It's like walking on air! My job demands me to me be on my feet all day long. I bought these shoes specifically for that & what a great choice I made. Definitely worth the money.

Overall, these shoes are great. They're very stylish. I'm wearing them purely for fashion, not for sport, so they worked just fine but they do lack cushion in the sole, so after a while, they weren't super comfortable, but also not really uncomfortable. They do seem to run a half size small.

Great shoes. I have"nurses feet"after working for 40 some years. I wear a 9.5 usually. These are a 10. They fit perfectly. A little too colorful but I can adapt.

Fits true to size. Lightweight, COMFORTABLE all day long. I bought two pair to alternate days as work footwear. Excellent shoe. And, Zappos it true to their word with exchanges when I ordered the wrong color! Thanks, Zappos!

Very comfortable & supportive. Bought these for a trip to Europe involving lots of walking. The shoes were great -- my legs never felt tired and my feet had support. No breaking in/blisters or anything. I usually wear an 8 but went up half size to 8 1/2. Fit nicely - room for comfort and foot expansion from lots of walking.

When I first tried these on, I was apprehensive that the arch area would be too narrow or tight (I have relatively flat feet) but after wearing this a few times, the shoes loosened up and they were fine. I wear these sneakers on weekends when I'm walking around the city and they're perfect for that. The shoes are extremely comfortable. They have enough of a lift so I'm not stepping on my jeans (unlike Pumas). If I had more closet space I would look to buy a few more of these shoes in different colors.

This is my second pair of these shoes - new color, same great shoe. Lightweight, super comfy, always getting comments on how cute they are. I work on my feet a lot and find them a good all day shoe (especially since they breathe a bit). I'll be back for more. And Zappos, how I love thee! On more than one occasion you have surprised me with overnight shipping. When I am expecting my shoes in 4-6 days, nothing makes me happier than coming home from work the next day to surprise overnight shoes. Thank you!

I Love these shoes.... my 3rd pair so far. My only complaint is the squeaky noise the rubber sole makes on certain floors, it gets a bit better over time but doesn’t go away completely

I originally bought a pair of onitsuka tiger slip on shoes in Japan and loved them, so I was on the lookout for other shoes from the brand. My only requirement was that the shoes be non-leather, which is sometimes hard to find. Then I saw these on sale on Zappos. I ordered two colors. They’re very comfortable and stylish, and they felt true to size.

I absolutely love these. I have flat feet, which makes it very uncomfortable for me to wear shoes that have high arch support. These are soft enough to provide the required support without causing discomfort. I use these for CrossFit training - maybe not what others would use but it works for me. Plus I got them on sale at a great price.

They make my stumpy feet look longer and more slender. They fit very well. I like the color too.

I followed other review suggestions and we t up a half size. Way too big! I could probably go a half size below my normal shoe size and be fine. I ordered the teal. They are actually corduroy and synthetic leather, not mesh.

The Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 is one of my favorite sneaker of all time. This particular pair are turning out great, as always! The red is a bit more on the pink side than true red. Also, I am a size 7 and I find that the shoes fit me best with thicker athletic-type socks. If I was going in thin socks or none at all, I would need to size down by half. Great shoes!

Love these shoes. Very comfortable. I bought these primarily to commute to and from work, but they are stylish enough to wear all day in jeans or black pants.

These shoes look exactly like the picture. They fit great and look great. I love them! I always order up half size in Asics shoes. Same here.

Very cute, nice light sneakers! Just what I was looking for. I was concerned about the size, a lot of people suggested going up a half size - I didn't need to.

These shoes are very cute and very comfortable. I wouldn't use them so much for "running-running" but they are great to walk in and I jog some as well. All in all I recommend, unless you want some serious running shoes.

I love these shoes. They are comfortable and the colors are great. I was concerned they wouldn't match with many things but I was wrong. I even wore them with red jeans today and they looked great. I wear them as a casual sneaker so I can't say if they would work for running. But for chasing my toddler around, perfect. And they are Vegan too, if that matters to you.

These sneakers are adorable and comfy right out of the box. I usually wear an 8, but took the advice of several reviewers and ordered both 8 and 8.5 to try...the extra half size up was perfect.

This is my second pair of Onitsuka Tigers. They are even better than my previous pair because of a better, sturdier fabric. They are intentionally garish but that's what I love about these shoes. I have a slightly wide foot and toes that usually need a high/deep toe box. These are perfect. Yes, I first felt the upper fabric but after a few wearings, they are just right for me.

Lightweight, slight arch support (more than my first pair of Tigers). Good looking, too! Slightly narrower than expected but that's good for me since I normally wear a narrow show. Perfect for Tai Chi.

I love these shoes. They fit perfectly and they are comfortable. The neon yellow/green attracts attention--in a good way.
