Comments: I bought this shoe thinking it was just another comfortable Kswiss shoe. It's not. It wore out in less than a month. And the tongue rubs against your ankle giving you severe blisters. Although it looks good because of its nice color, it’s not worth your money. From: Emily, NY, USA. 10/06 Comments: These shoes are not very comfortable. If I wear them for more than an hour of play, I get blisters. The mesh material they are made of does make them lightweight, but I think this adds to the discomfort. I have had other K-Swiss shoes that I am very pleased with, but these are a disappointment. From: Angie, Arvada, CO, USA. 10/06 Comments: The shoes look very sleek and very modern but I found out they are not very comfortable. The tongue of the shoe keeps migrating to the side no matter how tight I tie the shoe. Which means after each game I have to retie my shoes to fix the tongue. The shoe is also very stiff. I feel like I am breaking them in every time I wear them. I was disappointed in these shoes because I have worn other K-Swiss shoes with no problems. From: Peggy, Huntington Beach, CA USA 08/06 Comments: The shoes are better for my narrower foot; along with orthotics a great stable shoe for my little foot problems. From: Chris, Bellevue, WA 06/06 Comments: Very cute shoes although they do take some time to break in. I wore them for 1 month and they were fine and then stopped for two months and when I started again they gave me blisters, so I would recommend using them often if you want good results. From: Rachel, Youngstown, OH 05/06 Comments: Have played in them twice, and so far so good. Since they're non-leather, it's great that they're lightweight, but I think my feet do sweat more. Comfortable, sleek look...bottom line, I'll call them a good purchase. From: JM, NYC 05/06
