Cute and comfortable -
These shoes fit like a sock, no slipping at all. They are light and nimble. They don't have much support or cushioning, however, and they are pretty hot. Also, they are oddly slippery on vinyl. Other than that, I love them! Men's sizes are a bit weird. I ended up getting a size larger than recommended.

Wish it was more girly -
Great shoe for women too. I wish they had more colors that were more gender appropriate. I picked up the shoe in Birch/India Ink/Latte. It matches my dark jeans and is great for running errands/going to class. I'm hoping the leather is more water resistant than the canvas shoe would be. I ordered the white canvas/white but it looks like a cheerleading shoe, so I returned it! Overall so comfy and good support.

Comfort and Fit -
These Tiger's are a lightweight low-profile sneaker, with great fit, good cushioning and some arch support as well. They are well ventilated and quite comfortable for walking. I'm a size 12, and it's difficult to find truly well made, good fitting shoes. These are great.

Apprehensive at first, satisfied in the end -
When I first put these on, I was a little sad that they weren't going to fit. The top toe part was a little snug, just above my big toe knuckle. After a few hours of wearing though, they loosened up. Now, they are my most comfortable pair of shoes, and I plan on ordering at least another pair. So great.

The history of Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes began with the establishment of Onitsuka Co. Ltd. in 1949. Based on the philosophy of bringing up sound youth through sports, the company has maintained the tradition of specializing in the manufacturing of sports shoes and clothing using original ideas and applying epoch-making techniques.
As the Japanese people recovered from the second world war and began to appreciate the benefits of sports, Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes were on their feet. The first basketball shoes in Japan had a tiger face design on the arch of the foot and this became Onitsuka's trademark. In the 1960's, Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes were worn not only by the Japanese, but also by top foreign athletes.
In 2001, ASICS America Corporation quietly resurrected the Onitsuka Tiger™ brand with original models of Onitsuka shoes and Onitsuka clothing updated in today's flavorful colors. Over the past few years, the Onitsuka Tiger™ brand has been enjoying a growing number of new, dedicated shoe followers along with a steady desire for Onitsuka clothing and Onitsuka bags, realized today on Zappos.com. Through sometimes secretive grassroots marketing efforts, ASICS® has been able to spread this word about this authentic comeback for Onitsuka Tiger™.
Now that the secret is out... Onitsuka Tiger™ is a growing and highly sought after brand with its ever-growing lineup of Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes, Onitsuka Tiger™ clothing and Onitsuka Tiger™ bags. There are more Onitsuka Tiger™ mens’s and Onitsuka Tiger™ women’s models just sitting in the ASICS® vault waiting to be re-released. The future is what this retro brand has to look forward to. Because ASICS® knows that there are people out there who don't need to run fast...they just want to look good.

I love Asics. Their shoes always fit the way they are supposed to, and look great, too. I am on my feet all day, 5 days a week, so my last pair of Onitsuka Tigers wore out within two months. Granted, that's heavy duty wear and tear. Otherwise, my Asics of all shapes have always lasted forever. Great shoe--a must!

Onitsuka Tiger -
These shoes are great! So comfortable and cute. I saw them on Uma Thurman in Kill Bill and they looked so cute with her jeans that I had to get a pair, since then, they are the only tennis shoes I buy. I like the white with red stripes best, but they have all different colors.

Great little shoe -
I wanted a cute, comfortable, walking shoe but didn't want anything clunky, so I opted for the Tiger/Mexico. I initially ordered my normal size 7 which fit fine with socks but needed a half size smaller for my second pair, which I wear without socks. Both were worn right out of the box while on a trip to New Orleans, which involved lots of walking. I had to glue down the little flap at the heel because it kept sticking up.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable and sleek. I wore them to prom and they were a tremendous hit! I recommend any Onitsuka Tiger shoe to anyone looking for style, comfort, and durability for a reasonable price. I have three different pair and they are all amazing.

I love these shoes.
These shoes are great, very stylish. I feel they were worth every penny. Despite their looks, these are not good walking shoes, not for long distances anyway. One very minor thing too, the tiger flaps in the back never stay down! It's a stupid thing to complain about but I'm just wondering how long it will actually take for those things to stay down on their own.

Great looking Onitsuka Tiger -
This is a classic model of Tiger. I really like the way this pair of shoes look. I bought two pairs, actually - White/Graphite and White/Black Etched/Red. They both look great.
And this order is my third order of Tiger from Zappos. Zappos has a huge variety of Tiger that I have ever found!!

Good, but sometimes annoying -
The shoe is very light and easy to run with. It's easy to slip on in a hurry with the small 'tiger' tab in the back. The only problem that I can think of with the shoe is that occasionally there is some discomfort on the bottom of the right foot. It happens only every once in a while and you can easily just get used to it. BUT overall it's a great shoe.

The Mexico 66 is pretty good, but a little narrow. It's super comfy, and super sleek, but I wouldn't recommend using these for any sports. I bought the Royal/White ones and many people turned their heads to take as second glance.

I love these shoes! They`re really comfortable, and they look great! They seem a bit big, though, plus the color wasn`t exactly what I was expecting--looked grey online, but were actually black.

Amazing -
These are probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned... someone earlier was spot on when he said it's like wearing a sock not a shoe. I can walk for days in these and I've received multiple compliments; truly is a unisex shoe.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Already a Classic -
This is my 3rd pair of this sneaker. I love the fit, the look, and the price is fair. Only thing that's weird is i can never get the flap in the back to fold over, so it kind of stands up (no big deal), and there isn't a lot of cushion/absorption. Obviously you wouldn't want to use this shoe for athletics.

Tigers are the best!
I first saw this brand in Italy last fall and had to get a pair. Of course Zappos carried them so I ordered a pair in white/black etched/red and fell in love! I have received so many compliments on them! They are so comfortable and look awesome. They have a uniqueness to them as I haven't seen them on many people in LA.

LOVE this shoe!
I first noticed Tigers worn on vacation in Europe last fall and had to get a pair. I decided to check out Zappos when I returned stateside so I could test them out before committing (gotta love Zappos generous return policy!). I got this pair in Birch/Indian Ink/Latte after falling in love with a White/Black/Red pair. They are SO comfy and need absolutely no breaking in. I used to be a flip flops only on weekends kind of girl but now I rarely wear my flip flops.

Light & Easy -
Nice kicks. A little bit pricier than I've seen on the streets here in N.Y. but I bought these specifically for the color, which I HAVE NOT seen here in N.Y. These are super light. I almost don't feel them on my feet at all. They are not too good when walking on the pavement for long periods of time though. Recommend getting some gel insoles to add to it. Otherwise, all gravy.
