FAQs

How do the K-SWISS Tubes 200 provide cushioning?

The trainers feature a patented 'Tubes' system on the sole, comprised of individually tuned tube structures that compress and rebound with each step, absorbing impact and providing a cushioned feel.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While they offer excellent cushioning for daily wear and light training, they are not specifically designed for the high demands of marathon running. For such activities, specialized running shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the Tubes 200 trainers?

Clean them using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing. Ensure they are air-dried away from direct heat.

What is the benefit of the medial support?

The smaller, rigid tubes inside the heel provide extra support to the inner side of the foot, which helps to reduce overpronation (inward rolling of the foot) and improve alignment.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The mesh upper provides breathability but may not offer significant water resistance. For very wet conditions, waterproof footwear is recommended. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they become damp.

What is the primary advantage of the Tubes 200 over other trainers?

The primary advantage is the unique K-SWISS Tubes system, which offers a combination of exceptional cushioning, flexibility, and support not found in conventional trainer designs.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify width options. It is recommended to check sizing guides or try them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning effect

Ensure the tubes are not blocked by debris. Gently clean the sole with a damp cloth. The cushioning may also naturally decrease slightly over extensive use.

Discomfort during initial wear

The Tubes system may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration.

Foul odor

Remove the insoles and wash them separately. Ensure the trainers are thoroughly aired out after each use. Using an odor-absorbing spray or powder can also help.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not scrub vigorously, as this can damage the mesh fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort and cushioning due to the Tubes system.
  • Improved flexibility for a smoother walking or running experience.
  • Effective medial support to help control pronation.
  • Breathable upper material keeps feet cool and dry.
  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue during prolonged use.

Cons

  • The unique cushioning may take some time to get used to.
  • May not provide the level of rigid support required for very intense athletic training.
  • Tubes system might be susceptible to clogging with fine debris if used in very dusty environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for adults engaging in walking, light training, and daily activities. They are designed for general use and are compatible with most standard athletic socks.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and the Tubes system.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures.
