FAQs

What makes the K-SWISS Tubes 200 unique?

The unique feature is the patented 'Tubes' system in the sole. These are individually tuned tube structures that collapse and rebound to provide exceptional comfort, cushioning, and flexibility with every step.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Tubes 200 are best suited for walking, everyday wear, and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for intense or long-distance running.

How do I know if I need the medial support feature?

The medial support is designed to help reduce pronation. If you have a tendency to roll your foot inwards excessively when walking or standing, this feature could be beneficial.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always air dry.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a lightweight textile mesh, designed to provide breathability and keep your feet cool.

What is the purpose of the Ortholite sock liner?

The Die-Cut Ortholite sock liner adds an extra layer of cushioning and comfort to the footbed, enhancing the overall feel of the shoe.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by K-SWISS or consult the UK sizing indicated. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.

Troubleshooting

Unusual noise from the sole

This may be due to air movement within the tube structures. It typically does not affect performance and often subsides with use. Ensure no debris is lodged in the sole.

Discomfort after initial wear

The unique cushioning system may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lace closure to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the lacing pattern is even across the eyelets.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning is designed for longevity, but excessive wear in demanding conditions can reduce its effectiveness. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (comfort, light training).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning and comfort due to the Tubes system.
  • Flexible design promotes a natural and efficient gait.
  • Good breathability for all-day wear.
  • Provides targeted support to help mitigate pronation.
  • Lightweight construction for reduced fatigue.

Cons

  • May not offer sufficient stability for intense athletic activities.
  • The unique sole design might require a short adjustment period.
  • Durability of the tube system under extreme stress is a consideration.
  • Primarily designed for comfort and light training, not heavy-duty performance.
  • Color family is predominantly black/grey, limiting aesthetic variety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The K-SWISS Tubes 200 trainers require no setup. Simply ensure they fit correctly and tie the laces for a secure fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males. They are suitable for a variety of everyday activities, walking, and light training. They are not optimized for specialized sports requiring high levels of lateral support or impact resistance.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Clean the rubber and EVA sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Sock Liner: The Ortholite sock liner can be removed for separate cleaning if needed. Hand wash gently and allow to dry completely before reinserting.
