Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Runspark™

Stylish lightweight shoe - I know this shoe's purpose is for track meets but I like it for the look. It is very lightweight.

Great look and great comfort!

Style and Comfort - Style is the best feature of the Tiger Runspark. Cut low, sleek, and sporty, the shoe is a trend setter. It's good to see the Asics brand coming back. Not only is it stylish, but it is also very comfortable to wear. The only problem I have had is that I could have ordered a half size smaller.

New shoes - I found this shoe to be a very satisfactory buy, it is nice looking and comfortable, the only thing I didn’t like about it was that the toe is a bit too pointed.

A little bulky... These shoes looked so cute on the website, so I decided to give them a try. I have another pair of Tiger's and love them. These shoes, however, feel really bulky in the toe section (and they haven't even been worn in yet!). I had to buy insoles to make it a bit more comfortable. Overall, though, a cute, fun shoe and pretty comfortable despite the bulkiness in the toe.

It's nice to wear a shoe that no one else has! They run a bit large - I guess since they are a unisex style.

Basically Sweet - I ordered a size 10. My normal shoe size, thinking if anything I'd need a 10.5. But theses shoes actually seem a full size bigger. They are snug on the sides so I ordered a 9.5 and they fit fine just a little room at the toes. Sweet shoes but traction in the rain is suspect.

Cool shoes, nice and sleek. Like the molding it does to your feet afterward. Cool!

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.

Maybe it's just because I have narrow feet, but the top of the toe box creased and dug into my toes. Also, the rubber tread on each side of the toe box made my feet look too wide compared to the heel. I returned them.

Disappointing - I've owned a couple other styles of Tigers that were great, but these were trouble right from the start. I got my usual size, but there was at least an extra inch of space in the toe, and the soles started peeling off pretty much as soon as I began wearing them. Boo.

Good looking if you don't have to walk in them - Apparently we have come to a point where fashion has over taken function. Although these shoes look great they provide no support or cushioning. Every pebble and crack in the floor is noticeable to the bottom of your feet. The front of the shoe is also very narrow. I have custom made insoles and the curvature of the shoe makes it unusable with the insoles. So unless you have very thin feet with large calluses, I wouldn't suggest buying these shoes.
