Love these shoes. I have worn various pairs of Onitsuka Tiger exclusively for the past 1.5 years.

I loved this shoe the first time I saw it. Not only did I buy the first pair and love it, it bought a second pair of the same shoe not long after. I love these shoes because they are the most comfortable shoes I have owned in a long time. Since I am a college student and have to walk around a lot I recommend these shoes. Not only are the great, but they come in a variety of colors. The purchase is well worth it and I always get stares at my shoes, and so will you.

I got these as a present, and he loves them! He has an old similar pair of these (same brand but the ones without laces) that were his favorite but were beat up. I mean the dogs even chewed on them. He didn't care. He says they were super comfy and always wore them when walking the dogs. I bought these in hopes of retiring the scary pair. Thank You Zappos!! He loves them and hasn't worn the old ones since I bought these! The size runs a tad small. He normally wears 12, but these were a little snug. I tried to return them for him for a 13, but he wouldn't give them back. He said he just has to break them in . . . I guess that means no socks for a week. Also, these are Not black; they're mainly dark blue with a little bit of black and white stripes. I meant to buy black. Besides that this was a great buy!

Bought as a Christmas gift. Originally ordered a different color, but it was sold out. Regardless my son loved this shoe!

I have been using these shoes for Crossfit for several years now. They work great for a minimalist running shoe as well as for the flat platform needed for olympic lifting. I have several pairs and they are my favorite running/athletic shoe out of all the ones I have owned. Definitely recommend!

They are good shoes and exactly what I was looking for. Great casual sneaker, to find my size I just went to Nordstroms to try them on the ordered from Zappos!

This is my 3rd pair of Onitsuka Tigers. The gray and tan are a nice low profile look. They are your basic every day kicks. Deceptively durable.

These shoes are comfortable and look really awesome. The green is almost a silver and isn't some vibrant color, which I like. The back heel is high compared to other shoes and was a bit uncomfortable at first, but now that I've broken them in the heel feels fine. These shoes also have surprisingly good traction and are very light weight! Overall, a good purchase.

Extremely comfortable shoes. Good price. Got the navy and white, and theres also quite a bit of black stitching. Looks a little odd but hard to tell the black from the navy.

So happy with my new sneaks - these are true to size, with good arch support. I loved the extra set of orange laces that came with them!

Been wearing Tigers since 1974 for high school track. Ultra light good support and stylish after all these years. A company that stays true to form and never gives in to the latest wild assembly of colors or styles.

As another review mentioned, the left shoe rubbed the back of my ankle uncomfortably when I first started wearing them; this stopped as the shoes stretched out during normal use. These are now my every day choice for casual wear. Surprising level of comfort for such a flat, lightweight shoe.

These are my husband's favorite pair of shoes and are worn multiple times a week. The first pair he continued to wear even though he had completely worn them out, so I bought another. Even though the original pair is pretty worn, he still puts them on for occasional work around the house. Stylish shoe that holds up well. My husband has recommended them for both my son and myself.

I really love these shoes. I have a pair in white with red/black stripes that I wear all summer, but I wanted a darker color for the winter months. These shoes are super comfy, and are my all day weekend shoe. I find them comfy and sturdy enough for weekend errands, and just slightly trendy enough to wear out in the evening, too. They look great with jeans or khakis. I did find with my first pair that I had to send them back at first to exchange for a half size larger, but with Zappos, that's no problem.

Bought this shoe in two different colors. They are awesome, very consistent size across the different colors. Comfortable and look great! Lots of comments. Compared with the several Puma shoes, these were lighter and more comfortable.

The best running shoes are often the cheapest with the least padding or orthoses. These and Puma's are the best. They are light, comfortable and have surprisingly good traction. I run on dirt trails and they work fine.

Awesome shoe! I'm in love. I can't wait to get another pair! I'm looking forward to more colors in the future. I got the red and black ones and they're so comfortable and cute. I've been using Onitsukas for crossfit for a couple months now and it works great - just avoid rope climbs! They'll tear the poor things up.

Bought it in the same size I usually do (size 10) but it was half a size larger. Overall is a great shoe! Design and style are superb!

I bought these shoes for a trip to Europe as they were lighter and more stylish than tennis shoes. We walked over 10 miles some days and they held up well. My feet were mildly sore at the end of the but they would have been anyway based on the mileage and the cobblestone. I'm very happy with my purchase.
