Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Temp Racer™

Out of the 5 pairs of Ontisuka Tiger's that I have owned over the past decade, these are the least comfortable. The arch support is lacking and they tend to run slightly narrow.

Didn't like it at first, but came to love it once I understood it. I usually wear the Mexico 66, so I'm used to something flat and roomy. But I wanted something with a bit more cushion and support. I don't like the look of the Ultimate 81 for work because they are too clunky and casual, although I do wear them to the gym. The other reviews said that this shoe fit narrow, so I ordered a size up, and boy am I glad I did. It is very snug, but it breaks in after a wear or two and feels much better. If you look closely, you'll see that the Temp Racer is like a sleeker version of the Ultimate 81, which is exactly what I wanted. It is narrower because it doesn't have that duck bill toe box, which makes the Ultimate 81 look so casual. All in all, I think the Temp Racer is an excellent design and enthusiastically recommend it to those looking for a stylish sneaker that is comfortable and can be dressed up if necessary.

I love Asics and I appreciate that they usually have a non-leather model. I wear them daily for years before they wear out. This Temp Racer, though, is small. I thought it would stretch out, but months later it has not and I can't wear them with socks - which is a bummer because they make my feet stink.

I am loyal to this brand because they serve me well. I wear them to smithereens. I wear them every day and they last 2-4 years before the soles wear too thin. I am on my feet a lot. They're better than Chuck's or Keds for arch support, but they're below orthotics. They're great for narrow feet.

Great looking shoe. unfortunately for me they felt a little to narrow so I'm going to have to send them back. But if you feel like your foot is a little on the narrow side then I'm sure you'll like them.

I've owned over 40 pairs of the Tigers. These are MUCH more narrow than any Tiger I've ever worn. Be warned.

These shoes are dope. Light and comfortable. I have high arches, and thought I'd need to put my insoles in for them to be comfortable but these were just fine. They feel a bit cheap, as in they'll probably need to be replaced in a few months but right now they are fine.

These were so cute and sleek, and I was won over when I took them out of the box. Sadly... they are really stiff. I didn't give them much of a chance to break in, because I had purchased a different shoe (Nike) which fit much better without needing to be broken in at all. Very stylish shoe, but I did end up sending them back.
