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.

These shoes fit true to size and look just like the picture. My feet are on the narrow side and these shoes are very comfortable. If you have wide feet you may want to look at something else. I am using them for casual wear and they are great, not sure how they would hold up as an actual running shoe though.

This is my third pair of the same type of shoe. I love the style and most of all the comfort. The mesh material on the tops and sides keep my feet cool.

These caught my attention from their very good reviews. I'm not disappointed! They are stylish and comfortable. Thinking of getting another pair in a different color.

Great vegan sneakers. Zappos is always my place to go to buy vegan sneakers. Prices are good. Shipping time is fantastic. Very happy.

Great shoe! Love the look. Certainly not a "heavy duty" athletic shoe, but I needed a new pair for lifting weights and treadmill at the gym. These are perfect! Only issue was they run about 1/2 size small so I had to exchange for the correct size.

Just put my onitsuka tiger shoes on and they're so comfortable right out of the box! That is what I love about this brand!

I've been wearing Tigers for god knows how long. Very comfortable, perfect for people with wide feet. In my case, I have small/wide feet. Unlike Vans, which I also love wearing, it doesn't require as much breaking in.

Price is right. Looks cute. Zappos is awesome. Bought a pair originally and there was something wrong with the stitching in the shoe that was digging into my foot. Zappos exchanged it so quickly. I sent a general email to Zappos and everything was taken care of, with new shoes on the way, in less than 30 minutes. Didn't even pick up the phone to call.

I use these as general everyday shoes. So far they are great! They are very lightweight, it feels like I am wearing slippers. They look good. Hopefully they will last. I could not be more satisfied. I wear and ordered a size 14 and they are true to size.

I love these shoes! I have had them for about a month now and they still look like new. They are very comfortable and stylish, I went with the black/gray color scheme. Quality materials. I would buy them again

Like other Tiger 81s, these sneakers look good and actually offer a little bit of structure for comfort, and a somewhat grippy sole. Finding form and function is hard. Also these are vegan as far as I can tell (per some definition) and this was accurately described in the Zappos profile (some of them are not).

These are great shoes. Just as expected. The price was good. It was a bit cheaper at my local store, but they only had one color to choose from so I went with Zappos.

I really like these shoes. They are light as a feather, very comfortable, very reasonably priced, and have great style. They fit true to size. I would buy them in every color if I could. I definitely recommend these.

These are exactly what I needed. I've had 3 or 4 pairs of the Mexico 66 style over the past ten years, but when the shop near my workplace stopped carrying them I decided to try a different style for more comfort/easier wearability etc (I always needed an insert for the mexico 66 to be comfortable all day at work). I tried a few other styles, including the Saucony bullet, which was really hugely wide, before deciding to go with this brand again (since I already knew I liked them). My job is very physical and I commute by public transit, so in an average day I am standing or walking for about 9 hours. These shoes are cushioned but not so stiff that it becomes hard to bend at the ball of the foot, and they still have a relatively minimal look/feel. They feel more secure around the ankle then other shoes I've worn in the past (something I didn't realize I was missing). They also have good traction. I have narrow feet and my arches are also kind of narrow. The shoes fit like an "as marked" medium width (meaning, they need to be laced tightly, with socks, to avoid feeling loose). The arch support seems good. Possibly more then I need. During the first week I had some pain at the end of the night in my right arch from the arch support hitting farther forward then I needed it to, but lacing that shoe more tightly has resolved the problem. I have worn these shoes to work every day for two weeks, and have not had any pain with them since the end of the first week.

I've had about 5 different pairs of these shoes, and they are always great. I was wearing flat shoes for so long, I forgot what arch support felt like. They look good with a variety of outfits, and stay comfy for a long time. I will say they are a bit pricy, but I still keep coming back!

I love these shoes, they have become my default. I'm on my third pair. They are super light, comfortable, and have great style, even after I wear them out after wearing them every day for 6 months.

These are great shoes. They look really good and are super comfortable. The only problem is that they rub on the back of my foot at my Achilles, but if I wear taller socks instead of the no-show socks they're perfect! There are so many great colors, I want another pair!

Sleek and low-profile, especially compared to regular athletic shoes, these make a great shoe for people like me who are too lazy to wear actual shoes on the daily. No tradeoff here as far as style and comfort. Will absolutely buy again and probably end up hoarding several pairs.

Great Shoe! I tried the Nike Flex. It was also a great shoe, but was too narrow in the front part of the shoe for my foot. These Asics have a slightly wider front section. The padding is not super plush, but is firm. I walk from 2-8 miles in one shift at work and these have felt very nice through the end of a shift. I'm also required to have all black shoes at work. Of the other shoes I tried, some sacrifice looks for comfort. These have combined a good fit and sleek look into one great shoe.
