Cute... took a while to break in -
I really wanted black Asics but they were not to be had... so I went for these shoes and I love them. I am a solid size 7 in women's shoes and found that the men's size 6 (supposedly women's size 7.5) fit PERFECTLY. These shoes do not breathe very well. The first 2-3 days they wore through my socks and messed up my ankle area. I probably had to walk 10 miles in them to break them in. (I walk 2 miles/day most days.) Nonetheless, I love the look and now that I've broken them in and purchased some Odor Eaters. I'm good to go.

I get compliments on my shoes quite frequently. I got my usual size and they fit really well. I actually got them soaking wet one time and they still look great. I like how I got two different colors of shoes laces!

Extremely comfortable -
More arch support than I'm used to (I previously wore Converse All-Stars), these shoes are amazingly comfortable. My fiance always has to put in arch support inserts, so I think it has enough for some, not enough for others. The one gripe that I have with Onitsuka Tigers is that the color choices are sometimes hit-or-miss. This obviously depends on the person, too, but out of all their color choices, there will be sometimes one that I like. To each his own though and I really enjoy the feel of these shoes.

Kicking it Old School -
This is a pretty basic shoe; it is a true to size. It's a great shoe for getting around town or just hanging around the house.
It's definitely not a shoe I would train in, but great for kicking around.

Cute and comfortable. Well made nice leather. This is a perfect dress shoes for me, since I can't stand on 3"+ heels. I appreciate the flattering chunky heels and round toe box! I wish there were more colors to add to my wardrobe! Thanks Zappos for its fast service.

I love these shoes! I have them in the bright white and they are so summery. They go with everything. They are so comfortable (for those who are used to high) I can't wait to choose another color for the fall.

Great Martial Arts Shoe!!!
These shoes are great for kung fu! I am sure they are great for many other athletic activities as well. They sole is one of its best features. It is very flexible and has good traction. Not to mention they look awesome. I made my friends jealous the first day I rocked them. It shoe has pretty good airflow. If you normally wear pumas (I do) then you might be surprised by the width of the shoe. I have to pull the strings pretty tight.

These are just gorgeous! Sleek and sexy. I have wide calves (17.5") and most 'stretch' boots only stretch so far but these fit perfectly, they really are correct when they say they will stretch to fit your leg. The heel of the boot is shinier than I anticipated but I can live with that, I've just over the moon that I've found the exact boot style I wanted. I ordered a half size up thinking I needed to accommodate for the boot leg but I'll be adding an insole and will be good to go.

Finally able to keep a zappos order -
I am really hard to fit. So it's taken a while to get shoes I can actually where from Zappos, and I actually felt obligated to keep these after several other things that I had to return. That said, they are awesome - hooray for cheap shoes that come in the mail and look and feel great. One thing, they came with mustard green laces - which have grown on me, but not what is in the picture...

Same as it ever was . . . awesome!
I had this shoe about 8 years ago and was recently remembering how comfortable it was. So, I ordered a new pair and they are just as I remember them - the best pair of shoes I've ever owned. I'm not kidding. If you are looking for a moderately stylish, extremely comfortable walking shoe this is the one. I have super flat feet too, so if that is a concern, no worries. They do just fine.

Best tiger I've bought so far.
I own a few pairs of tigers, and was waiting to find the right color combo in the ultimate 81s. I got the all black with white stripes, and they've been better than I could even have hoped. The material is much more durable and flexible than past pairs, and they seem to fit my feet like a glove. Actually did not have the issue with size as others have noted. Can't beat these shoes, I need about 10 more pairs in different colors!

Best Tigers out there!!!
These are my new favorite tigers, next to the Mexico 66 model. These took no time to break in, definitely will buy me a new pair when mines break down, which could be a long time as my last pair lasted a loooong time.

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.

Cool retro Shoes!
I am always on the look out for cool retro comfortable shoes. I found these from Zappos and they are just as cool in person as on the site! Very comfortable. Actually, I was not expecting these to be very comfortable but they are. Good support and cushion! Look great with a pair of dark jeans!! Extra bonus from Zappos. I ordered on Monday and got them the next day for free!! Awesome service. While most companies are still processing your order I am wearing my new shoes!!
A very happy repeat customer!

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.

 |  | My son's school required black dress shoes but I wanted something he could run around in. I looked all over to find the style and size that I wanted and needed but no luck. When I searched Zappos for the shoe, I not only found what I was looking for, but it was a reasonable price too. It showed up at my door the day after I ordered it. That was great since I was running out of time (school was going to start the following week). |  | ~ , September 08 2008
