Love the shoes! Would definitely buy again through Zappos (this was my first purchase).

I bought these as a gift for my daughter, she wanted a "cute knock around shoe" - she is in her early 30's. She loves them - very comfortable. She gets compliments every time she wears them.

This is my second pair of the Ultimate 81, and they're by far the most comfortable walking shoes I own. The style is classic, and the multiple color options are amazing. They are especially good for a wider foot, and they nicely accommodate my orthotics. Highly recommend.

This is my first pair of Asics and doubt it'll be my last. Just got them but took my dogs for a walk in them and they were insanely comfortable. As long as they last I'll be getting another pair.

I love these shoes! These unisex shoes are a bit more substantial, structured, and cushioned than the women's only variety. I have 6 or so pairs of Tiger shoes, and have always worn women's size 7.5. I had to return these and go for the 7, I assume because the unisex sizing is not correct in all sizes (so it may be that some reviewers find them too small in larger sizes, and too big in smaller sizes).

I have had these shoes for one year now and they have held up great. They are fun and stylish to wear! The support is not bad for your average shoe. I do not wear them when I work because standing in them for 8 hours is not as nice to my knees as compared to my running shoes. I'd imagine my pair will last me at least another year, and when they wear out I will definitely consider getting another.

Great shoe! I am a female, wear a size 10.5. I ordered a man's 9.5, per reviews that said the shoe runs about a .5 size small. The fit was perfect. I use this shoe to walk 5 miles daily. I have normal arches and found that walking shoes were too bulky, and running shoes had too many bells and whistles. I am 54 years old, and in good shape. This shoe is perfect for the walking I do. I also use it for casual wear. I plan to order more of these in different colors for casual wear and can't beat the price!

I bought the black/glacier grey with the red laces. They're very comfortable and look really nice. The red laces are a little bright but it does come with a pair of grey laces.

Awesome. All those positive reviews are right on. It's so soft and cozy on the inside and it feels as much like a house slipper as a tennis shoe. I bought it as a more fashionable workout shoe, but I find myself wearing it to the store, to the office, and everywhere. It is not as structured on the inside as the Asic Gel Trainers I'm used to, but they're plenty supportive for my gym workouts. I wear a size 10 woman's shoe and used the fit chart to choose the matching man's size. This shoe actually makes my feet look smaller, which is far more than I can say for just about any other gym shoe I've owned. Highly recommend. I might go back to buy another color or two.

I bought these sneakers as a Christmas gift for my Husband. This is his second pair (he had a different color last time though), and he absolutely loves them! They are stylish without being over-the-top and very comfortable as everyday sneakers. He gets compliments from strangers and friends all the time. I would recommend them to anyone. Zappos is also quick with their shipping, so there were no issues getting them in time for the holidays.

I have bought 3 pairs of the Tigers in a row, and I don't see an end of buying them anytime soon. They are the most comfortable shoes straight out of the box, and they only get better. The shoes look great with jeans and with shorts. The only problem I've had is that they are difficult to keep clean, but all cloth, white shoes are. I recommend water-proofing them to keep from staining right away. But they are only 65 bucks so its not that big of a deal.

Love this shoe but I found that it runs a full size too small for me and a bit more narrow than I would have expected. I really like its lightweight feel and will be ordering a size larger!

This has a classic, cool style. It is the perfect gift for the teen in your life who is cool enough to know that retro is the wave of the future!

These are cute, comfortable, and, I think, stylish. They do not look like every other sneaker. Some reviewers said to order a size up so I bought two sizes; my regular size and half a size bigger. Even though my feet are on the wider side, I kept my regular size. They fit fine. I wear these with skinny jeans when I am out running a bunch of errands and really like them. I picked the navy with white trim.

I bought these in the drizzle/black in a womens 7.5 or mens 6. I normally wear a womens 7.5 and these are perfect, but it took a couple days. I found that they fit a snug at the sides but just right in the toes. I have been wearing them all day for 3 days now and they have stretched to fit perfectly. They fit like a glove with normal socks. I'm so glad I didn't size up. I feel like a ninja in these....so stealth when I walk. An everyday shoe and I will definitely buy these again. Super happy!

Extremely lightweight and comfortable. I got a few smudges on the suede part of the toe and thought for sure the shoes were headed for the wash but the cleanup only required a light rub from a dry cloth and they were new again.

Bought this shoes for my son. This is the only brand he will wear. We purchase him a new pair every year for his birthday. They last him all year....he wears them every day. His birthday is about the only time we can get him to travel home to visit...we think it is the shoes.

This is a little embarrassing but I now own 7 pairs of Tigers! They are basically the only brand I wear because of both comfort and design. They come in so many great colors!

Very comfortable and breathable. Wide toe is comfortable but I'd prefer it to be narrower, style-wise.

This is mt tenth pair of Asics Onitsuka. If you have never bought Onitsuka Tiger, I would suggest you go to a store and try them on. These type of shoes have a high arch and may bother some people with flat feet. They are reasonably comfortable so they are more for style.

I love these shoes. I was looking for a new set of “everyday” shoes. These are comfortable, stylish and have enough traction for everyday use and there are no big gaps to trap rocks. I haven't been in a rainstorm with them yet but I think they'll hold out water well.

Great shoe! Light-weight, good traction on the bottom, over-all one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on. The arches are a little higher than most other shoes I have put on, the length runs pretty true to size, but the middle of the shoe is a bit narrow so if you have a very wide foot I would recommend something else. I will be buying another pair of these!
