Order a half size smaller. I wear about a 10.75, half way between a 10.5 and 11. An 11 fits in most shoes. I could have worn a 10 in these, but the width is that of a 10.5. So 10.5 it is and these shoes are great. I got them to wear casually, but I've actually been wearing them in the gym too. Thinking about getting a second pair so I can keep one pair nice and wear the other pair outside and in the gym.

I had been looking for a new pair of sneakers for awhile and boy am I glad I held out for these ones! They are super comfortable for long walks and also super cute! I love the splash of blue on the sole of the sneaker. This is my first pair of Tiger's but definitely not my last!

I tried this shoe as well as the fencing shoe and found this to be a better match. I felt the fit was spot on and it was like stepping into a cloud! This shoe has more cushion then the fencing shoe, so if that is a concern, you may want to considerate it. This is debatable the most comfortable sneaker I have ever owned. The moment these wear out, I will be buying more. Plus, they come in super fun colors!

I love the Onitsuka Tiger line, and the California 78's are very comfortable. I would recommend these over the Mexico 66 style, as that style doesn't have enough padding around the ankle. These are much better!

This is an awesome she. The style and comfort is spot on. You need to order your true size in these. They fit different than other Onitsuka styles.

Nice sneakers...nice support. It runs big...I went down a 1/2 size and that worked out well.

My daughter has narrow feet and needed indoor court shoes for fencing but couldn't fit the adult sizes. These shoes work great and provide enough stability while she is running on the mat floor.

I ordered a mens 7.5. I wear a women's 9.5. These were snug and slightly narrow but they stretched a bit and are now perfectly comfortable. I'd rather them be more snug than big. I ordered an 8 as well but it was a little big. Easy return. Fast shipping. I got my package in about three days which is fast for where I live.

Shoes are good. The size seems to run a little longer than others. May not be the best shoe for wide footers, but overall very pleased. Great grips on the bottom for bicycling.

Great shoe, comfortable, love colors, so I can say the green yellow combo is awesome. It fits right for me, and very light even though it doesn't look like it.

Surprisingly comfortable for a flat sole tennis shoes. Striking looks that gets better in person. I have been wearing them as casual summer shoes without socks without any problem so far. I would not recommend them for jogging/running.

I love these sneakers. They totally reminds me of the sneakers I wore as a kid in the late 1970's, which, I suspect, is why they are called the California 78 Vintage. I wear them in stylish New York City and get lots of compliments. They are extremely comfortable for walking the mean streets. I like that they have a relatively low-profile sole yet a high-profile soul.

The Onitsuka Tiger by Ascics is a remarkable shoe with exceptional comfort, feel,and style. I feel light on my feet whenever wearing these and even use them in indoor soccer. They are an all around shoe that can adapt to almost any situation.I highly recommend to anyone who likes a good fitting and comfortable lifestyle shoe.

Comfortable, good looking casual shoe suitable for walking. Felt wider than I'd have expected, but I have wide feet and the extra width suited me. Very satisfied.

Having been born and raised in California, these shoes brought back good memories the second I saw them. Had to have them. I have been wearing them now for over a month and love them.

Love these! They are great with jeans without looking sloppy. I bought the blue and love the color. Waiting for the other colors be available in my size. I was wary of buying since they are in men's sizes too, as I don't always have luck with that sort of thing. I am a 9 and bought the 7.5/9 and it fits perfectly.

I am surprised at how much I love these shoes! I am extremely picky about the comfort of shoes. Usually, if a shoe is cute, the comfort is sacrificed and vice versa. These have both style and comfort! I love the retro look of them and they remind me of my Jr. High days! ;) They are really comfy and I can wear them all day with no problems. They do run a little big - I am a true size 8 and I ordered both the 8 and 7 1/2. The 8s are too big and even the 7 1/2s are slightly on the big side. I could probably go down to a 7. They are also a tad on the narrow side, which my feet are so bonus for me! All in all, these are great shoes and I'm very pleased!

Great look and super comfortable. The 'black' is more of a charcoal grey and have a cool retro feel to it.

Love these so much! I struggled to find the perfect black "throwback" sneak and these definitely fit the bill. 24 hours after they arrived I literally "street-tested" them out in NYC for a long weekend. I didn't get any blisters and they went well with all my casual outfits. I do wish they had a bit more support, but the style factor makes up for it!

This is a retro shoe, just like the ones I had in the late 70's.
It is light and comfortable. It does not restrain the foot. This is not a big arch-support type shoe. More like a slipper you can run in.

Love this shoe and wear it every day. Just beware that the insole is not removable and both shoes developed holes in the fore foot after 6 months. Took insoles from another shoe, plopped them in, good to go.

Great shoe. I don't have high arches, so these fit me perfectly. The only complaint I have is that they aren't very breathable, so I wear them sparingly in the summer.

I bought these shoes because I loved the colors. They are very bright blue and red! I was pleasantly surprised to discover how comfortable they are. They have pretty good support, and could definitely be worn all day long. This was a great purchase!

My 13-year-old son bought these shoes to replace an old pair of Tigers he loves. Alas, his old model is no longer available so these were a second choice. But he still loves the style and the shoe overall. The sole of the shoe is just not what he was hoping for...more of a basketball bottom than what this shoe offers. This reminds me of an old adidas running shoe.
