Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Gantrai™

I like 'em - I’ve had them for over a year and wear them practically daily and they are still in great condition! I’m looking at buying another pair. I wish they had more cushion or arch support, but that's how you get that sleek look instead.

An awesome shoe - I intended to wear these shoes primarily for their sporty looks and was hoping they would be more comfortable than my Pumas. They surprised me in being the most comfortable sport shoes I own. Maybe it's just my foot, but they fit me perfectly. They have also held up very well. I don't wear them hard, but I have gotten them dirty a few times and they cleaned easily. I don't own a huge selection of shoes, but I have Nikes, Pumas, Converse, and Vans and am most satisfied with these.

I am in love with these shoes and have gotten so many compliments on them! I found them to be true to size all around and they are very comfortable.

Best casual shoes! I have been wearing these shoes for more than a year. I like it! I even want to get another pair after this pair has worn out. It’s very comfortable even when you wear it all day long. It has good support and cushioning. It's very trendy. Goes well with khaki or jeans. This will be one of my favorites. I bought a dark brown color theme but I believe it’s discontinued.

I'm Pleased with my Zappos Order! I only wear vegetarian shoes, but sometimes it seems I have to sacrifice fashion (unfortunately). These Tiger sneakers are hip, versatile, so comfortable, and best of all, I saved a couple of bucks by purchasing through Zappos. My only suggestion to Zappos is that including measurements with the shoe description would help customers figure out what size to get since we are not trying on the shoe before purchasing and shoe size varies with style.. Also, please carry more vegetarian shoes!! Not enough dressy or casual models (only a lot of selection with sneaker section).

Gift - These shoes were a gift for my boyfriend. He really likes them. Says they're extremely comfy. I had a pair of Asics a long time ago and they're historically good shoes. They look sharp too; I like the color combination in these.

Great looking, and light - I'm really pleased with these sneakers. I bought the red and grey ones, and they really stand out. Good fit.

Very comfortable and stylish! I've been looking forever for a stylish leather-free sneaker that I can wear with jeans. I wear a women's size 12 shoe, and my foot is narrow, but these shoes fit me well in a men's 10.5.

Tiger - Although I received a second choice of color, the shoes are excellent and very comfortable.

Fantastic, slick shoe. Want a pair in every color! Bought this shoe in red and khaki. Great look, very comfortable and durable. Love the aggressive tread on the sole and toe of the shoe. Very classic in style and durable in construction. Gave it four stars for comfort instead of five simply because a modern sneaker is going to have more cushion and because if you buy the ones with the faux suede uppers like I did, your feet can get toasty on a hot day. All in all, love the shoes. Would buy them again in a heartbeat.

Great looking shoe - Slightly larger and narrower than I expected. I usually wear a 9 or 8 1/2 and I bought an 8 1/2 after reading reviews and they are still lightly large. I bought the white/grey and they really look nice. It's hard to fine nice looking leather free shoes. Highly recommend this shoe.

LOVE the kicks!! These shoes are terrific!! They are incredibly comfortable... so cute... and VEGAN!! Such a great price too!!!! I've tried all kinds of running shoes, and Asics are by far the most comfortable. Haven't been let down yet!

Cute & Stylish Sneakers! I do a lot of walking, and wanted something other than the usual gym-looking athletic shoes to walk around in, without sacrificing style. These were just too cute to pass up. I have the navy, grey and white ones with red trim. They aren't as cushiony as I'd hoped, but they are still comfortable enough to walk several blocks in without any pain, so I wouldn't say they aren't comfortable. The only problem I had was that I am usually a size 9 and when I got them, they were too big, as they run long. But Zappos was so great at doing an exchange for me in a half size smaller, and they had the new pair to me super quick. (The customer service was GREAT!!!) and the new pair, women's 8.5, fits just like the 9 should, so I would say they run a half size big. Also, not for someone with wide feet, as they seem to run narrow. Overall, though, I'm happy with the 2nd pair I received, and they match everything. I may even order another pair in a different color down the road.

Great but not the Ultimate - After being thrilled by the Ultimate 81s I bought I wanted to try the Gantrai. They came today and look fab. The stiffness that a few have mentioned is only relative--relative to the Ultimate 81a that are silky smooth. I think they initially feel that way because they have a more serious and knobbier sole that wraps around the toe area more. And they feel a tad narrower. I got the gunmetal/birch which are sharp looking (daughter likes them better than the moss/brown Ultimate 81s, which I prefer). Because of the more flexible sole on the Ultimate 81s, I think they are a better walking shoe than the Gantrai, but the Gantrai are a little tougher, more "athletic"--they would make a good cycling shoe. I'm thinking about using them for racquetball because of their light weight and good grip (okay, good looks too)

Onitsuka Tigers - Always a favorite sneaker of mine. This particular version is made using no animal products, which is a huge plus for me. They’re comfortable and they look pretty cool, too. These also fit me perfectly.

Great and fast - Thanks Zappos. You're great and fast.

Gray - I really enjoy the fabric these shoes are made from, I feel more flexible as to what I can do when I walk, and comfortable at the same time. With that in mind they probably don't have the best support, but my gray pair sure does look nice.

Perfect shoe for anyone! This shoe is even more stylish when you see them on! The Gantrai also shows that you can make a great looking shoe without the unnecessary slaughtering of animals. I bought the gunmetal grey and it looks great with every outfit, casual or sporty. I know that it was originally made to be a rock climbing shoe, but so far I have only used it for an everyday shoe. I will put it to the test soon when I travel to Scotland though. It is not the most comfortable shoe, however, so you should get some insoles for them. They seemed a little long, so you also might want to look for a half size smaller. Overall, this shoe is perfect and everything I thought it would be-once my size comes in for the light khaki, I will order them to. Great service and an affordable price.

Adorable and comfortable - This is my 2nd pair of Tigers, and somehow they're better than the first. My only complaint is that the sole isn't terribly cushiony for an "athletic" shoe, but honestly these are more about form than function. Otherwise, they're perfect - my size 7.5 felt like a 7.5, they're comfortable and cute.

Happy Customer - Got the shoes planning to return them, put them on and decided I loved them. I'm still waiting for the grey color to get dirty but so far it is holding up. Mesh part looks purple in certain lights. I have gotten numerous compliments on them though. Not always the best for lots of walking or long periods of standing.

Smart - Smart looking style. Cool colors. Fits well. Very satisfied.

Perfect Sneakers! These sneakers are the best... very comfy and super cute! If you have moderate pronation, like me, try arch inserts and go up a half size. At last, fashionable shoes can be comfortable, too. Thank you, Zappos!

Grrr....eat! Shoes worked out great, I actually expected to return them because they looked kind of dull but they're so comfortable and stylish.

Onitsuka Tiger by Asics - I bought the grey ones. They fit perfectly and they are very comfortable. No stores that I know of in my area carry this particular model of Asics Tiger. I like the sole of these shoes, my only complaint is a minor one and that is that when looking down on the shoes from above the toes appear to be a pit pointy. The more I wear them though the more the toes are rounded out. They came with 2 pair of laces, one with a stripe in the middle and one without. As usual with Zappos I got them only a couple of days after ordering.

Fabulous!! I love the shoe they are great sylish, comfortable, affordable and best of all the color I have looking for.
