Truly a retro shoe! It was almost like stepping back into the seventies. Considering it's vintage, it's very comfortable.

Like the original shoe. Not much in way of arch support, but the technology wasn't there in 69. I like the shoe and it is very lightweight.

Maybe my favorite casual shoe ever. I got these before the popularity of the Onitsuka Tigers blew up, and I still wear the same pair I got 4 years ago. Yeah, maybe the white leather is now all cracked worn. Yeah, maybe the heel is almost completely gone. Sure, the suede has been screwed up after years of trudging around and getting wet. But I love them! For a while I couldn\'t find them in the white leather \/ chocolate brown but I\'m glad they\'re back so I can finally bite the bullet and get a new pair of these bad boys.

I wanted a pair of sporty, funky sneakers for just wearing around, and these are perfect. There are a few odd things - a leather flap in the back with a cobra on it, for instance - but I just tuck that into the back. Fit seems fairly standard.

The shoes are great, they run a little small. So I would get a half size bigger next time. Only took about a week to break in. They are very comfortable and the show horn type tag in the back is very inventive. Great shoe.

I love the look of this shoe. The sole is kind of thin and there is no arch support, but I put in a shoe insert and that did the trick. Great for moderate length walks. Looks good with anything.

A nice looking shoe. Feels half a size bigger than marked size. Minimal arch support. Fine for walking short distances but not ideal for jobs when you are on your feet all day.

Great shoes, look cool...I love them because, where I live, they are original. You can't buy them around here so not everybody has them. They are very light shoes, and I've never felt uncomfortable in them even though they are quite flat. I love the Tiger flap in the back, it's probably my favorite part.

I have to agree with some other folks in saying that Zappos is one of my favorite online stores to shop on. The processing time and shipping time are extremely fast, which is one of the primary reasons I shop for my shoes here. The service is top notch as well. I just wish every other business I have dealt with could be the same. As far as the Tigers are concerned, this is the first pair I have purchased, and I immediately loved how light they were, as well as being completely true to size. The material is very soft so even though they may seem narrow, they should easily accommodate the average foot once they are put on. They're like a nice broke-in pair of jeans. I can see that the sole most likely will wear out sooner than other shoes, but that won't keep me from buying at least one more pair in a different color.

I'm an Onituska Tiger addict. I have 7 pairs of these shoes (not counting those that have passed) in various colors and will probably acquire more. I can't live without them. No, they are not the most comfortable shoes due to no arch support. However, they are reasonably comfortable. They fit well and are well designed. Best shoes to go with jeans and even work pants. I've been wearing these for years and there's no stopping me. I usually love these shoes without reservation. However, this edition pissed me off with the stupid Year of the Snake logo. Seriously, the logo is ugly and vary from their traditional Tigers logo. WHY??? I kept the shoes because I can't live without black and white Mexico 66 but I'm trying to keep the dumb snake embellished tabs out of sight. If you are an Onitsuka purist, I'd avoid the shoes currently for sale.

These shoes are great, they fit very true to size. They are comfortable, however, the sole is quite thin so there isn't tons of room for cushioning. Keep that in mind, they are more about looks and general comfort - I wouldn't plan on wearing them if I was on my feet all day.

The blue leather was a little shiny to begin with, but have worn in nicely. The sole is pretty thin so you wouldn’t want to be trudging around in the snow or all day at a festival in them, but they are super comfortable to wear out on the town.

These shoes are very comfortable. They don't last long so I don’t recommend every day use. (The soles wear down FAST). Also they develop a weird smell after a while, I've had 2 pairs that developed that smell, my other shoes don't. Maybe it’s just my feet. They look good though.

First off, let me say that Zappos is the best online company I have ever experienced as a shopper. Amazing service to say the very least. Now on with the Onitsuka Tigers. I love the mexico 66s because they’re super comfortable and stylish IF worn as a casual shoe.. Not much arch support as others have noted and the bottom sole does not have much grip so I advise you to stay away from wet or icy conditions. It runs a bit narrow so maybe go a half size up to accommodate toe room. Not much of a running shoe to today’s standard because some may even consider it as "flats" so I wouldn’t recommend running with it or even used to walk long distances. But if retro style and sleek look is what you’re looking for, then you cannot go wrong with the mexico 66s.

I only wish the shoe’s comfort was equal to their very cool style. The shoes are great looking. But they are not the most comfortable shoes I own by far. I ended up throwing some Gel insoles in and that has helped. And there is still room in them. No arch support, but easy to put on and off. Would I buy them again once these wear out...yes, but you definitely need the arch support. I wish they could combine both together.

Great looking shoe, runs a bit narrow -
I ordered a 6.5 (I usually wear a 6.5), but 7 fit better. A little narrow, but comfortable and super-stylish. A fun shoe.

I love these shoes. Classic Tiger style with really cool fabric. I got the white ones with canvas and totally dig the rainbow specks on the canvas. No arch support, but a great walking shoe regardless. I'm on my feet all day at work and my feet still feel great after 13 hours. I had to rip out the insoles and put in my own prescription orthoses, but it's not a problem. Would recommend this shoe to anyone who wants hip kicks without sacrificing comfort.

These feel absolutely fantastic. Light, grippy, and the quality/fit and finish of them is excellent. And they run true to size! The outsole seems to wear a tad quickly, but other than than they satisfied even my highest expectations!!

The first week or two I needed band-aids on my heels. Now that the leather has softened up, they are very comfortable as long as you don't need arch support. They slip on easily now and fit like a glove. If you need inserts I might suggest going up half a size.

These are awesome shoes. They look great, they're comfortable enough to wear around all day, and they have great arch support. I've had them about 6 months and my only beef was the flap on the back. It's very soft leather and it never stays down. Ever. My solution was to put some super glue on the very top of the rim underneath the flap and it worked way better than I expected. They never pop up anymore and it looks like they were made that way.

Nice Shoe. Great shoe. However, they do run small. If I would have known I would have ordered mine a half size bigger. They are very versatile.

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.

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.

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.
