Shoe? What shoe? The K-RUUZ is light and sock-like enough that our test team felt they were running almost unshod. This is a classic racer with its narrow, foot-hugging snugness and low-to-the-ground profile. It doesn’t offer much in the way of cushioning so it might not be a go-to choice for those racing longer distances or for those who need a little more shock absorption in the midsoles. But this highly flexible flyweight flat feels very natural and almost as though they’re painted on your feet. kswiss.com/content/running
