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!

Bummer! I've been a huge fan of Tiger Onitsuka shoes and ordered these to replace a pair that had worn out. Unfortunately the sizing on these shoes have changed. I usually wear a men's 6, but these were too big, and the men's 5.5 was too small. I may try ordering another pair, just a different style and see if perhaps it was just this style of shoe, but I'm super sad, that these no longer fit me.

Nice shoes. Pretty comfy but they feel a bit tight on my right foot. Could be that my right foot is just a bit larger than my left. It's not too tight that I'm hurting though.

I really love these shoes. I have been a fan of them for many years, and they've always served me well. The fit is perfect. Depending on the shoe I can be a 7.5-8. The 8 fit just right with a little room to wiggle my big toe, even with socks. Theyre really stylish, so you can wear them out with a causal outfit, or even to do some moderate exercise. They probably aren't great for running, but otherwise useful. I love them!

I love these shoes. They fill a half size bigger than Nike shoes. I'll buy another pair soon.

I've had 4 pairs of these now over 6 years. They are pretty amazing. Every pair I've had has been comfortable, stylish, and held up pretty well. Would buy again, for sure.

These sneakers look just as good in person as they do online. They're pretty roomy inside, so walk around a little bit after you get them to make sure you got the right size. I put on a slightly thicker sock and am good with my usual size. They're comfortable, the insole has some pretty serious padding, though that's possibly because I'm used to Converse and Vans. Still very comfortable.
