Excellent white-on-white shoes. They look very similar to the K-Swiss Classic shoes, but cost about half as much if you can find them on sale (at Kohls or JC Penny). I also like that they don't have the two holes in the side like the Classics, because stepping in a puddle can ruin your day. Like all white-on-white shoes, they have a lifespan of about 4 months of constant use before they get replaced due to getting dirty.

Extending the lifespan of these isn't too hard. Lots of water and some scrubbing. A bottle of 409 does wonders for stains on white leather.

First off, ignore the picture Amazon.com currently has for these shoes. These are all-white shoes that look very similar to the K-Swiss Classic. I love the K-Swiss Classic, however it is more expensive, and overall these shoes feel and look pretty much the same as the K-Swiss Classic, except these seem a little bit taller.

I have owned a pair of these shoes for about eight months now and they still look clean and white. I typically only wear these on the weekends so this may be why they've lasted so long and still look so white. Before I wore these shoes I gave them two applications of Kiwi's Protect-all. I strongly recommend buying a leather fabric protector spray like Kiwi and applying it before you wear these shoes. I clean these shoes about once a month and apply another coat when done cleaning. Another trick is to buy new shoe strings and replace them after cleaning. New shoe strings cost less than $2.00 and it makes a difference.

My boyfriend saw these KSWISS Albury Ii Mens shoes and liked what he saw. However, they showed two different shoes. When you search for this shoe, it brings up a white shoe, but when you click on the link to select your size and buy the shoe, it shows a totally different shoe. What is shown has dark gray on the side around the toes, a red emblem of Kswiss, yellow/gold on the bottom of the shoe and dark gray on the tongue of the shoe. When I got it in the mail, it was a white shoe. I called amazon and explained. They appoligized and said they would take the incorrect picture down. Shoe buy said they dont have the shoe shown and that it may have been a older version of the shoe that kswiss no longer sells. I am returning. I was very dissapointed and I doubt if I'll buy Kswiss again.

I love the lightweight shoes and the uppers last under extreme use I put them through. I do wish the soles would last a bit longer.
