FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Tiger Runner II trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, inspired by vintage running shoes. They offer comfort for daily activities but are not engineered for the demands of marathon running or high-performance athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide or try on the shoes if possible. Consider your usual shoe size and the width you prefer. Many users find they fit true to size, but personal preference can vary.
What is the primary material used in these trainers?
The trainers feature synthetic leather overlays for a classic look and durability. The midsole is made of EVA foam for cushioning.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the synthetic leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is the main benefit of the EVA foam midsole?
The EVA foam midsole provides enhanced cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort during wear and making them suitable for extended periods of standing or walking.
How often should I clean my Tiger Runner II trainers?
It is recommended to wipe them clean with a damp cloth after each significant use to prevent dirt buildup. Deep cleaning with mild soap should be done as needed.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The trainers include an insole for added comfort and a degree of support. However, they are not designed with specialized orthopedic arch support and may not be sufficient for individuals with severe pronation or specific foot conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.
Outsole appears worn.
This is normal wear and tear for regular use. If traction is significantly reduced, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
White material shows dirt easily.
Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap solution as per care instructions. Consider using a protective spray for white leather/synthetic materials.
