I love these shoes! So comfortable. Great Saturday running around shoes. I usually wear 8 1/2 in Asics, but these were 8 and fit perfectly.

These are cute, but they seem to run small and a bit on the narrow side. Probably not the best choice if you usually need extra room across the toe box.

Love these shoes, but had to return them due to the nylon ripping after second wear. Good arch support; but the back of the sneakers sit fairly high on back of heel. Of course, Awsome Styling - though it's true they do run narrow. I will likely order another pair but with mesh instead of full nylon. Also, the full nylon styling makes the feet on the warm side. Very nice Zappos online chat lady helped me with the return with zero hassle.

Zappos is awesome. As for the Tiger (Ultimate 81), I have been buying/wearing this shoe for 5 years. I love the style, and the fit is good, except I can't use orthotics in them; the innersole thingy doesn't come out to make room. But that's okay; I don't use these for sport. Fun shoes that also seem to last a long time.

These are really cute sneakers and I receive lots of compliments on them. They are comfortable but don\'t expect too much cushion or arch support. I don\'t wear sneakers too often so these work for me. I wouldn\'t wear these for long periods of time as the bottoms are kind of thin and the soles of my feet start to feel it after awhile.

Great shoes if you're looking for something cool but modest. I use them just to hang out since there isn't a ton of arch support, but I've gotten a lot of compliments!

These boots are very tight. I'm a size 5 in the Ugg classics and I'm petite and skinny. The calf of the boots is really tight and you can't tuck your jeans into them. I recommend getting the next size up.

These shoes look very nice. I've gotten a few compliments from strangers even. It's hard for me to find shoes that fit, but these fit pretty well. I do wish there were more cushioning and support, but I can put my arch supports in the shoes just fine, so that's a plus.

Sneaker Fits Perfect, Color Not So Cute - These shoes are the best sneakers you will ever wear on your feet! They're so comfy and look awesome with everything and anything. My only complaint is that the color of the shoes is very off. In the pic, it looks like a bright sea green and silvery-white, but when I got them, they were a very dull looking green and white. They looked much better in the pic and not so much in person.

Cute AND comfy! Super cute shoe. Found these while randomly shopping around one day. The store didn’t have it in my size, so I’m thinking "Zappos!!" and yup, they had my size. The mint green ones are super fresh, it’s the perfect walking around the city shoe. An added bonus is that it looks very cute and girly too. Even my bf got a pair in another color. Fits true to size.

Walk around the city in style and comfort! I got these shoes in mist green; color looks great, super cute. Makes your feet look feminine. Very comfy and light, great for walking around the city. Size fit perfectly.

Very stylish. I use them for cross training work out at a gym. Perfect for stair master/elliptical / walking on treadmill. Do not have enough support or cushion for running. They are roomy enough for inserts. Don't buy if you have a narrow foot. I am a solid B width and they are perfect with athletic socks with a little room to spare.

This sneaker looks great and is pretty comfortable. It's very lightweight so its better worn in warmer temperatures.

Great shoes if you can suffer through breaking them in... I've had these shoes for about a month, and have walked through three airports and three major US cities in them in the process. Once you've gotten through all the bruising and chafing that comes with that process, they are great. The backs are particularly uncomfortable at first because they viciously rub the Achilles tendon. All's well now that they're loosening up and the bruises have faded. It's a great looking shoe and I've gotten tons of compliments.

Pretty good - This is a pretty good shoe, though definitely not a Minnesota winter shoe. Not as comfortable as my other Asics Tigers (Mexico 66) but still light and easy and pretty comfy. They look cool (like most Asics) but always a little different from the picture (I got the navy and berry colored ones). Good overall but not a must have.

Cute- These are really cute- I have the dark blue and pink ones and I love the colors. They are maybe a tad narrow, but do not run small. I would recommend ordering your regular size despite that 1 or 2 of the reviews I read said they ran a little small. They don’t have a ton of cushioning, but overall are still pretty comfy and definitely fun to wear.

Awesome shoes, great price! - I spent a week agonizing over which shoes to choose from the great selection at Zappos! I chose these and they came today. They are so cute and look exactly like the picture, and are very comfortable. I would reccommend these to anyone who is pretty much an average, b-width shoe size. Order up if you wear thick socks or whatever! The arch support is pretty feeble, though. I wear inserts with mine.

I was a bit concerned about purchasing a shoe online without the ability to try it on first, but this shoe fit just as I had hoped and was comfortable, too. One major complaint: THIS SHOE IS LISTED UNDER VEGETARIAN--IT IS NOT. Perhaps someone isn't aware of quite what that means, but a vegetarian shoe should not have anything that comes from an animal on it--no leather, no suede. This shoe has suede on the heel and toe. I am pretty disappointed--someone else could get a lot more angry than me. Please adjust your "vegetarian/vegan" shoe selection. Oh, and shipping was extremely fast--I ordered on Friday night and got them first thing Monday morning--just in time for my vacation!

Hot Shoe - These shoes are hot to look at, I got them in navy and dark pink. They do run a bit small and you have to get used to a high back that could dig a bit into easy to blister areas. Also I hear they are extremely susceptible to wetness in the rain, but so is every other non-leather shoe. Great over all.

I wanted to love these so much, but the back rose up too high on my heel and drove me nuts within minutes. I'm usually a 6.5 wide and the 7 was fine, although they are more narrow than expected. They were light and comfy - wish they were my new walking shoe! :(

These are not true orange. They are neon tangerine. The picture does not accurately represent that.

Not for narrow feet - I have narrow to medium size feet depending on the shoe. These are really nice but the back irritated the back of my ankle. I had around the corner and by the time I was back home (10 mins) I was in a lot of pain and the area stayed tender for days.

Suffering for Fashion. These shoes are cute and are making me feel like spring is just around the corner because of the awesome pastel color. However, they totally hurt my heels up near the back of the shoe. They're not too tight, but maybe too high? I've been wearing them non-stop to try to break them in but so far no dice. Also they are not the most padded shoe for walking long distances, forget running in them. They're comfy, just a little on the hard side for someone used to cushy sneakers. I'm pushing through the pain in hopes that the heel pain goes away or gets better. They're too cute not to wear.

These shoes, like all Asics, are wonderfully stylish. They are so comfortable and last a long time. I have five pairs of Asics - two of them are three years old and still look great even though I live in NYC! The shoes tend to run a bit wide and are fairly roomy, so if you have a narrower foot with less of an arch, I'd say go a full size smaller. They are still totally worth it!
