Tigers - These are beautiful, well made shoes. Unfortunately they have a super high arch and can be painful.

Great Shoe - I really like the feel and look of these shoes. I was also very pleased with the service. The shipping was free and I received the product in great time. Maybe the price was a little higher than I'd like to pay, but Zappos was the only place I could find my size in stock.

Great shoes - These shoes are amazingly comfortable. Contrary to what the anonymous reviewer from Atlanta said, they absoultely do NOT have high arches. They are actually very flat shoes.

Really great shoes. They are really comfortable and light, the arch is slightly high but not painfully so, and what can I say, they're as hot in real life as they look online.

Great trainers! I just got the mexico 66 in the mail today and I absolutely love them! I have rather wide feet and the Mexico 66's fit perfectly. Don't be fooled, the rather minimal soles make for a very comfortable pair of shoes. I don't agree with a previous reviewer that these have extra high arches and can be painful, since I've had no such problems with them. Buy these shoes: they're retro-cool, unique, comfortable and well made!

Best online experience and cutest shoes! These shoes are so cute and fit perfectly. They’re comfortable and functional enough that I can wear them everyday. Thank you Zappos for the best on line experience. They made sure that I received my shoes fast and I'm truly amazed.

A nice looking shoe. I usually go for retro-ish sneakers, and these fit the bill perfectly. I am also usually an overpronator, but with these shoes the wear seems to be completely even. My only complaint is that after a few months the sole was so thin that it's hurting my foot on occasion. I also could go for a bit more mid-foot support.

Size - These shoes run large, so order a half size smaller than you usually do.

Tigers - The Tigers are the most comfotable shoes that I have ever bought. My only complaint is that the sole of the shoe wears out fairly quickly.

Onitsuka Tiger - The shoes are great and I highly recommend them. I also recommend that you don't wear them in the rain, unless you want to slip. They're not meant to be worn on rainy days. Overall, it's a great shoe!

BMX and Trials riding shoe. If u ride bmx or a trials bike, and don't ride clipped-in, then u will love the traction u will get with these shoes. Get some mean caged pedals and put your vans covered foot on em and BOOM ! You will be glued to these. Boom ! Ha ha ha.

Absolutely the coolest old school vans... Always comfy, they get cooler as they age. Before Vans moved to heavy leather based athletic style shoes I would buy a pair of these every other year. Bar none the comfiest shoes for walking, skating, working--much better than Chucks. Maybe not the best support or performance, but soooo versatile.

VANS-best mens' canvas casual shoe I have been wearing these shoes since 1978 when I used to live only one block from the very first Vans retail store in Anaheim, CA. I have owned several styles, and I wish some would come back along with more colors. SUPER SHOES!

Great Shoes. This is the best shoe ever! It has the classic Vans look and the great waffle skate design on the bottom. The best skate shoe I've ever had! The only problem is, because it's canvas, it tears whenever you skate! (You have to bend your foot, so the canvas rubs up agains the griptape.) But if you don't skate, no problem! GET THESE NOW!

"Long time no see old friend" I was a teenager in San Fernando valley California in the 70's. The only shoe that kids wore were Vans. Before school started in the fall kids would have custom Vans made to match their clothes or would buy the latest color out. All types of kids wore Vans, from skete boarders, bike riders, surfers, low riders, valley girls, punk rockers to nerds. I left Caifornia, moved to the midwest and rarely saw Vans again. 25 years later the hottest shoes for my kids to get for school are Vans. I think I'll get the kids some Vans, and I'll get me a pair of Old Skools!

Comfortable customs - I began wearing Vans in the early 80's, I had the red and white "tropical" slip on style and loved them! Now I use the classic style for bowling shoes, custom painted, but, they would be more comfortable if the ankel area was padded like the slip-ons. I love the surface area of the toes, it allows for relly cool designs without much extra stitching to work around. VANS FOREVER!

Attention all bikers - Anyone who rides with platform pedals need look no further that the Authentic Vans shoes. The flat platform of the shoe combined with the sticky rubber that incorporates a unique pattern that is perfect for any platform pedal.
