FAQs

What makes the K-SWISS Tubes 200 different from other trainers?

The primary difference is the patented Tubes system, which uses individually tuned tubes for superior cushioning, comfort, and flexibility, unlike traditional foam midsoles.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Tubes 200 are excellent for walking and general training. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically designed for high-mileage or intense running and may not provide the specialized support required for competitive running.

How do I clean my K-SWISS Tubes 200 trainers?

Spot clean using a damp cloth and a mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

What is the benefit of the medial support in the heel?

The smaller, rigid tubes on the inside of the heel provide extra support to help reduce pronation, which is the inward rolling of the foot, promoting better alignment and stability.

Can I wear these shoes with orthotics or custom insoles?

Yes, the removable insole allows for the insertion of custom orthotics or alternative insoles if needed for additional support or comfort.

What is the intended audience for the Tubes 200?

These trainers are designed for adult males seeking comfort and support for everyday activities, walking, and general fitness training.

How long does the cushioning typically last?

With proper care and regular use, the cushioning from the Tubes system is designed to be durable. However, like all footwear, its effectiveness may gradually decrease over extended periods of heavy use.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

The Tubes 200 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the shoe conforms to your foot.

Reduced cushioning effect

Ensure the tubes are not obstructed or damaged. Check for any debris trapped within the tube structures. Regular cleaning as per care instructions can help maintain performance.

Slipping inside the shoe

Verify you have the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using insoles or ensuring your socks provide adequate grip.

Upper material feels stiff

The mesh upper is designed for breathability and durability. Continued wear will naturally soften the material. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water during cleaning.
