These are great everyday shoes. They are actually more comfortable as you wear them more. Comes with orange and black laces.

This is my 2nd pair of Tigers. They are comfy, low profile, and cute. They came with an alternate pair of navy blue laces, but for now I'm keeping the orange in. Totally satisfied with these!

Got this shoe for my brother, he said they were cool, very light comfortable a little tight at first but once they are wore in they are cool!

One of my favorite shoes. Over the years I have owned several pairs in different colors and materials. In my opinion the leather and nylon ones are the most comfortable and breathable. They are very low profile and have very little arch support so if you need that look elsewhere. The variety of colors and frequent updates on Zappos is great. Please bring back the white with green accents!

I've owned three pairs of Tigers in as many years. I absolutely love these shoes. Regarding the color I just got from Zappos, I think they are my favorite pair yet.

These shoes are so awesome. Had a pair in the past and they have lasted forever. I was hopping to get them in green but all they had was 10's. The hunt continues.

Love these shoes. Very comfortable on my slightly narrow size 8 women feet. Great casual look with jeans. Plus the laces actually stay tied. I own several colors of these and think they're great. Will purchase again.

Love them. Very comfy, excellent support. Only thing I will complain about is that they are very squeaky when wet. But that's a small downside when the rest of the shoe is so great.

I love these sneakers. I have been wearing Onitsuka Tiger for 8 years now. I usually stick with the Mexico 66 style. I have traveled to many cities with these sneakers in tow and they have never failed me. I can walk for hours in them and not complain once about my feet hurting. They are cushioned inside and they look nice with any jeans or shorts you wear them with. I recently bought Ultimate 81 style and they are just as comfortable and stylish as the Mexico 66. This is a great brand.

I love this shoes. That are super comfy. I wear the ones with thicker material for winter and the ones with thinner material for summer. They breathe well. You can even through the thinner ones in the wash a few times and they come out great!

I just bought my fourth or fifth pair of these in about as many years. I keep trying other similar style sneakers in an attempt to mix it up a bit, but I keep coming back to these. They are comfortable, they hold up well, and they look good.

Trying out a new style–I'm usually into Nike and skate shoes. They've quickly grown on me. Usual size fit like a glove, though they are a bit narrow and tuck under your arch, so the sole can feel small. Still super comfy, and I would recommend to anyone.

Best shoe I have bought to date. I needed something cute, casual, and comfortable for walking around campus. My foot is a bit wide so the fact that this shoe is a bit wider because of being unisex is awesome.

Really comfortable and cute. Great with jeans. Also came with black laces in case you get tired of the bright ones.

These sneakers are so comfortable right out of the box. I hesitated to buy them because they look very similar to a pair a have but the ones I have are more of a running sneaker, these I will wear for casual dress up. Glad I went with the size 8 instead of 7, they fit perfectly. As usual Zappos service is outstanding, they are always my first choice to order shoes because of the free shipping both ways /overnight delivery (VIP Zappos). I recently ordered some boots from another website because Zappos did not have and it was almost 3 weeks before I received them. Very happy with purchase.

I am so incredibly happy to have finally purchased a pair of Onitsuka Tigers. For years, I'd considered pulling the trigger, and now that I have, I'm not sure I'm ever going to wear another brand of sneaker.

I'm a sucker for a good pair of Ultimate 81's and these are no exception. Comfortable, durable, and very stylish. I wear these at work, on game day, and it's more style than other coaches can handle.

I bought these shoes on a whim for my husband for his birthday. I have worn Asics and they never disappoint. The style is very hip and I thought they would look great with a variety of outfits. It's been three weeks now and he wears them all the time. He said they are the most comfortable everyday shoes he has ever had, he loves the style, and they required no break-in period - they were comfortable and supportive from day one. I will definitely be buying these for him again!

It is hard to find good plain shoes these days, but I had to buy these and send them back twice because they did not fit. It turns out they are basically a size bigger than what I am used to, so I ended up with a 10 when I am used to wearing an 11. My ego will survive, don't you worry about me. I just want to make sure it does not happen to you, because even though Zappos makes returning things easy, it is still annoying and wasteful. What I look for in shoes, is something really plain and simple, that also gives you some basic options. What if you wanted to run for a second? Or play a pickup game of basketball with some random hoodlums you met in the street? Or hike? And these shoes fit that bill pretty well. Why people used to run in these back in the 70's like it was a normal thing to do. or so I hear. anyway the point is, this review is already way too long, and I cannot believe that I sat here and did this. Enjoy your shoes. Do not worry too much, they are just shoes, and you should just buy these and spend the rest of your time on something more important.

Love them. Bought them for work. Loved them as soon as I broke them in with my wide feet. Many compliments on them as well. I just put in insoles to help my arch and heels.

Great shoes, fit is very true to size. Arch support is very firm. My pair came with 3 pairs of laces (black, grey, white) which was an added perk.

I am required to wear all black shoes for work and these work out just fine. They are a little flat but most days this isn't a problem. I'm sure adding an insert would help.

Great locking shoe. Well made. Fits true to size. It's a little high in the arch for me. So not totally comfortable for a long day of walking. But looks great. I would buy again.
