These are really nice looking shoes. Low profile. I wish the front were more narrow like my older pair of Tigers, but that is just an opinion. There is nothing wrong with the front of these shoes and it doesn't make your foot look huge or anything. My previous pair was just cut a little more narrow on the front. I wear a 7.5 women's but the equivalent of the 7.5 women's was a bit big. The 7 fit great, with our without socks. Very comfortable and I love the black on black.

Bought them for a work shoe for my husband. Primarily based on the fact that they're vegan and super cute. He didn't think they were "work shoe" worthy, and thought they looked like more of an athletic shoe. But I still like them a lot!

Ohhh man, these are so nice. They are lightweight and a little on the wide side, which is perfect for me. They are flexible and ridiculously comfortable and just make my feet feel... safe. I got black/black2, which seems almost TOO black, but I'll get used to it.

I love these shoes right down to the color, but they are WAY TOO WIDE in the HEEL. They slip and would rub a blister. Is it because they are unisex? I have other Aisics (for women only) that do not have this problem.

Very comfy, snug shoes. Great stylish shoe if you're looking for that retro look but also great for a night out. Goes well with jeans and chinos.

These are the best shoes! I've been wearing Ultimate 81's for years and these are my favorite by far. Black on black I get comments about them every time I go out.

Got these in black/black for my partner and he really likes them so far! He normally goes for black vans, but wanted something 100% vegan and with a little more arch support. These are doing the trick, and still work with his style.

I LOVE these sneakers! I must confess that I bought them entirely for their look (ADORE the black and silver combo!), not because I needed them for any particular activity. Although they are stiffer and more structured than the Nikes I have (which are made of a stretchy material and specifically designed to have a "natural" feel), these shoes are still super comfortable; I wear them casually as well as to work, and since I've only had them for a couple of weeks, I assume they will soften up a bit over time. I don't know how they would feel to exercise or run in, but I don't plan on using them for either. I am actually thinking about buying a second pair of these in the Zinfandel and perhaps even another pair of the ones I have as a backup for when these wear out!

Less room in the toebox than Nike, so we are sending it back. A nice shoe though.

Wasn't sure about these at first because they felt stiff and there was a rough spot behind the laces that rubbed on my foot. But after a few wears, they're broken in and comfortable. The arch support is firmer than I'd like (not so high that it's uncomfortable though - I have average arches), and I wish they were a little more cushioned. But overall, they're fine to wear all day. I sometimes go up a half size in running shoes, but these fit well in my usual size.

This is the second pair I've purchased and they are really great sneakers. The comfort level is great and they are very light weight, almost feels like I'm not wearing any shoes. The style is also great.

I love Onitsuka Tiger shoes. I wear them until they fall apart (which takes awhile, and I'm tough on shoes) and then buy a new type. Just got these for my birthday. Love the colors and the linen-like upper - a neat touch. I have high arches and a little wider foot than average and it does take a minute to break these in. But I'm always so happy!

Great shoes! Nice look and perfect fit for me! These shoes were fantastic for our trip and I am sure I will be wearing them around all the time. Thanks to Zappos fast service I got these just in time to take them along. I wore these on the plane and walked all over London, Athens and the Greek Isles in these shoes. They were incredibly comfortable and held up great. I also like the low profile look of these shoes. They looked good with long pants, cropped pants and shorts. I think without socks I could have even worn them w/ a casual skirt. I got the all black and wish they came in a few other solid colors (personally I don't really want 2 tone shoes - I feel the 2 tone ones look too much like running shoes - if I want that I'll just bring my running shoes.) Anyhow - these were Totally worth it!!

These are true to size! I was nervous about what size to order and decided to just order my regular size and they fit just fine! I love the arch support in these as well. Very comfortable pair of shoes. And I must say, ZAPPOS is da bomb. Fast service is mind blowing!!!

I've been wearing tigers for around 8 years. Pretty much buy a new pair once a year. They're my favorites. Someone referred to them as ninja slippers once, which i think is lame but i get it because they're light and comfortable and have a low profile. I was debating getting these in black/black versus grey. I saw the black/black in person a day or two after i was thinking about getting them. That color way looks really good in person. highly recommend.

i really like the look of this shoe but since I need more cushioning and arch support it just wasn't the shoe for me.

I absolutely love these sneakers. These are my 3rd pair and I'll buy a 4th once these wear down. I get a lot of compliments on them and they are very comfortable.

I typically wear a womens 9.5 but ordered 10 since I was sized as a 10 at a shoe store the last time i tried on sneakers. These fit perfect. Lots of toe room, moderate arch support, non flashy style but still cool. I love them!
