Comments: I am disappointed in these shoes. After a mere two months, the sole has significant wear with some shredding of material on the outside of the sole. I would not purchase this model again.

Comments: I bought these and really liked the fit. They were comfortable right out of box and required very little break-in time. The problem, though, was that after wearing them for about 2 weeks (probably 6-8 times, total), the toe rubber started to peel away from the sole. I do have some toe drag, but the wear on the Tubes was worse in 2 weeks than on either my adidas Barricades or my Asics Gel Resolutions that I've had for several months! I returned them.

Comments: I'm a diehard KSwiss Defier RS fan because of the great cushioning, stability, and classic look, but went looking for something different (and a little less pink - come on, KSwiss, everybody complains about the one Defier RS color option!). So I tried the KSwiss BigShots, KSwiss Tubes, and Lacoste Repel 2. Of the three, I really wanted to like the Lacoste because I thought they looked good. They fit great but the soles were as hard as a rock. The BigShots had some cushioning, but the toe box felt a little too roomy. So, even though the Tubes reminded me of a little kid shoe that would light up when I walked, I tried them on. I was pleasantly surprised. They had good cushioning, good fit, and really didn't look that bad. I've worn them for a few matches and am very happy with them. They are a little warmer than I expected, I don't think the mesh on the top helps much, but no worse than the Defiers. I will definitely buy these again. great fit, decent cushioning, decent looks, good stability.
