I purchased these shoes for my daughter, she loves them, the only problem was on the reviews it says the shoe felt like half a size too big, so she ordered a half size smaller and then we had to ship back and reorder.

Love the fit; love the color scheme (I got the green and grey). I'll enjoy wearing these around the hills of Seattle on cool, autumn days.

I have loved these shoes from the moment I got it in the mail. I ended up getting the black/stone grey and have not been disappointed. I wear them every day for work and there was absolutely no break-in period as they felt good since day one. After reading the other reviews I ordered a half size smaller and it fits perfectly (only marked "felt a half size larger than marked" since they would have been big had I ordered my regular size). It was my first time finding a shoe that fit correctly after sending 4 other brands/shoes back. Would definitely recommend!

Onitsuka kicks in all the doors... once again!
Just love this shoe. I have owned close to 10 pairs now. They don't last too long (sole/support wise), but for the price and the fashion conscious, they are exactly what the doctor ordered. This pair (grey/lime green) complimented my recent purchase of the rasta red, yellow, green. I like the subtlety of the grey/green. Yes, it's vibrant, but not as loud as the rastas. Can be dressed up or down and today sits comfortably on my feet with suit pants, a dress shirt, and loud cuff-links. Absolutely versatile and well worth the buy. Now if only they could make the rubber support in the sole a little more durable as after 2-3 months of casual wear (2x per week), it feels like you are walking barefoot.

Great shoe! I use this shoe just for walking around town. I also bike a lot and will say that since the bottoms of this shoe do not have giant grips on them like Saucony's or New Balance, it’s making slipping your feet in and out of toe clips much easier. This is an all around good shoe.

These shoes are super cute and are pretty decent for running. I run 4-6 miles daily in these and my knees and ankles feel fine. I had first ordered one half size down as per other reviews but found them to pinch my toes. I would suggest sticking with your regular shoe size.

My new "go-to" sneakers.
I love these shoes. I ordered the light grey/dark grey/orange version and they look very cool with skinny jeans. My only complaint is that there's a thin white line along the sides of the sole, but it's a pretty minor issue. Comfort-wise, they feel perfect when I wear them.

These are the coolest sneaks I've had since my rhinestone Elleses I had in the 5th grade! Great fit, not too light, not too heavy with just enough foot support. Fantastic shoes. I'm going to have to get a few more pairs maybe.

I always wanted a pair of these style Asics so I bought two pair, and to say the least I wasn't disappointed. They feel great, no break-in period and I've gotten at least one compliment every time I've worn either pair. And of course, they were here within two days. Very happy with them.

Now, I should explain that these are the only sneakers I wear, and I have them in about 6 different limited edition colors. I love 'em, you really can't go wrong with 'em, and best of all, they won't set you back $100.

Truly ultimate!
I ordered these shoes as a replacement for another pair that had worn out. These shoes are great! They look really good, and they were just what I wanted. I have a bit of extra room in the toe area, but to be fair my toes are very short, and if I wear thick socks it is not an issue.
I appreciate the attention to detail on these shoes; the foam on the inner edge of the shoe is cut so that it accentuates the arch.
I look forward to wearing these for a long time!

Extremely comfortable shoe, not tons of support, but enough. Stylish as well =) just buy them half a size smaller than you wear.

Jog in these suckers daily. Going on my third pair. Not for those who need a ton of arch support. Love the low profile, can't stand shoes with tons and tons of padding.

Great shoes with a great feel -
These sneakers are the best pair of shoes I've ever bought. They look great and are very comfortable. Some people might complain of bad arch support but to me, I think it has excellent arch support. There's a curve in the insole that fits the contours of your arch but I figure this might be uncomfortable to people who have flat feet or relatively low arches. I got the ones with the white/black/red/green/yellow color scheme and they look fantastic. I've gotten many compliments and it's good to have shoes that many people don't have. Ultimate 81's are also light and breathable. Good for every day use or for sports (but I don't recommend running for long distances in anything but running shoes). It won't have your feet sore at the end of the day unlike shoes like Converse All-Stars (which I used to own before getting these).

These shoes are overall comfortable with the exception of the back/heel. Even socks that cover the whole ankle, I got blisters. Hopefully with some more wear they will become more comfortable. I normally wear an 8, but ordered a 7.5 since that’s what I have in another pair of Tigers and they fit well. I got the red/green/yellow ones and I get compliments on them all the time! Very good looking shoes. Great customer service, too! I only picked standard shipping and got them the very next day! Haven't had that happen anywhere else on the web.

About to order my third pair!
A couple years ago my daughter lent me her pair (red with red stripes) and she never got them back. Last fall, as the "borrowed" pair was finally showing some wear, I broke down and ordered my own from Zappos (very cool grey, mustard, and red) and wear them practically any time when I'm not working. So now it's time for another pair. Can you tell I LOVE THESE SHOES??? Friend from work said to me: "Hey, cool kicks! My kid has those." Look, they're just great shoes. As a woman, I wear the men's 8.5 Tiger's, and I usually take a woman's size 10, so they probably run a tad big, after you've worn them for a bit (just like the other reviewers have said).

Asics Delivers Dope Kicks -
I just love these shoes. The Onitsuka model is timelessly cool. Urban and just plain classy, it can be dressed up or down and will always deliver compliments. I have purchased 8 or 9 pair of these and continue to want a new color, the latest purchase being the Rastafarian green/yellow/red combo. Man, does the green pop! Almost reflective at night. They do wear out rather quickly, certainly not a runner or good track shoe; instead purely for casual wear and good times. The size 14 fits my somewhat narrow (but average I would say) 14-15 very well, with ample room in the toe box. Prolonged wear may leave your heel a little tired and sore from lack of arch support... prolonged being a good 14-15 hour pub binge day/night with plenty of walking. For the most part, and for the price, these can't be beat to dress you up nicely. Sport them with panache!

Wow -
I'm really happy with these shoes. I had bought some New Balance 595s for work, which worked out great, but due to the environment, they got super dirty super fast. I wanted some other shoes to wear for everyday purposes and a friend told me about Asics. I found these, ordered them yesterday, and just got them today! I cannot begin to explain how comfortable they are and by what I've seen with other Asics, I think these will last a long, long time. They're great looking, great feeling, and the service with Zappos once again leaves me with a superb feeling.

I really like them a lot. It’s a good looking and comfortable shoe. It’s very lightweight and gives a decent amount of support. It’s pretty flat though, so if you need arch support, it may not be for you.

I needed a dressy shoe with not too much heel. After shopping my local mall and not finding anything I found Zappos.com...not only were the shoes perfect, they arrived the following business day. I will definitely become a more frequent Zappos.com buyer! Thanks!
