Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger California 78™

My new favorites. Lots of comments and compliments, goes with almost anything, comfortable.

Before buying I read a review of someone saying it felt like walking on clouds. No lie! But they remind me of a brand of flip flops from Corpus Cristi called Titties cause they are so soft and feel like you are walking on titties! I was looking for a good walking shoe that wouldn't hurt my feet and had no luck until I got these babies! They are super comfy and form to your feet. Best shoe I ever bought and super cool looking!

Excellent sneaker. I\'ve been a New Balance 574 man for a long time now. In the last couple of years I\'ve been dipping my toes in to the water outside of NB. It was scary to say the least, but it\'s shoes like these that make it easy. They\'re good looking, fit well and are comfortable. And the red looks really nice. \r\nIf you like a good old school sneaker, these are a good choice.

I love this shoe! I am an avid Asics shoe purchaser, and I own a pair of Gel-Kayano's for my long distance running. Well as soon as I purchase this shoe, I tested it for long distance running. Because I run on my toes, I use mainly my calf muscle during my run, I noticed a big difference in this shoe. It was like running with pillows on my feet! Not to mention the red color almost cause three car accidents! Oh and I have a wide foot, still comfortable! Enjoy!

These cute little sneakers are super comfortable. I wear them for a performance dance troupe when we have outdoor shows. They are light weight but still give great support. I've recommend them to the whole group.

I was very impressed with these shoes, they are exactly how they look and I love the nylon. They are very comfortable and true to size. I also like the old school vintage look. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone who is even considering them.

These sneakers fit me exactly (6 1/2). My feet are fairly wide, and I was concerned these could be too narrow, but they turned out not to be. I've received compliments on them and they are really cute for summer. They probably wouldn't bare up to any rough terrain or long hikes as they are very lightly constructed.

I bought these shoes for cycling around town. They are slim enough to easily slide in and out of cages. Also, the sole is sturdy which is another plus for cycling. A+. I love them so far!

Classic! All you would expect from Onitsuka Tiger, a great brand with fantastic footwear. Why else would Kid from Kill Bill wear a pear of Mexico 66's? These are more running based shoes, which were introduced later in 78, hence the name Cali '78. They have good arch support, unlike the 66's and are better for running and sports. Don't get me wrong, I love the 66's also, I own 3 pairs, but I picked up a pair of these when I realized they weren't giving me enough support on my jogs. Great shoe, great look and a must-have.

These are my new favorite sneakers. I wore them right out of the box to an event - with walking all day. They look sleek and modern yet have a cool retro feel at the same time. I have the blue color. The color looks good with all my jeans and yoga pants. They are also really light weight.

I love these shoes so much I bought them in both colors! I had been looking a long time for a replacement to my favorite pair of Limber Up Moscows, and here they are. They are great looking, lightweight shoes, with pretty good arch support. They look great with jeans, shorts, or khakis. The material of the blue pair is a bit more breathable and comfortable. They are perfect for warm climates like South Florida.

Fabulous shoes!!!!!! Fit exactly to size; look adorable yet trendy (t-strap is very stylish!) So functional!!!! Feels exactly like my sneakers, but looks like a really cute shoe. Sizing and width is 100%! Go out and buy 2 or 3 pair (I probably will!)- And the best part- it was delivered the very next day after ordering! Wow- Zappos!

Love these shoes! These are pretty much the cutest sneakers I've ever owned! I got about five compliments on them the first evening I wore them. I wait tables and by the end of the night my feet started to ache a bit, but they'd be perfect for bumming around. The Zappos customer service is fantastic; I called to ask some questions and they were very helpful and friendly. And of course the shipping is the fastest thing I've seen. I ordered them in the evening and received them the next afternoon.

California 78 - These shoes felt perfect right out of the box. They have a great classic look and are very light which should make them ideal for summer wear. They also seem to be very well made. If you’re looking to separate yourself from everyone else these shoes in yellow and blue will do the trick.

Multiple uses shoes - Nice looking shoes. Can take them to a club or use it for jogging. They felt true to size and width. Can be worn all day long without any problem.

Comfy - Bought the yellow/blue and the colors are great. Ultra-comfy shoes, may affect durability in the long run but I've only had them a few weeks.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoes! These are the coolest pair of gym shoes I think I've ever owned! Love the look with jeans, sweats, etc. Everyone loves these. Because they're a bit flat they're not as comfy as some more cushiony gym shoes but these are great unless I'm doing an intense cardio workout. Oh, and Zappos rocks! I tell people to shop here all the time!

Great sneaker - My daughter loves all the colors and it fits perfectly, but the most important thing for her is that it is all man-made.

Cool kicks! Love these shoes, I have pretty wide feet & though these appear to be a narrow shoe, the mesh construction stretches with my feet. Not really what I would recommend for extremely long wear, but quite comfortable for bumming around town. I wish there were more colors to choose from, I'd buy 'em all. Overall, a great everyday shoe with awesome retro style & and always, shipping so fast your head will spin.

Awesome - Very lightweight and soft on the feet. This style is very similar to the limber up Moscow style that was made a while back. Overall great look and feel. And of course ridiculously fast shipping from Zappos.

I ordered these in 10.5 but when I got them they felt larger, but no worries because Zappos always delivers when it comes to customer service! I sent them back the shoes and with the refund got a size 10. They shipped it with 2 day service and I got them and these fit perfectly. The shoes are really comfortable. Zappos is the best -- hands down.

Unfortunately Zappos does not carry any shoes in the Onitsuka Tiger or Converse Chuck Taylor in any width but Medium. None of their shoes come in a "wide". The shoe I ordered, Onitsuka Tiger California 78, was too tight.

I was looking for a running shoe with decent arch support that didn't have the sci-fi nightmare styling that most contemporary running shoes seem to have (at least in the US anyway). This is that shoe. Clean lines, classic styling, and decent (but definitely not cutting edge) foot support. I'm still breaking them in but so far they've felt fine during my long runs. If you're a little more concerned about total comfort, you might instead consider a pair by Saucony, which have a slightly plusher feel but still have the same kind of classic-cool retro look. Either way, great shoe.

Sneaker arrived one inch too long, perfect width! I am a man, and in June 2010 I ordered men's 9.5, D or normal width. I have always worn this size for the past 10 years, and when I order New Balance sneakers, this is the perfect fit for me. These Tiger 78's are great looking and comfortable, except since the length of the shoe in my "usual size" is one inch too long compared to other brands I have had -- this shoe is a little too long for me to walk normal. Although I have only had them for one day, I love my Onitsuka Tigers 78 model. It is a very light shoe.

These shoes are very stylish and light. They fit very small though, as well as narrow. I have narrow feet, but these are narrow even for me. Fast shipping as usual from Zappos.
