Customer Reviews K-Swiss Tubes™ Run 100

Size 9 weight 324 grams. Pros: Light, Breathable, & [for me anyway] good heel support for such a light shoe. Cons: Poor traction. The tread wears within the first months of use, leaving a smooth sole = even less traction. I don't wear these shoes when it's wet out or on trails; just too slippery.

These shoes are very nice, they look great, but I think the building material is not very strong. I will try to use them carefully so they can last enough.

My husband loves these shoes. He did have a small problem in the beginning with one of the heels rubbing (enough to cause a blister) but two uses later the problem disappeared. Very comfortable and supportive.

When I bought the shoes, I didn't pay much attention to the description of the shoes. So when I felt the ground a lot closer, I was a little surprised. In other shoes, I usually feel the soles. I thought these shoes were like my other shoes. Now I am used to this type of soles. Another thing I felt was that the traction wasn't so good on wet surfaces. Now I know I need to be watchful when walking on wet surfaces. One last thing I want to mention is that I had to put a Band-Aid on my left heel for about two weeks because the back of the left shoe was rubbing against my heel. Overall, I am satisfied with the shoes.

Very comfortable shoes. Satisfied with the purchase, just get a bit chilly from the mesh at the toes, but will be a good summer shoe.

Plenty of room for my toes. I was looking for some black work shoes to keep comfortable during my 11+ hour workdays and these fit the bill.

This would be a great shoe for a lighter man. I am 6'4" and 235 lbs., and the tubes flatten out on me, which sort of defeats (or defeets) the purpose of them.

Supportive comfortable shoe...the tubes make the shoe feel spongy so you may feel like your not getting the support. I run a couple times a week and these shoes do pretty well. I might consider them again if they go on sale but a diff color.

I ordered these because they are wide width. Feel pretty comfortable so far, have only worn them twice. Think they might feel even better if I put my own insole into them

I wear a size 14 in Saucony, but had to get a size 15 in these K-Swiss to get the right fit. I have found these to be very comfortable.

Love the shoe - tubes are great - lightweight, though a just little stiff at first. Awesome support from the first step...but beware of the colors you see on your computer display! I thought I was ordering a "white fade to black" with white laces, white collar, white toe cap and heel. However, this combo is actually metallic silver / gray. Even after adjusting the brightness on my monitor, the shoes still does not look like what arrived in the box. Yet and still, I'm happy with my purchase.

Bought this shoe because of the great reviews. I will say that walking around in this shoe is very comfortable, and easy to wear; however, running in it for me personally it's not the best I've had. I had some mild shin pain the first couple of times I've used them, when I normally don't in my Saucony running shoes. Overall I'd recommend the shoes, but perhaps not as your main running shoe. I wear size 15 so it's always possible the shoe just wasn't designed for big feet.

Like others have said, the upper part of the shoe fits my foot well but I can feel the treads through the insole. These were uncomfortable to wear around the house for 10 minutes.

These are definitely stylish, and I've received a few positive comments about them. However, some of the "tubes" have broken over the past few months, and today, a whole strip of five tubes came unglued from the sole. I'm ultimately disappointed in the poor quality, and I'll be seeking a refund.

They look nice but they fall apart fast. Within less than two days the rubber bottom started tearing away from the foam.

Well, I wore these for 10 days but did not like the shape of the top near the outside of the toes. It was curled and never did straighten out. Maybe this was just a fluke since I cannot say all would be like this. This was my first adventure away from New Balance. The cushioning seemed adequate. Very good price point but can't say anything about durability since I requested a New Balance replacement.

I THOUGHT I was buying a tube that had a mesh upper like my first pair. This new shoe DOES NOT BREATH and is too hot to wear at this time. Perhaps in winter, they will be fine. If you offer this shoe with the same appearance but has a mesh upper, please let me know, so I can buy!

I just noticed the price dropped since I sent back my shoes. These shoes were horrid. I wore them twice then noticed the back of my heel was bleeding. The flimsy plastic that held up the back of the shoe was sharp and sticking through the fabric around it and cutting into my foot. These shoes looked pretty cool online but in person are a bit ugly. They probably would have been nice shoes. They had a lot of spring as far as I could tell and everything other than that was comfortable. I ended up buying a pair of blue Nike trainers at a store at the mall and I love them so much more.

These shoes looked good from all the reviews, that was why I got them. I put them on and immediately felt discomfort in the ball of my foot. It felt like they were compressing my foot horizontally. Later, when I walked around in them, the "tube technology" could be felt through the sole of the shoe. This was very uncomfortable. I am returning these today. Not as good as the reviews say they are.

Didn't even have them worn for one day and one of the tubes near the arch had already torn. They are confortable shoes with an interesting bounce on the heel, but the design of the sole is just not good at all.

These did not live up the description as far as I'm concerned. The tubes basically felt like hard plastic and offered no cushioning or extra shock absorption at all. They look like cool new "tech" but I think it's a cool new fad.

Worst shoes ever, 5 weeks and the tubes are breaking. Started at the back. Do not recommend them to anyone.

They fit well and worked great at first. After a few months, the problem with the design reared its ugly head. I was walking and my shoe felt weird. One of the supports attaching the tubes to the sole had broken and fell off. It rendered the shoe unusable. I never used these shoes for running, only walking.

In these shoes, I was walking on ceramic tile that had a few wet spots. I slipped, almost fell in what would have been a serious fall but just narrowly caught myself. This unsure footing in just a few bits of water, makes them unwearable. By the way, I am an athlete and cannot remember a time when I have slipped and fallen...not saying it never happened, just that a lot of water under the bridge since the last.
