K-Swiss warranty for running & athletic shoes
The short version
K-Swiss doesn't cover everything, but keeps manufacturing defects covered to 3 months. That full coverage is the same as most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From K-Swiss's published warranty, checked October 2026.
