What do you think of KSwiss Tubes and are they for cross tra

Frumpy2Fit

Hi everyone! I have recently started exercising and I have decided that if I lose another 7 lbs. I am going to invest in a nice pair of workout shoes -- keyword being "workout', not just running. I would like to wear them when I go to the gym. I like to use the elliptical, the treadmill, and do JM 30 day shred but I was told that the KSwiss Tubes may not be best for this because they are not necessary a "crosstrainer" shoe. Does anyone own these and have an opinon on them? Thanks!!!

I love my Tubes! I use them for the Shred, Insanity, Zumba, everything and the're great. Comfy and light, I wear them everywhere! The only thing I can't do in them is run. I need my Asics for that.

Which ones do you have. I saw there was a "run 100", a "run 50" and some other kind.... Why can't you run in them? Are they uncomfortable when you run?

I have the Tubes 100, black and blue. I need a lot of support when I run because of my overpronation, so I wear Asics gt-2100 series. The Tubes don't have enough support for me for running, but I wear them for everything else. After wearing the Tubes, my Asics feel like cement blocks on my feet!

Thank you so much for your response! You definitely just helped me make up my mind I'm going to be buying them when I reach my first mini-goal!

You won't be disappointed. In fact I want them in another color! Good luck to you

i think theyll be fine for that. Ive had some for 5 months and theyre fine for light running and gym work. Very comfortable. Only just swapped now for some proper running shoes

How far do you run in them? I would like to at least be able to run a 5K in them :-\
