Onitsuka Tiger by Asics Reviews
I think these are unisex shoes, which is nice because they are slightly wider than normal women's shoes. That said, they're pretty cute. I'm used to shoes with a much thicker sole, so it took me a while to get used to the thin sole, but I like it much better, and these have a higher arch than my old everyday sneakers. Slip-on wise, there's stitching connecting the tongue to the outer part of the shoe with the eyelets. Not a week in and that stitching came undone on one of the shoes. Not a huge problem because there's still elastic holding the tongue together, but still, not very strong stitching. I decided not to do anything about it (like get it fixed/return) because my feet must have decided they were too wide to fit within the confines of the shoe, so I left that shoe with only the elastic holding on. Otherwise great shoe, low profile, comfy and cute.
This is my 3rd pair of the Asics Tiger, my other 2 are the lace-up version. These are just as comfortable (amazingly). However, I have one issue with these slip-on's. After wearing them one day, the stitching along the lace holes tore. I didn't return them, prob will stitch myself-but I was a little disapointed as a result, hence the 4 star overall rating.
True to size and fits like all the Onitsuka Tigers. This one is an homage to old school cycling shoes worn by the Keirin track racers of Japan. It looks the part with the perforations and has a sole that makes it more walking shoe than anything else. This isn't a cycling shoe, not stiff enough but for casual riding but sure looks good. I've loved these shoes since first I saw them in 1968 at the Olympics.
Good, fairly comfortable. Lightweight and look incredible. The soles are a little low on traction, as these are a retro shoe.
Purchased these for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves them! Not only do they look great, but they are incredibly comfortable and sporty. Some say these are a half-size bigger than marked, but we found that to be untrue. But Zappos made it right!
Beautiful shoes and they did fit my orthotics (nasty things), even the one which adds 1/4 to the L heel and that is an accomplishment. The only problem for me was, after walking all day (6-7 hours) my little toes felt sore and cramped. Perhaps if you are not planning to walk quite so ferociously or your feet are narrower.... I bought them to look more stylish for a European vacation and that did succeed. My orthotics provided the missing arch support and I ordered up one half size.
Got them in Kelly green and even though I wasn't expecting it they came with green laces too! Awesome. Ordered half size bigger and they fit great. Width is a bit narrower than most shoes but this is great for me. They feel really comfy and I can feel that shock absorption work. Very happy with them and as always Zappos.
The Onitsuka Tiger fencing shoe has been around more than 40 years: I remember friends of mine using them when I was fencing in the early '70s. I figured that meant they had been user tested for fencing, and if they had stuck around that long, they must be reasonably good. They are. I bought two pairs: at this price, I could buy 3 pairs for the price of the Nike fencing shoe.
I send my adult son a pair of Onitsuka Tiger by Asics a couple of times a year. It started because he had a one pair years ago that he loved so much I sent him 3 pair when he graduated from college and then a couple of pairs every year.These shoes without the shoelaces are comfortable (he said) and look great (I saw them on his last visit). My son is a MBA fighter and works out constantly so wearing these to the gym to slip off an on was great idea and helped him streamline training for a recent fight (he won).Thanks for helping make shoe giving such a fun and terrific family tradition.
This is my third pair of sneakers by this brand and I am still very satisfied. This shoe has excellent breath-ability in addition to superior comfort and style. It's the ultimate 81, and it is the ultimate purchase.
Comfortable shoes and, they look cool: the perfect blend of minimalism that I look for in a shoe. However, because I tend to wear a pair of shoes all the time once I get them, I have found these to wear out a bit quicker than other Tigers I have had. I just spent 4 days in NYC and, due to the fact that I probably walked about a 5K in that time, these are not going to last much longer. I guess I have had these for about 2 months.I would probably get these again; Tigers are one of the few brands of shoes that fit me well (I wear a 12 1/2). I think that my pair of Ultimate 81s, which I have had for about 4 years now, have lasted a lot longer!
I have owned 3 pairs of shoes, with different patterns, in the last 7 years. I like them for the following reasons: They last a long time (2 years of regular use) and they look super cool. Other reasons I like them: They are lightweight They clean easily They are very comfortable They look super cool They last a long time.
Amazing arch support! Very comfortable! Be sure to order a half-size smaller. So, 12 would need 11.5.
Awesome shoes! Love the design and comfort. Glad it came in different colors so I was able to choose which one fits my personality. Hope they will be available when I need replacements in the future.
I ordered the black/white pair 5.5 size. Initially, it felt loose/bigger and I was debating to return it but I kept it because it looked nice. Once it was broken in, it feels comfortable and doesn't feel too loose. It's supple and easy to walk. The mesh also keeps my toes cool (I noticed it when it was cold outside).
I was so happy to find a pair of black sneaks that still looked feminine and casual. These are just perfect. They have a surprising amount of cushion and fit my feet perfectly. I do wish that they came with a second set of colored laces and I have started to notice the suede fading a bit so I'd recommend using suede protector on them to keep them looking a rich black. I'm usually between a 6 1/2 and a 7 and the 7 fit perfectly.
Classic shoes! fit is true to size. Can't wait for more color options! They're comfortable and light.
Great shoes! Love the way they look and feel. Very comfortable. Definitely order one-half size down as you want them to be a bit tight.
I've been wearing Onitsuka Tigers for a while (5+ years) and I wouldn't buy a shoe made by someone else unless it were a dress shoe... But this shoe made me reconsider. It looks awesome, fits comfortably, but it seems to be made differently than other Tigers. The sole is more sneaker-ish, and the fabric is not as durable. I walk all day during work and play in a band at night so they get some wear, but I didn't expect the tear so soon. Both shoes are blown out on the outside (near the pinky toe) with 1-2 inch holes now. My other Tigers are still perfect... Dirty, but perfectly good. Would not recommend for everyday/heavy usage.
