FAQs
Are the ASICS Tiger Runner II suitable for long-distance running?
The Tiger Runner II is designed with 1980s heritage in mind and updated for everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning for casual wear and light activity, they are not optimized for the support and performance required for long-distance running.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide or try them on if possible. Based on the product information, this guide is for UK size 9.5. Consider your usual shoe size and consult any available fit recommendations.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash or soak the ASICS Tiger Runner II trainers. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning only.
What is the primary inspiration for the Tiger Runner II design?
The design is inspired by the jogging movement and aesthetics of the 1980s, drawing from archived ASICS OHAIO™ and X-CALIBER™ silhouettes.
What makes the cushioning different in this model?
The Tiger Runner II features a thicker EVA midsole foam compared to some older heritage models, providing improved comfort underfoot. It also includes an EZFOAM collar for enhanced ankle comfort.
Are these trainers good for gym workouts?
These trainers are best suited for light workouts or as casual footwear. For high-intensity training or specific gym activities, dedicated trainers offering more specialized support and stability might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Consider wearing thicker or moisture-wicking socks.
Tread wear appears quickly
These shoes are best for casual wear and light activity. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces or for high-impact sports can accelerate tread wear.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions; the sound often diminishes. Ensure insoles are properly seated.

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS Tiger Runner II trainers:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
