Great classic -
I own this style in four color ways. They are the most comfortable shoe I have in my collection of retro Tigers, Adidas, and Pumas... these DEFINITELY fit TRUE TO SIZE.
I'd also recommend:

Great for running!
These shoes are awesome for running (and come at a great price)! A light yet supportive minimalistic running shoe. The flat rubber sole allows for a smooth landing. These shoes get better traction on slippery surfaces than shoes with waffle soles; they also collect less dirt on the sole. I think I may try a half-size smaller next time. I'm looking forward to buying my next pair!

Asics -
Theses shoes are so hot. Heads turn when I come through with these on. They are comfortable, and they are true to there size.

Excellent trainers -
Purchased these in Indian Yellow a day and a half ago and received them this morning. Zappos upgraded my order to overnight delivery for FREE. The shoes are not only comfortable, but look great. I couldn't decide between these and the Red/Gold, because both are awesome color combinations. The Indian Yellow is a deep lovely yellow which makes them noticeable. Also, not many people have these so I feel special.
Size wise, I wear a mens 7.5/womens 9 in Adidas and purchased the mens 7.5 in these and they fit perfect.

Yellow Lover -
These shoes are a treat! They're just a lot of fun. I'm not a runner, so I can't speak to how they do in that context. But if you're looking to make a little funky statement in yellow, go for these shoes. They're comfy and light. I ordered half a size up, as I always do in sneakers, and they fit well. They look better on than they do in the picture.

Everything's fitting good and works good. Only issue us the sole up front in in the toe of the shoe is peeling off a little after only a 3-4 months of regular use.

These always look great but could be a bit more comfortable and better made. Had a pair years ago and were better made. They also always seem too long.

I love this brand and have worn them for years in many colors, but I think my foot has finally outgrown them. The length is fine; the shoe is too narrow for me now. I'm very sad that this was likely my last pair, unless they start offering a wide option.

I normally wear a size 7.5 in athletic shoes, but the 7.5 was too long, so returned for a size 7 and these fit just right. I have a narrow foot and these shoes fit my narrow foot very well. I am not sure these shoes will be comfortable for avid walkers, but great for everyday wear.

I usually prefer Asics, but will wear any quality brand that fits and is comfortable.

Wanted to love these! They were narrow and hurt across the top of my foot.

Love these shoes! They are very comfortable and stylish. I wear size 5.5 for sneakers and these fit just right. I would buy them again, but the price just went up! ?

I have a wide foot, and the regular fit me well... I don’t think it is excessively wide, it is just a soft-bodied shoe with more “give” than most. Soles are very thin... not good for hiking or athletics, but very comfortable as a casual sneaker. Super cool looking.

Excellent, as usual. A classic. Not much arch support, but that’s not what you’re buying here. Still, Ultimate 81 is overall sturdier than some of the other Tigers I’ve had. I like it!

Shoes look great but scuff easily. Soles are terrible and provide no arch support. I had to rip out the soles in add inserts. Great looking shoes but be prepared to do the same if you want to wear them.

Probably owned about 6 pairs of these over he past 10 years. I opt to go for mesh upper. They look great an work well as a casual shoe. They are pretty flat an offer very little traction. I specifically use these for walking an for light deadlifting/squatting at the gym when I don't feel like bringing a dedicated lifting shoe. Tip: Women's options have way more colors and outside of a couple the colors are unisex.
