First time buying a retro Asics. This is pretty comfy. I don't need to use my orthotics in these, the arch is high enough. It's very lightweight.

As always... great service getting these! I love these shoes. I bought these and wore them for a week and immediately ordered another pair. Really good support for such a lightweight shoe!

These sneakers are so cute! The orange ones are very orange, so if that's not what you're looking for, you've been forewarned. In general, they are very stylish retro-esque sneakers, good for casual activity. I ordered my true size, a 9.5, and probably could've gone with a 9, but the 9.5s aren't so big that I'll send them back.

These are comfortable, and snug. I love their look. I marked true to size but I felt these were true to size but a tiny bit snug. So if you are typically a 7 but 7 fits you snugly, maybe order a 7½.

Love these shoes! The first time I wore them it was for 16 hours and my feet felt great. If you happen to be a USC fan, the shoes come with red laces as well and make great game day shoes!

I could not love these shoes more. I have six pair. Roomy in the toe box and the 81's come up higher in the heel, which I like - more so than the Tigers with the tab in the back. And of course the colors are great. They also come with alternate shoelaces if you are extra-cool.

So retro-cute and comfy! The sole, especially the heel, is soft and cushiony, and there is nice arch support. I'm a runner, and although I wouldn't take a run in these, they are wonderful for lots of walking. I also own the Mexico 66 version of Tigers, and the Ultimate 81s have more cushion, support, and toe room. They also run true to size, unlike the 66 which run long. The hot pink is a bit on the coral side, which is nice.

I love these shoes. I have them in 3 different colors and I wear them everywhere. It's great for people with narrow feet.

I have had these for 3 months now and I am not completely pleased. The rubber on the front has started to peel away and they have kinda of lost their shape. I'm going back to Nike after these.

These shoes are amazing! I am a swim coach and wear these on deck. They match school colors, look awesome, and the mesh fabric dries quickly. Very comfortable when standing for long periods of time. Thank you Zappos!

I absolutely love these. Not only do they look vintage and amazing, but they feel great, too. I have weird ankles that lead to knee issues, and it's hard for me to find shoes that support my feet well. These have fantastic arch support, and I don't have the knee pain I typically have with other brands. I highly recommend!

This running shoe is amazing for all the walking I do, up and down hills. Even without socks, the fit is very comfortable! Also, I only needed about two days to break in the shoes!

Really cute, casual shoe. Minimal arch support. The side striping is black but with turquoise stitching, so looks like a very dark navy rather than black when you wear with jeans. Looks good with a variety of tops.

Onitsuka Tigers are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, especially on the toe area. But I find I need more support, so I put an insole in them and they are perfect.

I bought these almost a year ago and wore them almost every day. I walk about 2 - 5 miles a day and these shoes are so comfortable. After all this time they're just starting to show enough wear to be ready for replacement (a few stitches coming apart). I'm replacing them with a new pair of Tigers! They kept their color and held up very well.

I love these shoes. This is my fourth pair. They're pretty comfortable - say, more comfy and cushiony than Keds or Vans, but not as cushy or as much arch support as with real running/workout shoes. They breathe a lot because of the mesh on top which is great in summer, but it's a disadvantage in winter so they're not so great for the coldest days.

I love these shoes. I had originally bought a previous pair of Onitsuka Tigers a year or two ago. I lovingly called those shoes my "rainbow sneaks" because they were bright yellow, orange, and green. I wore them to work, as I'm a cashier, and I stand all day. They're super comfortable and I always get compliments on them (even from the old ladies). I decided I needed a pair of Onitsukas that had more muted colors so I got the white/black/green kind. I love them so much that I'm almost tempted to buy another pair.

I got this shoe in the grey/white with orange laces. I love them! They are super cute. They were a little stiff when I first got them, but I feel that they were broken in after a few wears. I generally wear a size 6.5 and usually a 7 in running and other athletic shoes, but I had to get a size 6 in this shoe. These are fairly flat shoes. I wear them for crossfit workouts.

I absolutely love these sneakers. The teal is so bright and spring like and I was glad to see that it comes with matching teal laces.

This will be my fourth pair! Asics Onitsuka Tiger shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! The only decision you will need to make is what color to go with! They fit great, are true to size, so you will not be dissapointed.
