Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger California 78™

They look pretty cool, great with shorts. If you are looking for the most comfortable shoe in the world, these probably aren’t it. They don’t offer much support, but you will get a lot of compliments.

Great comfortable shoes in a vibrant blue. Had these fit properly. I would be wearing them everywhere, but I accidently threw away my packaging. My fault. These feel more narrow than all my other Asics of the same size. It would also have been nice to have a set of the blue laces to match the shoe color instead of only white. Another wonderful shoe by Asics.

I had to return these shoes because they felt much bigger than any other Tigers I have bought. All of my other Tigers were size 10 and fit fine. A size 10 in this model left about an inch of extra toe room.

Asics Onitsuka Tiger California 78 looked great, but felt VERY uncomfortable. Too narrow, hurts the feet. I'm a man, age 30-ish, been wearing New Balance 570s for the past year, perfect fit. This turned out to be a hard, but very brilliant learning experience -- how to buy shoes online... it CAN be done, even if your first few pairs don't fit right -- Zappo's can help! The Zappo's Support geniuses helped me out SO MUCH. Zappo's has been great throughout my phone calls and shoe finding process. They made me trust online shoe retail, when I could not see the light, by their incredible customer-focused approach to business. Thank You Zappo's!

Bought these in the synthetic vegan upper and was disappointed. Compared to my Ultimate 81s, they feel very cheap -- not just because of the nylon material, but because the insole is flimsy and has no arch support. The stitching on the outside of the foot where the toecap meets the stripe rubs my foot into a blistered state every time I wear them unless I use a prophelactic Band-Aid. And, yes, if you go for the vegan uppers, your feet will be hot. Insanely hot. Soaking in a non-breathable cup of sweat hot. It's pretty gross. Stick to a different style in this brand!

These aren't the same as the 2010 model. Although the fit is mostly the same, the finished detail is lacking. When I opened the box, I thought they were fakes, or a cheap imitation. The 2010 model has the bear logo on the heel and imprinted in the base - the logos are noticeably absent on the 2011 version and the overall quality of the materials and assembly doesn't compare to my much loved - and almost worn-out - 2010 c78s.

These are great shoes, incredibly light and comfortable. The only thing you cannot tell is that the inner black is somewhat shiny material. Also, the back has some rubber-like material on the top which is not harsh at all, but tends to pull your sock down (not a deal breaker, just slightly bothersome).

Great color and design, but the fit of the shoe took some getting used to. The sole is very comfortable, but the shoe felt a little tight, possibly a bit too narrow (size 11 shoe).

Super comfortable, lightweight and very stylish. Highly recommended.

Nothing runs like a Tiger - My favorite shoe company - Onitsuka Tiger! Light, strong, nimble, and they look great! My favorite shoe vendor - Zappos!

If you have wide feet, these probably won't be a good choice, as they are a bit narrow. Otherwise, true to size and good quality.

Overall nice stylish shoe - These are a good pair of shoes. They are bleach white so they are harder than most shoes to match to an outfit, but when they do match they are very stylish. Don’t expect very much stability upon landing from a high hop off the ground, though. Good buy.

Great shoes. Very comfortable, stylish and understated. Easy to match with everything.

Excellent shoe - comfortable, durable, versatile. And fortunately Zappos customer service couldn't have been better. Thanks for letting me send the shoes back and forth until I found the right fit! And for being so nice about it!

Awesome shoes. The fit perfectly, on the narrow side. Comfortable, not overly cushioned, but comfy all day long. Super stylish, yet low key.

Great shoe...very comfortable...really like the leather uppers for winter weather but would prefer just basic black without embellishment.

Excellent shoe! Very comfortable and true to size. I look forward to walking in these shoes. They're a pleasure to wear. I'll be a loyal Onitsuka buyer from now on!

Very comfortable! Nice grip on the bottom and flexible. Excellent shoe!

LOVE these! on the narrow side, which is perfect for my because I like a snug fit. True to size. Amazing customer service in general. I ordered a size too small and was able to easily ship them back. I was refunded within a week of Zappos receiving them.

Love these shoes! Perfect for wearing to my Missouri Tiger's games! Very comfortable for tailgating and lots of walking.

Ordered the wrong size and never had to exchange any items before so was a little skeptical on the whole process, but as soon as I clicked on exchange a new pair was on its way and return label ready to print. All in all the exchange was seamless and fast. Will definitely use Zappos again.

Since discovering that Onitsuka Tigers are still available, I've ordered; 2 pairs - Mexico 66 size 13 1 pair - Seranno size 13 1 pair - Corsair size 13. I usually wear a 12, sometimes a 13. All these shoes were too narrow in a 12.5, so I went to a 13 which just did not fit right; too long. For someone with a medium width foot, all these were much too narrow. Then I ordered Cal 78 in a 12...perfect! Much more comfortable than the other Tigers and the width is ample.

Shoes felt snug at first, but after few hours of breaking in it's become very comfortable. True to size, walks all day in them with out any pain (compare to my running shoes). Can't wait to see what color combination Onitsuka Tiger coming out next. Thank You Zappos for your amazing service.

I have this pair in mostly yellow with some black also...if I could, I would own every color ever made in this style. I get a ton of compliments on them!

I have several pairs of Tigers, and was excited about getting these to update my active/walking shoes. They are a good style, and comfortable overall, but the footbed was not ideal for my flat feet. There was a little too much arch and the my toes felt a little cramped. They might have been alright after broken in, but I will be looking elsewhere this time.
