Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Machu Racer™

First time I've had an Asics Tiger not fit true to size.

From the minute I put these on the fit/feel was awesome.I have bunions but these felt almost like wearing my slippers. A plus, with my size of feet, these actually make my feet look smaller;-). They don’t have much of a cushioned sole, but I always have my Brooks for when I do a lot of walking. Will be a fun runaround shoe though and cute to boot!

Love these! Fun color, good fit, and easy to wear, no break in period.

Perfect ?

Went up 1/2 size

Great light weight racer. and good casual shoe, not really for walking/sports. Great for driving!

These are great shoes. They are comfortable, light and the grip on them is great. I use them for martial arts, parkour and most everything else and they hold up nicely.

Comfy, lightweight, stylish, and functional (great for leg day at the gym) with or w/out socks! What more could you want?!?! I did add a pair of inserts to add a bit more cush...they definitely run small, order up at least 1/2 size.

My favorite sneaker at the moment -- so comfortable it feels like a slipper more than a shoe. Lightweight, flexible, soft. Hopefully they bring back the red color! Keep in mind the sizing is off, you'll want to order 1/2-1 size greater than normal (I usually wear an 11.5 or 12, in these I am a 12.5).

I was looking for a very light running shoe to wear. I have very narrow feet and wear a dress/slip on shoe size of 6.5 and generally wear a 7 in all other shoes. I went ahead and ordered a size 7. They felt great sitting down, and when I wore them to class the next morning I got pretty worried. I had remembered a lot of reviews said the sizing was off and to order a size up. My toe was more touching the top of the shoe than the end of it but not while sitting down. By the end of the day, my foot had already 'broke in' the shoe pretty well. They are really comfortable! If you have a wide foot or wear pretty thick socks for running, I would suggest the size up. But if you have a narrow foot like mine that tends to slip out the back of a shoe, definitely go with your normal sizing on this. I'm fairly certain if I went with the half size up, I might have trouble keeping them from rubbing on the back of my heel. They don't have a lot of support-which I expected. So if you have big arches and need a lot of support, I would not suggest this shoe. However, they are very comfortable inside and they are perfect for me.

Love these shoes! The look great, feel great, and are extremely lightweight and breathe well. Modest support so for some they might lack enough support. Love them, will definitely be buying additional colors.

Great shoes but the fit was very small. I had to exchange them for a half-size larger. I have owned many pairs of Asics and the sizing is not correct on this shoe.

Wore size M12 Mexico 66's for years, switched to these when they discontinued my preferred colors. Definitely recommend at least a half size up, and still slightly snug but very flexible toe box so acceptable.

These shoes were comfortable from the moment I put them on. Usually I have to wear a pair of shoes for several hours at home before they are comfortable. I like to wear them with a black T and black slacks so they really stand out. People invariably admire them.

Onitsuka Tigers are true to size but these visually look and feel slightly smaller. You might want to consider half sizing up or it may be totally fine to stick with your true to size, it gives a somewhat tight & snug fit because it's a slim shoe. They are pretty comfortable but it doesn't seem to give as great of an arch support compared to other tigers unless maybe you half a size up. Overall the style is slick & great, you will get complimented.

I've been waiting for an all red Tiger since the Ultimate 81's came out in 2009. That pair wore out. These are slightly different, but I am really liking the fit. I wear a 9 in most Nike Free's, but an 8.5 in most other shoes, and the 8.5 fits perfectly. It has the low profile of the Mexico 66 without that annoying flap on the back. I love them. Not much support, but that's to be expected. Also accommodating to bunions!

I’ve owned 7 pairs of Onitsuka Tiger shoes ranging from Mexico 66 and Ultimate 81, to my favorites, Serranos. They’ve all been a women’s size 7.5, so I didn’t read reviews on this shoe until after they were delivered. Too small! Order at least a half size up like other reviewers have stated. The tongue is much thinner than Serranos. They feel more minimal overall, and I like how lightweight they are, but they’re not comfortable like Serranos. Zero arch support. First pair of OT’s that I haven’t loved. The mistletoe color is swell though.

I usually wear a 12 in onitsuka tigers (various models), I took everyone's advice on this show and ordered a half size up. Wish I would've ordered a full size larger, they definitely run small by are a cool show if you get the fit right.

After owning a female pair for myself (mine were black with hot pink and black stripes), I purchased a pair for my husband in the black with red and blue stripes. We both like the style; however, we agree that the shoe is very thin, narrow, doesn't offer too much support and it also ran a half size small. It's a nice shoe for a casual look.

These shoes are very narrow... narrow to the point of uncomfortable. I'm hoping they'll stretch out so I can wear them without sore feet because they are cool as all Hell and super light. I would suggest going one size up to accommodate for the narrowness.

I wanted a retro pair of sneakers that looked good with jeans and shorts. These are those sneakers. I'm very happy with their looks. The size is as others advised a bit (1/2 size) small. I wouldn't choose these to hike all over a city or actually run in them. I would choose these for an evening out or other situations where you'd want a fashionable sneaker.

First time buying this brand, I like the style and color but not as comfortable as my Sketcher though.

I love Onitsuka Tigers and basically just keep re-buying them in a new color scheme every time I wear them out. I always get the same size (men's 10) but this time they were significantly smaller feeling than last. I held them up sole-to-sole with my previous pair and they look the same length, I just think the toe is significantly more pinched on this one so my feet feel very cramped. I'm hoping my feet will just stretch them. It seems like it's slowly working.

These shoes are very stylish, IMO, but they should not be considered athletic shoes. They are very thin and light, which is nice, but they do not provide support nor protection to your sole. I wore them for a full day recently and my feet were sore by the end. Also they run very, very small. I am normally an 11.5 and I ordered 12 which are snug and I could probably go to a 12.5.

It's a very stylish, retro looking shoe. I bought it for the weight room, but the product tag says "not for high performance athletics." I ordered a pair of 10.5 Saucony as well. My toe is right on the end of the shoe, so much that it ached after 10 minutes of wearing. It definitely runs small. The only size left is an 11.5, so Im going to try those out since I do like the intense color pop of the shoe. As far as a gym shoe, IM going to keep looking. The Inov-8 brand has caught my attention.
