Awesome looking shoe and very comfortable. I normally where a women's 10, men's 8.5 and have bought many unisex shoes in the past but this one seemed to run just a bit large. I kept the 10 because I don't think I could have gone down a full half size though.

My shoes are wonderfully comfortable and I wear them with bare feet. Anything from Zappos is great and so is their way of dealing with their customers. I miss the characteristics of the sales people.

Nice and comfy shoes. Should have bought it black Friday so it will be cheaper.

These are great looking kicks! The Tigers are an ideal casual shoe to wear with jeans or shorts. The shoes were a little stiff initially, but they are breaking in nicely after a few wearings. While the retro look is stylish, I would classify the Tiger strictly as a casual shoe. There are far better choices available today for even occasional running. I purchased the white on white version, and potential buyers might want to know that some of the white leather is glossy, which doesn't show well in the online photos. I did have to exchange the first pair for a half size smaller. Thank you Zappos for your generous return policy!

Stylish and comfortable! These aren't made for running, but they're great for casual walking around town.

I'm all about these shoes! They're stylish and comfy and easy to clean because the materials wipe down easily. Great all around pair of kicks!

I read other reviews that recommended ordering a 1/2 size down from my normal shoe size and they fit perfectly!

Excellent fit and comfort. I needed some light-weight shoes for the summer, and these are perfect for my job. I wear them every day. Even got several "I like your shoes."

After reading the other reviews, I'm glad I got a half size smaller than my usual size. They fit great. I can't wait for the weekend to wear them.

Started a new workout class and needed better shoes because I started having shin splints. these shoes look awesome but aren't for workout they have major arch support witch is great for me but just not so great for working out. I enjoy them.

The insole in the left shoe started separating after about ten or fifteen minutes of wearing, causing a pretty annoying popping noise every time I took a step. Ultimately had to return the shoes. Otherwise, they were mostly comfortable, although a little less breathable than I honestly would've liked.

Love these shoes. Have worn them every day since I bought them. Other reviews are correct in saying they tend to run half a size big. I would normally buy 11.5 and got 11 and they fit fine.

Wow, these things look even better than they do in the picture. The blue is a bit stronger than the picture suggests, which actually works even better. The shoe stretches nicely too, giving slipper-like feel. So glad I got myself a pair.

I wore a previous pair of these for 2 years before they fell apart, then bought another pair, so clearly I love them. They feel a bit big the first two weeks I had them, but now they've worn in and feel more snug. I keep the laces tied and slip them on and off.

Best looking shoes I've had in a long time, and I really like the leather of this white color scheme - more durable than the material of the other colors.

These are my 4th Onitsuka Tiger shoes. Since I discovered them, I don't buy any other sneakers. Yes, they are that good! Comfortable and good-looking. What else do you need? I got these in smaller size than normal Ultimate 81.

Alright, so I pretty much got these shoes just for the purpose of parkour, but these shoes are awesome. They are extremely comfortable, love to wear them, and they provide excellent support. If you ever want running shoes, these are very comforting.

They weren't lying when they said they run a 1/2 size bigger. Felt like the 3 little pigs - 13 was too small, 14 was too big, man I wish they had a 13.5.

Love these kicks; they're really cute on. Did have to order half a size down. They're very comfortable, though, and take no breaking in.

Typically this model fits a bit snug in the width but because of the leather they are way more comfortable than the average Ultimate 81.

Great sneaker, fit, and very comfortable. As a previous reviewer noted, love the color scheme. 5's all around for sure.
On an unrelated note, I purchased a pair of Tigers that were one size too small and sent them in for return. A couple days later I called in to customer service to check on the status and they credited me as I was on the phone since they had received the product.
Before I was off the phone with the rep, who was extremely pleasant, I had already received the credit confirmation email.
Moral of the story -- Zappos customer service Rocks!!!

Shoes look great, they were pretty comfortable but a bit big, a half size down was to small so I decided to purchase some inserts and now they feel great. The shoes are durable and look absolutely awesome in person. The Zappos color scheme is really cool.
