I bought these shoes for my son and I had to return because they were the wrong color. I called and received the best customer service the next day I received the right color shoes. My son loves them. He says they are very comfortable and 'cool' looking.

Love these shoes! (I'm wearing them now.) Very stylish and comfy. These are my third pair of Tigers; I love that there are so many fun colors to choose from. I always get compliments no matter which pair I wear. A big thanks to Zappos.com for being such a wonderful company. I have always had great experiences working with them and will continue to be a customer in the future.

These are one of the best shoes I've bought. They are very comfortable and true to size. They are also very inexpensive. They are great for a party or just to go do some shopping.

Sweet Asics Onitsuka Tigers in Snakeskin, can't beat that with a wiffle ball bat. Great for wider feet. Roomy toe box. If you're used to buying shoes slightly larger for a roomier fit, try going for your true shoe size. Great style from Asics!

I bought the blue/mandarin variation. Let me tell you, they are real attention grabbers! My coworkers already compliment me many times for them. Just great! Arch support is minimal. But it's really a non-issue.

Loved these shoes. I think a lot of people get these shoes as just walking/day shoes. However, I have started using these as my primary running shoe for marathon training. I've been one of those folks who is starting to embrace the less on your feet is more (barefoot running, vibram five-fingers, etc.) philosophy. But I found that I couldn't really swing running 15-20 miles barefoot in the city. These were a perfect running shoe for anyone who is looking for an extremely lightweight shoe with very little heel padding, but still extremely comfortable. I've been able to crank out 20 mile runs in these and my feet have felt great and I have been able to more consistently avoid heel strike running (as you do barefoot). Love them.

I have the black/steel grey and they look great. I don\'t do any running or play sports in them so I can\'t comment about that but they are comfortable for casual wear. They are very lightweight too. I think the arch support could have been better though.

These shoes are very comfortable. I ordered them because I needed some good walking shoes for my Las Vegas trip. I was able to walk all day in them without any discomfort. The section of the shoe on top of the toes is made of mesh, so my toes stayed nice and cool. I might want to reconsider wearing them in winter because I got a good draft of air coming through. These shoes are a must! Plus they look awesome on.

You should run in these shoes. You\'ll look better than the others in their ugly cushy shoes, and they\'re better for your body, too. Viva la vintage running shoe revolution!

These shoes are extremely comfortable and a good subtle for kids who appreciate their sneakers. I personally was looking for something louder than I received, which was the white and green striped ones. I think I may return to Gola shoes instead.

I bought these shoes as part of my Black Mamba/Kill Bill Halloween outfit. I normally wear a 9N in Asics running shoes, so I had to order an 8 1/2M. The slightly smaller length allows me to wear the medium width (wouldn\'t work if I was actually to do anything athletic in them), but as a result the back of the shoe rubs my Achilles a bit; as long as I wear socks I\'m fine. They were perfect for the costume, and fly enough to wear after Halloween.

I really enjoy these shoes. They are comfortable and durable. Although they were originally designed for running, I wear them on casual occasions. All in all a great shoe.

Had a little trouble when going through the online ordering, so I called in and the rep setup an account and put my order through within 10 minutes; received the shoes next day, on free shipping! Wow! As for the shoes, I would say no doubt they're a half size (if not a little bit more) too big. I ordered the black/snakeskin color, they look awesome! Nobody else has them either, so many compliments on that, too! Will be buying more soon; great shoe, amazing service!

Great shoes! They are really comfortable, I bought them for work and they are great to wear all day. I love all the colors they offer but could only buy the the black ones. I had to order one size down from my usual 8 1/2.

I do parkour so I need a comfortable shoe with a sticky and thinner sole, and this shoe is it. I just bought my second pair because they\'re perfect for what I do. It feels like the shoe is part of my foot, real natural feeling.

When shopping Zappos, I often have to try a few sizes to get one that fits right. My official size is a 12 and the size 12 Tigers fit perfectly. My only complaint is that they bite a little at the top of the heel. However, this is mitigated more than in most shoes with this problem by a soft and slippery leather installed there. I'm very satisfied.

I have looked at this shoe a number of time but just recently decided to purchase them. I got it in blue with orange logo and laces. The pair also comes with a pair of blue laces if someone wants to change a look. For about a week I had orange laces in but then switched to blue and I like the look of it with blue more then with orange. The shoe fits true to Asics true size which is about 0.5 a size over your regular size. The shoe is also very comfortable for all day wear.

I got these shoes for my teenager. She says she likes them. Also that they're good and comfortable. She suggests wearing higher socks because the backs are high and give blisters without socks.

Nice, light, breathable trainers. I bought the silver and gold snakeskin-patterned ones and liked the look very well except for the laces, which were a different color from the silver on the shoe and had little silver flecks that made them look cheap. I swapped for some plain black laces and they look excellent. Like almost all the athletic shoes I have owned, they press on the tops of my feet if laced tightly and make my toes numb.

Utterly comfortable. Relatively easy to clean. Lightweight and well-made, these shoes are worth what they cost. I get a lot of comments about how cool they look. My only advice for prospect buyers, don\'t wear them when it is raining or muddy: the midsoles of the shoes are white, and will easily stain. Which makes your brand new shoes look otherwise.

The order arrived early, so I was very excited! The shoes fit and look great! They don\'t have much cushioning, so I don\'t think they will be so comfy for the Wisconsin winter ahead, but they breathe nicely and are great for 55-75 degree weather.

I got the grey/black/orange ones in size 7, and I really like them. I had a different style of Onitsuka shoes a while back, but these are definitely a more retro style in shape and fit. They feel looser than my last pair, and come up higher around my ankles (they just barely graze those knobby bones). But overall, I think that once I break them in some more they will be very comfortable. I have always had good experiences with Asics, and I have heard that that is usually fairly common amongst those with smaller feet.

You make my life easier and I have had better luck ordering thru you than going to the store and trying on the clothes. Your quick and returns are quick. Your customer service rocks and I love, love you all. Thank you. If I can ever do anything for you like a survey or anything... Im here for you. Love, love you. |  | ~ , October 01 2009
