Love the color and the styling. Great when wanting to dress casual but still look stylish. Wish the shoe had a little better cushioning. Feet hurt after a few hours.

I bought the green/orange color for a trip to Italy so I could still look cute while walking miles and miles. I fit right in with the Europeans in these, on top of being very comfortable. As a woman, I'm not used to such a wide toe box but I have a wide foot so it was fine. For a woman with a narrow foot it might bother you.

It's very hard to find sneakers that attract your eye & style sense when you have high arches that need support, and a wide foot. So far with these, so good! The width is nice, toe box is a good size, heel is stable. I like that the heel is deep/high, which means I can fit in a pair of orthotics. Can you tell that I'm very tired of wearing New Balance?! Just take note that these run small. I had to return and then order half a size larger.

These are my first Asics I've owned and it won't be the last. I'm very pleased with the overall quality of the shoe even though they are replicas of a shoe produced during an era of not so remarkable footwear technology. They are super comfortable but don't have the robust construction needed for super performance. I have pretty standard width feet along with relatively high arches and these were plush perfect. I like casual shoes to feel like wearing socks and these delivered. They have been a great summer casual shoe for everyday use. The materials are very breathable but at the same time porous to the wet elements. The only drawback I have is that if you wear these more than 3-4 times a week they won't last more than a year or so in that you'll lose lateral support and the sole (heel) will begin to flatten over time. All of the stitching and materials have held up very well though. Get a couple different color pairs of these to alternate and you'll be set!

I love my Tigers very much, but they were really water absorbent. Everything else was overwhelmingly great. They feel so comfortable that I wear them everyday, except on rainy days.

This is a great looking shoe. I chose the black on black, which for me just wasn't right. I would have chosen a different color combination and been very happy if i wasn't specifically looking for a shoe i could walk all day in. This shoe doesn't have a ton of foot padding and i was concerned my feet would not be happy after trecking around the streets of Paris, literally all day. If i was just looking for a sneaker to kick around the city this would be it for sure. These Onitsuka Tigers are growing in popularity here in Boston and i have seen them for much more in trendy shops here.

Overall a decent shoe. I have narrow feet and this does not do much to support it, but I knew that purchasing it in the first place.

I love the shoes. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the length of the shoe strings. They are too short.

Great shoe! I've owned Asics before and I wasn't disappointed with this model. I usually need a shoe with more ankle support but I have been loving this shoe. They are super grippy on my bike pedals, are very lightweight, and with all of the different color schemes, I definitely want to get another pair or two!

These are very comfortable shoes. I know this sounds weird, but I was hoping it would be a little easier to get them dirty--but they insist on staying pretty bright white.

So comfy, I want to wear them every day. I get tons of compliments on the retro styling and cool blue color. My feet love them. The only down side is the quality; after a few months, the rubber trim in the front is coming loose from the suede, but they look reasonably okay. Not a real sturdy shoe, but I'd buy them again in a minute, due to comfort and styling.

Very comfy shoe, but just for walking and casual wearing around. I get lots of complements. They look great with jeans, and you can wear them with or without socks if you want.

Comfortable although not that much arch support. Only concern is that these shoes are very white in areas that will easily look dingy after a few months.

It's a heel-strikers dream shoe since the bottom wraps seamless around back and front. More arch support than the ballerina style flats but definitely not a stability shoe. The way that the inside is made makes it difficult to add a arch support shoe insert. Still overall, Very comfortable shoe (lasts my 8 hour shifts standing at work). Doesn't smudge easily; even so, it cleans easily. Great shoe - I'm a total Onitsuka convert for all around everyday throw around shoes.

Very comfortable and gotten a bunch of compliments. Got a blister from the heel of the right shoe at first but now it worked itself out.

Classiest shoes I've ever owned. Comfy too... they feel like you're walking on air. Somewhat prone to getting dirty, though.

This is a nice looking shoe but not the most comfortable in my opinion. If your shoe size is a 9.5 or 10 depending on the shoe then get the 9.5, the fit is pretty true to size. Personally I don't think I'd get another pair or these shoes but who knows, for another person they may be a great shoe.

Great looking shoes for walking and casual wear. I've gotten many compliments on the style. The red laces seemed to be a little much, so I swapped them out for the included grey ones.

I do a ton of standing and walking around on hard surfaces for my job, and my feet aren't all that sore at the end of the day thanks to these shoes. They also breathe well and, despite being all black, don't heat up all that much in the sun.

Good fitting shoe,especially if you have wider feet. Nice roomy toe box. I use them for general use and Crossfit. The heel is higher than I would like but all in all a good shoe.

This is a really stylish and light summer shoe. I love the color, and, as others have mentioned, people do compliment them. They don't have enough arch support to be an all around sneaker, but for weekends and looking cool, they do the trick!

Great shoe. Perfect for the fall or spring. Probably too warm for mid summer hanging out. Runs a half size too big in my opinion.

The shoes are great and are very light feeling; barely feels like you are wearing shoes. Only negative is around the heel, in certain lighting, the heel is a pink hue.

The shoe wears very well. Looks 10x better on the foot than on the screen. Onitsuka never fails when it comes to making a solid shoe. Keep it up.
