I really love the style and comfort of K Swiss shoes, and in the USA at least, they always seem to be marked down to a great price. But, although stores are well stocked with Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma, etc., I have not yet seen K Swiss, and no store employee recognizes the name.

Is there anywhere in Seoul to buy them? I live in Sinchon (Ewha/Yonsei area). Google searches have been unsuccessful so far, please help

Thank you I have one other random question. Yesterday I got back to Seoul after a vacation--so it was my first real snow here--and I was leaving disgusting brown slime tracks everywhere I went (I mean in situations where I didn't take my shoes off, like a fast food place, lobby, etc.). Didn't need to be told it was a faux pas, I was grossing myself out. I guess, even if you wipe your shoes on a mat, the snow in your sneaker treads starts to melt and go everywhere. Today I'm going to wear different shoes with flat soles. Is there any other way to get rid of this messiness? (When I was little in New England, people would wear rubber covers over their shoes--don't even know what they're called--but I haven't seen anyone at all wear those since childhood.)

There is a K-Swiss store in Myeongdong....just saw it this past weekend.
