K-Swiss got it right; you might think K-Swiss is just a good tennis shoe and also just good enough to wear to the family cookout but let me tell you I am a heavier build male and I am training to run a Half marathon I have been training with New Balance's and I was happy with them until my flat foot started to act up which led me to do some research on a new running shoe that would give the me comfort, flexibility, and stability and thanks to K-Swiss I found it. I will let you know how I did but for the time being if you are looking for a great shoe stop and get yourself a pair because this is the real deal.

I am hooked! I am not the typical runner build (190lbs); however, have raced everything from marathons, ironmans, and 5Ks (competitively). I have used a large amount of different shoes, went through half dozen newtons and developed Achilles tendinitis, used Brooks and Saucony with stability systems and they feel like bricks on my feet. Used five fingers for shorter runs, not bad but get blisters. Used racing flats and they feel okay for short distance but then it starts to hurt. I am grateful I found these as they feel light as racing flats but have the cushion of and a little support. Only gripe is that they are perforated on the bottom so when you step in a puddle you are wet. On the other hand during races when I dump water on myself my shoes don't get heavy! A little pricey but give 'em a shot - you will be happy you did!

I bought these for my husband after I purchased the same pair in women's style. The women's version of this shoe is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. My husband said the same thing about this pair. Right from the start...lightweight, and almost feels like you are going barefoot. Awesome look and comfort!

The Kwicky's were recommended to me by a friend that is a hard core runner. He said that they were the best shoes that he's felt in quite some time. He's right. They are light, well cushioned, water resistant, and the fit/comfort is remarkable. I couldn't go back to my Nike and Saucony shoes after wearing these!

Great shoe. One of the lightest shoes I've ever worn. Very comfortable, plenty of cush and seamless works for me very well.

My son had this shoe in a smaller size, but now that he's a 14, shoes are harder to find in the stores. Since he had liked it before, and we already knew how it fit, we went with the same exact shoe in a larger size. It is very lightweight and fits his foot even though he has a narrow heel. His feet are a little narrow, and there is definitely some extra fabric that pushes up a little over the foot, when he laces them tight. Maybe they would fit better on a fuller sized foot, but we are otherwise very pleased with the shoes.

This is my second pair of Kwicky Blade Light's, love the new color. This shoe is extremely light. Made the switch from Asics as I found them a bit heavy and wanted something a little lighter. Mainly do triathlons so I swap out the regular laces for laces that are set once and forget. Weekly mileage is fairly low (30-40) miles but do run the occasional marathon and have had no issues doing them in this shoe. I wouldn't go for the newer model, the qt2 as I have heard a lot of bad feedback. And besides, they are really this shoe with a fancy tie up system.

This diaper bag was an excellent buy. Love the color and there were just enough pockets (2 large size on the exterior. One pocket I used for a 8 oz milk bottle or a zippy cup. The 2nd pocket is for a full size can of antibacterial hand/face wipes). The interior has a large deep main compartment which in one side I add my thermal bag for 2 8oz milk bottles, another zippy cup or cold snack. I also add a very thin baby blanket rolled up and set on the other side of the main bag. There's two deep pockets next to the main compartment. One of the pocket I use to store 7 diapers. Other deep pocket is for baby snacks, a jar of food. There's a mini pocket on each side of the interior enough to place some straws, a small tube of baby sunblock, a pen, or utensils (very thin pockets mind you). The two side pockets at the top where the main compartment opens, each is sufficient for some change of clothes, a few baby towels, bibs, and perhaps first aid kit storage. The other side pockets on the exterior contains a decent size changing pad and I also add my baby wipes and some plastic trash bags to hold dirty clothes and mess. Overall, I'm satisfied with the bag. It doesn't scream out baby diaper bag, sturdy, well made, love the messenger style, and the shuttle clips on each side of the bag for stroller attachment is functional. It Can be tricky to attach to stroller when you have a full bag, and a toddler on your arms but doable. Bare in mind the bag is sufficient to store a day's worth of baby needs but I highly doubt it would be mom friendly is you're one to over stuff a diaper bag with the essentials plus tons of Knick knacks. My search for the most ideal diaper bag ends here.

My niece and nephew just had twins so I wanted to get a gift that they could both use and wasn't hard to handle while carrying 2 babies. They love it and all the organized compartments. They especially love that you can easily hook it to a stroller too! I highly recommend this particular duo diaper bag!

I bought this bag not as a diaper bag, but as a dance bag for my pre-teen daughter. We have been looking forever for a nice looking, useful bag with separate sections for all her various dance paraphernalia (ballet shoes, jazz shoes, hair stuff, water bottle, etc). It also needed to be sturdy, easy to keep clean, and waterproof. This bag fits the bill perfectly! It has tons of pockets, the size is great (neither too big nor too small), it is nice enough to carry anywhere, the pattern is both young and funky, so it should take her through many years, and it is comfortable even when i is stuffed. It works so well as a dance bag that I bought another diaper bag for my older daughter who also dances (hers is a JJ Cole). These bags are so much nicer and better than what we had when my kids were babies. Moms today are very lucky to have products like this.

Love this bag. Isn't too big or too small. Has pockets for all the toddler's stuff and all my stuff as well. Not bulky but very functional. Material is canvas and holds up well and can be washed which is a plus. Another plus is it's not so girly that the husband won't carry it. This was definitely a great spend of money for a great and functional bag.

Love this bag! I was looking for something not too big, but big enough to fit plenty for our trips out and about. This is perfect, good material, wears easy cross body or over the shoulder by adjusting straps, and doesn't look like a big bulky diaper bag. Easy access to all items too. I wish I saw this bag sooner! A great buy!

I love this bag because I use it as both a purse and a diaper bag. The strap can be worn around your body or over the shoulder. Lots of pocket space and deep enough to pack many items. All the pockets and space are easy to access. The magnetic closures are a great idea and you can't even see them. Would suggest this diaper bag to anyone.

I wanted a diaper bag that my husband could use every day, so forget about the pretty pink or the flashy purple. We decided to order this cool bag, because we liked the shape of it and all the compartments. Very good size and it's PVC, BFA, Phthalate-Free! And again great fast shipping from Zappos! You got to love it.

I wanted a bag that I could use as one for work (I am a teacher) and still have a few things in there for my children (3 years and 1 year) so when I picked them up after school, we could go someplace without stopping at home to get the diaper bag or transferring things from one bag to another. This is working out well. If I had to use it as my full-time diaper bag, for two kids, it would be too small. Also, it is kind of hard to get in to the bag; the main opening isn't that wide. But it does have a lot of compartments and for my purposes, it works. It would probably also work for a full-time diaper bag for one child only.
