2nd pair of these and I’m thinking about a 3rd pair of the ultimate 81’s. They fit well and wear well, I’m about a year into these (I wear them every day) and they are still holding up well. Would highly recommend.

These shoes fit comfortably right away. They look well made and stylish. I'm so glad to have a choice of a vegan shoe that doesn't look so predictable. (Re: earthy hippie) They don't have the greatest support but I have been on several long walks with them and the never hurt my feet.

While the shoes are a little snug at the tip, very happy with the purchase. They're aesthetically pleasant, and vegan, which is a perfect combination. Two thumbs up. And for me, they were true to size.

These are so stylish! They look good with jeans or shorts or even dresses.

Tigers were my go-to in High School (in the 80s) and when I saw this pair in grey they struck me as the coolest retro casual sneakers I've seen in a long time. Couldn't wait to order them and they didn't disappoint! They feel exactly the same as my 80s Tigers and the color works with everything. Love, love, love them. When my 15 yo daughter saw them, she wanted a pair, too!

I love these shoes so much. I bought them 2 years ago and they’re still my favorite, so I’m about to order more in other colors. I had purchased a pair of Nike’s at the same time 2 years ago, and they are so uncomfortable compared to these sneakers.

My son LOVES these and the white stripes on black makes them look so sharp.He has other shoes that are this make and knows it's a no brainer to order, as the size is true and they last a long time!

I bought these in black about three weeks ago and have worn them almost daily. Extremely comfortable for wearing as comfortable walking shoes. These are not fitness shoes, however. I purchased these to wear instead of fitness shoes because I needed something a little more spiffy. A great looking shoe and at a great price.

I had a pair of these years ago and wanted to go back to them for a sneaker than is long-lasting, stylish, and good for walking. I like to wear Converse a lot, but they can hurt my feet if I'm walking a lot while traveling. The Onitsuka Tigers are subtle and classic, and provide decent support. I have a narrow foot and find that this style suits me well. A little more arch support might be helpful, but I can walk around in them for a long time without my feet getting tired. They're not big and clunky, and the stripe is very cool. Definitely worth it!

I bought these in two colors specifically for walking so I’d have something both comfortable and stylish, not a big bulky sneaker. I also wanted a vegan shoe rather than leather, and I am happy that Onitsuka tiger has this! They are very comfortable and true to size. Plus they look great!

These shoes are super comfortable. I usually wear vans or converse but I decided to try these and I am very happy. They fit amazing and look great! They’re perfect for casual wear or the gym. I love the little red on the white shoes! I might have found my new go to sneaker!

I've been eyeing these shoes ever since I visited Japan and was introduced to them. It took a while for me to pull the trigger because I usually don't spend this much money on casual sneakers, but boy am I glad I did. These are hands-down my favorite shoes. The arch support is fantastic. They breathe but have great protection if the ground is a little wet. I wore them on a trip to NYC for the first time and walked all day in them and was totally comfortable the whole time. But, most importantly, they look so damn cool. I smile every time I look at them. I'm usually a size 7-1/2 so I got an 8 because the reviews said they ran small, and they fit perfectly, so I'd definitely recommend sizing up a bit. Honestly, I'll probably get another pair. Can't recommend them enough!

With low arches that, before detection, gave me constant back pain, I buy nothing that doesn't provide arch support. This shoe does. It does not have a soft foam interior but more importantly, for me, it has a solid sole and foot bed that reduces stress on my feet during long walks around Costco. That said, the shoe is adorable. It has a low profile so it looks like an aerobic shoe but provides support like a walking shoe. I will buy it again. Too bad there's only black and white.

This is the most comfortable athletic shoe I’ve worn. I have hard to fit feet, and these fit perfectly! Thanks for great customer service, Zappos!

Love this style of Asics as I own a few pair. Light, comfortable and pretty much goes with anything. Ordered the white and probably going to wear them sparingly as to not get them too dirty!

I've been wearing these for years and they have been pretty consistent in quality. Can't really beat the price. My only gripe about these sneakers is that you cannot replace the insole.

I'm a girl, I wanted running shoes. All of the girl running shoes are lame and pink and ugly. I wanted all black shoes. These are all black. And they are shoes. I like them. They make me feel cool.

I've worn this shoe for years. These are as cute as ever, but they run really narrow.
