I have ordered these shoes for a performance group the last 2 years and I can't begin to say how VERY HAPPY I have been with the product and customer service provided by Zappos! Not only are the phone reps extremely helpful and courteous but the shipping process, both initially and when returns are needed, is far and above what many companies offer. I recommend Zappos to anyone I can, anytime I can.

These ran about a half size larger than marked (and larger than other Onitsuka Tiger's I've purchased in the past - not sure if this is due to the unisex sizing or what. Also, the color is slightly more orange (less red) than on my monitor.

After having major back surgery I needed to find a shoe perfect for my daily exercises & learning to walk again. The look and style got my attention first. The support, design and comfort won me over. It was hard choosing a color, I can be really out there when it comes to being different. I put them on as soon as they arrived and I'm very pleased with the size & width being perfect. I feel more secure in going up and down my stairs & doing all of my daily physical therapy than my old Keds. Thanks Zappos.

Awesome shoe. Perfect for walking around the city on a warm day. Tread lightly away from pavement and asphalt, because they do scuff easily.

Great shoe. My first outing was a 6 mile walk along the Embarcadero in San Francisco and they were very comfortable. The Front rubber part got nicked and started to peel away after a hike in Muir Woods but it has not peeled back any farther.

These shoes are amazing. I wear them at work on casual days. I stand on my feet all day but I'm don't feel like it when I've been wearing these. I also wear them when I work out sometimes. Definitely worth it.

These shoes have the same comfort and support of my crosstrainers/running shoes but look so much better. Fantastic fit, not too narrow like similar styles.

Most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. I bought a pair two years ago and they still fit and feel great. If they get dirty, just throw them in the washer/dryer and they come out clean and in great shape. I wear them regularly and recently just got two more pairs. These are the perfect everyday sneaker.

Best shoes ever. Great kicks for a casual day out or a night at the club. Slip on and off with ease. I added the black laces for more balanced look.

So I'm wearing the shoes right now, tehy are pretty comfortable shoes. I would say I wish there was a strap on the back to get on the shoe quicker, I don't like the back guard as much as others would like.

Excellent shoe that I continue to admire to this day. The green and orange color combo, combined with the comfort and fit of the shoe put this one at the top of my closet favorites list.

These shoes are amazing. I just bought my third pair. I have owned both the leaf/grey and the grey/orange combos and really liked them both. I get compliments on them all the time. I use these shoes for everything -- everyday walking, hiking, and even running. They are really comfortable and have held up well over the last year of traveling the world. Very satisfied customer.

These are my new favorites. Quality materials, the details are perfect and most importantly, they are comfortable and feel awesome. Most shoes have a couple of wears until they are broken in. These felt that way the moment I tried them on. I'll definitely be replacing them when I've worn through them!

I have been wearing Onitsuka tigers for years so its tough for me to say if they run big or small but I like the ultimate 81 because it gives you more structure and cushion than the Mexico 66. A simple and useful tennis shoe.

I am excited to get these shoes in a half size larger. They are a bit narrow at the size I ordered and they also fit right to my toes...a bit too small. You may need a half size larger.

Great service as always. The shoe is exactly what I wanted. Good fit, though it runs perhaps a half size small, i.e. I usually wear 10.5-11 and 11 fits nicely., 10.5 would have been a little tight.

Do you wanna be just another "cool" guy and adopt another pair of Converse or Vans like every high schooler or skater punk in the known history of mankind has? Or do you want to prove an eager spirit to step outside of the frame, have some originality and own brand of shoe that most Americans dare not even dream of? If you are the latter, then get these shoes! Simply stated, there's nothing better.

Excellent shoes! Very light, very stylish, very comfortable. This is my second pair of these shoes (first pair was a different color) and I love them! I highly recommend!

I really like the color I decided on (took me a while to decide as there were about 20 color combos to choose from), which was Drizzle/Black. I have not yet worn them for an extended period and too casual for work but they seem to fit my feet well and not rub anywhere. Seem well constructed.

I wanted a simple comfortable sneaker, not too flashy. I love the sole, it's not chunky nor flat and provides sufficient cushioning. Exactly what I was looking for.

I like these very much. They fit well, and the pictures accurately reflect their true appearance. Also, they come with orange laces, too. I did not expect this, but I prefer them.
