K Shoes
for brighter days
Old shoes may seem well enough on grey days and muddy days, but the sunshine of brighter days "shows up" shabby shoes, and brilliantly suggests a new pair of Ks.
Perfect fit is made certain by the famous K Plus Fitting principle. With two fittings in one shoe (see diagram) it gives a close fit round the ankle with plenty of room for the toes.
