Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Runspark™

Coo retro shoes! Really like these Tigers. Bought them for a bike trip because of their low profile. Have trained in them for race walking, but they’re not well suited to that so much. Great casual shoe. Have received numerous compliments on them.

Drummers perfect shoe - These are so thin and light, and they look great! Perfect "next to nothing" feel that drummers look for. You don't want to walk around the city all day in them because they are not that padded.

Good Shoes - I've had this style of shoe more than once. They look great and are comfortable for casual wear. Do not buy them if you plan to do a lot of walking, because the shoes have no arch support.

Steve McQueen Asics - I wanted a pair of Asics ever since I saw Steve McQueen wearing a pair in The Hunter (1980). I could not find a pair exactly like his, but these were the closest thing. I was so excited after ordering them and even more excited when they came a day earlier than expected. They look sweet with jeans and shorts. I haven't wanted to take them off. They are very comfortable and stylish. It is one of the best shoes I have had so far.

LOVE 'em! I am blessed with gigantic and extra wide feet. These are not only the most comfortable, but also the most downright adorable shoes I've had in a proper size since... well, since forever. I was squealing like a schoolgirl when I got them! SOOOO cute!

Great - The shoe arrived a day sooner than expected. It is really small and tight fitting (perhaps the size is large; if you are normally an 8, you should get 7.5 etc). Either way, the shoe fits my foot really well. It is very low beneath the ankles. It looks really good, too, but on close inspection, the "gluing" of the symbol and the sides looked "sloppy" (especially compared to previous Puma and Adidas shoes). It looks great with jeans and overall I am very satisfied.

Best shoe ever! These are the most comfortable shoes I own. They look great with jeans, capris, and shorts. They're so great that I bought my daughter a pair for her Alaskan honeymoon.

Great Looking, But No Arch Support. Other reviews of this shoe made it sound like it had more arch support than non-Runspark Tiger's, but I've been very disappointed in the support. However, I work in a place where I can stand on concrete floors for long periods, so this only aggravates that. Otherwise, when moving normally through the day, they're not so bad. They are indeed a half-size smaller than listed--I normally wear a 10.5, and ordered a 10 and they fit perfectly. However, because of this, when I tried to put arch supports in the shoe, they were far, far too small. I ordered the shoes around 2:30 on a Wednesday, and they were at my front door by 11:30 the next day, which was beyond impressive.

Cool looking and very comfortable. I bought this shoe for my husband who has a difficult time finding comfortable shoes. One of the reasons this shoe works so well for him is he really is a size 13 1/2. Most shoes come in 13 or 14. This shoe runs a little large so the 13 is great. The style of this shoe is classic and cool and does not make him look like "big foot." Great "knock around" shoe.

ve had my pair for a couple of weeks: they're awesome - Very lightweight shoe, yet still feels supportive (unlike similar Diesel brand shoes). I'm very happy with this shoe. Definitely a half size smaller than marked. This shoe does have some arch support. Zappos is probably the best online store I have ever experienced. They ship overnight at no charge. Their website has unbeatable selection, is amazingly easy to navigate through, returning shoes you don't like is easy and free, and they refund your money no questions asked. No wonder Zappos has so many loyal customers, including me. I ordered two other pairs of shoes before this one and returned them both. Zappos refunded my money, no questions asked. Always five stars for Zappos.

Onitsuka Tiger - It’s not my first time wearing this brand. I’m a fan of it and very pleased with the pair I bought through Zappos.com. It wouldn’t be my last time. All the best…

Runsparks rock - It’s like not wearing any shoes, not sure about durability yet but 5 stars for what can rate at this time.

Good Things Never Change - I wore Tigers in my days as a runner 30 years ago due to their comfort, support and look. Nice to see that the quality has not changed over time. Great shoes!

Great Shoe - This is a great shoe both from looks and action. Be sure to order it one size smaller then you think you need.

Amazing!!!! These shoes are amazing!!!! Enough said!!! They just felt a bit long, but that’s it!

Good overall - Like people have said before (the majority have, not all mind you), this shoe is very cool looking, very comfortable, but very large. I'd say at the minimum a half size too large, but then I like my shoes slightly larger, so when people say 1 size too large, it's a reasonable assessment. They are just right in terms of width, and the arch support is medium. One other problem I noticed is while the soles provide a lot of cushion for a low profile track inspired shoe; it is a bed of bacterial growth if you wear no socks. Additionally, the shoe is rather unbreathable considering it is mostly leather. Other than that if you pay heed to this, it's a worth while shoe with lots of color choices (I got the white and green model, wish I had that for track in high school).

Go down a half size from either an Addidas or Brooks - These Runsparks are supple, comfortable and fit a narrow foot well, but you should order a half size back. For example, I wear a size 12.5 in Brooks but the 12.5 Tiger was at least a half size too big. I'm typically a 12.5 Addidas so that if you own either Addidas or Brooks, order a half size smaller in the Tiger. I ordered this shoe for Pose running so I liked its minimalist qualities - no real arch support, etc. Feels like a slipper. This is the first time I ordered from Zappos and I have to say their service is incredible. I ordered these shoes in the evening and they came the following day! Excellent service.

Great looking shoes @ comfortable. The only thing I was not happy about is the SIZING it feels One size larger than marked. I am normally size 9.But I had to order size 8 to fit proper.

Different look than the photo - These shoes are great, but they have a metallic shine on the color part (orange in my case), and it didn't look that way on the photo at all.

Not what I'd hoped - I'm a big fan of the Onitsuka line of ASICS, but these shoes let me down. I've worn the Mexico 66 for years, but I've always worn out the sole quite quickly on those, so after seeing these in a store and noticing they had a harder rubber sole I decided to pick them up online. On top of the practical concern, I also liked the wrap around sole design. When I got them, they looked and felt great (although strangely wide across the ball of the foot for such a narrow shoe). The problem is that after about 1 week of regular wear in good weather, the sole was peeling away from the shoe in front, and the natural flex of walking was making that cool wrap around sole detach from the sides of the shoe. Also, the smooth expanse of leather over the toe stretched and made awkward looking "bubbles," but that wasn't nearly as much of an issue as the sole delaminating.

My favorite shoes - I wear these shoes almost everyday. They are lightweight, flexible, and the soles have good grip. They fit my narrow feet extremely well. I just bought a second pair to replace these when they wear out. I've liked other shoes before, but not enough to buy a second pair!

What one sees, is what one gets - Good fit, look cute, not much of a sole but great for a smaller, stylish tennis shoe for running around in.

Good shoe. The shoe feels true to size or even a bit smaller. It is a narrow shoe with a thin sole but quite comfortable. I ordered one that was too big but Zappos was very helpful in promptly exchanging it for a smaller size pair.

LOVE IT - These shoes are my new favorite pair. If I were 10 years old, I'd go to sleep wearing them. Love them.
