Great shoe. The arch support seems a wee bit farther back than it should be, but it is still very supportive. Quality of the materials is great. Despite the other reviews, I actually found it ran one half size small.

Great shoe! They are quite comfortable and are built well. I recommend them to anyone looking for a nice pair of causal walking shoes.

This shoes have been awesome! Now that I've had them for a while, I thought I'd write a review. These shoes do a really good at providing arch support in contrast to my other Onitsuka Fabres. I still love my Fabres but I definitely prefer these. They are much more comfortable and I get a lot of compliments on them.

Shipped quickly. Great price. Really enjoying this shoe. Haven't done a ton of working out in it yet, but have got compliments on casual day at work.

My hopes came true with this shoe's fit & look. Looks good with jeans, size was dead on, width was dead on and the arch support is damn good. The shoe feels sturdy, and hope the quality stands the test of time. Two-thumbs up.

Bought these for my daughter for school. She loves them. They are light weight and breathable. My husband liked the design so much he bought some for himself. A great all round sneaker.

Zappos Exclusive White/Mixed Black just arrived in the mail. It is much lighter than I was expecting out of the box, very thin mesh on the sides of the shoes make them breathable. I prefer thin flat soles with minimal support so I find the arch is a bit high, contrary to many other reviews. The picture makes it look a little more like a skateboard sneaker. Although it is not exactly what I was expecting, it is still a sweet looking casual sneaker, perfect with jeans and a button up for a night on the town. I would definitely purchase these again! Also, I wear 10½ or 11 depending on the brand, these fit perfect in 10½. I would not say they are half a size too large since I can switch, maybe a quarter size large? I also have slightly wide balls of the feet so I am used to a slightly narrow feeling shoe. Therefore I will put true to size and width.

These are really cute sneakers. They are good quality and light weight. They provide better arch support than expected.

What an awesome shoe! I love it, it's so light and fits perfectly. At first I was a little nervous because it was a little tight and the fabric on the top kind of hurt a little bit but after walking around for an hour or two it feels great. Also the shipping was so fast! Awesome shoe. Awesome website. Keep up the good work.

These have a cool look, awesome feel and are light weight. I do not know how these are to race in but for knocking around on a weekend, they are perfect.

Great pair of shoes! Everyone loves them although i was hesitant to purchase in the beginning since it looked narrow. But, it is very comfortable and will purchase every single color. I hated buy shoes and pants but with Zappos it made my life a lot easier.

One of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I love the styling and want to get it in different colors.

Awesome, that's all I can say. Not only the sneakers which I have gotten many compliments on but also the service of Zappos. Zappos is my go to website.

I like the style, color contrast, comfort, and fit. I like wearing mine without socks. A great casual or "kicking around town shoe." However, I would not recommend them as an exercise, long distance walking shoe. This is was my first purchase from Zappos.com.

I ordered these shoes for my 19 year old grandson who is in college. He loves the shoes and says they are so comfortable. He picked the shoe and the colors. He lives in Maryland and I live in Texas. Zappos upgraded the shipping and the shoes were received the next day.

I love the Onitsuka Tiger series. They are awesome looking shoes, fit like a dream and are super comfortable, only issue is they don't have a long life expectancy, so buy more than one pair at a time!

Love these shoes! They're stylish and so comfortable. I'm on my feet all day so I need a reliable shoe that won't leave my feet aching by the end of the day. And I'm constantly getting compliments on them. Definitely a worthy investment.

These are by far some of the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. The style is great, too. You do not even have to break them in, as they are comfortable right out of the box. These are great shoes for the money.

These shoes are surprisingly light and very easy to move with. I initially bought them to practice parkour and they have held up very nicely. However, if you are looking for high impact resistant shoes, these are not so great for big jumps. If you want speed and grip for flipping and tricking, I recommend these shoes. Overall, they are comfortable regardless of what they are going to be used for.

These shoes fit my feet well. I'm normally a size 12 and the 12's in this shoe fit fine. One issue I experienced was one of my heels was getting rubbed/sore from the shoe, but once I broke them in that issue went away. Pretty nice shoes and they look great.

Bought these for my son. He absolutely loves them. Has bought many of these throughout the years, his favorite by far. And the prompt delivery was amazing. Got them in less than 24 hours! Thanks Zappos, will see you again soon!

These shoes are really light, and offer a good amount of cushion. I've been really pleased. They're not the most amazingly comfortable shoes ever - but my walking around a lot on a college campus feels fine, unlike most other stylish shoes.

As always Asics are my favorite shoes for gym workouts. I love to workout at my local crossfit and these shoes are perfect for are daily WOD.
