I purchased these shoes because they looked fresh online and I respect the Asics name. Opening the box I was happy to find they looked even better than I expected. I normally wear a size 13 shoe, and the Tiger size 13 fit like a glove. This shoe is considerably light and has served as an excellent day shoe (had them for 4 weeks). They've held up great and also contour to your foot easily because of the light-weight build. My only criticism about the shoe is the mesh material that comprises the white part of the shoe. It picks up dirt and stains easily so be ready to throw these guys in the wash with some stain remover. I would definitely buy them again.

Great shoe -- the most comfortable sneaker I've bought in years. I bought it to replace my Saucony Jazz, which was not a great sneaker to wear all day. This one is. Arch support is surprisingly good, and walking around with them on for hours is no problem. I will be buying another color of these.

I love these shoes! This is the fourth pair of Tiger by Asics I have gotten. They are my favorite! They are light and comfortable. I am a bartender/waitress, so I am on my feet, running around sometimes 10 hours at a time, and my feet don't hurt when I get home. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10, but am comfortable in a size 9 with these shoes. And they come in so many colors!

I'm extremely pleased with this purchase as these have quickly become one of the favorite shoes that I've ever worn. They are extremely comfortable (great padding in the interior as well as great arch support), stylish, and very lightweight. I was surprised how, straight from the box, they fit great and seemed to need no breaking in. I'm so happy I purchased these and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a casual, comfortable shoe that is great for physical activity as well.

My 16 year old son loves these shoes. They have a great coolness factor and are super comfortable!

I got these shoes in the Zappos Exclusive Leaf Green and they look even more beautiful in person! The shoes at first feel like they lack cushioning and have a higher than normal amount of arch support but, after a couple of days of breaking them in, they are super comfortable and light! The heels on these, unlike with the Mexico 66, are a good height and these are great with jeans. Depending on the style you get, you will get a durable canvas with leather on the Asics logo, or a mix of leather and mesh. In the case of the Leaf Greens, it's a really pleasant canvas as opposed to a leather/mesh mix (which I prefer). Excellent purchase!

Since I have a wider foot, I went up a half size. These are actually really comfortable for the style of shoe - I do wear an arch support to give me some support due to the flat foot style. They also come with a grey pair of shoe strings as well.

I bought these sneakers for my husband. They are awesome. He already has four pairs of tigers, and these green ones are his favorite.

Just bought the gray and black. I wanted a cool, casual "athleisure" shoe to wear on the weekends and on dress down days at work, and this is perfect. Its lightweight, retro looking and super comfortable.

Great shoe! Came with 2 sets of laces - the white you see and the deep green to match the dark green on shoe.

These shoes are fantastic. They have a pronounced arch, which I wasn't expecting for some reason. I had previously been wearing flat soled shoes so this took some getting used to but now they're perfect. I'll be buying these again. My size 13 shoes were true to fit.

"Retro". Great service. Great shoes. I use the shoes to do cross training and they are very comfortable. They look good with pants or shorts. Getting ready to buy another pair in a different color!

Great, classic shoe. Looks great with Jeans or shorts, and it is very comfortable. A little on the narrow side if you have wider feet, but it is still really stable laterally. Just a good, solid all around shoe for sport or leisure.

I love these shoes. I have 12 pair in different colors and always get compliments. They're also super comfy. My only complaint is that the white gets dirty instantly, but that's what you get for wearing white shoes.

Great casual sneaker. I bought this sneaker primarily to wear with shorts/jeans if I needed something a bit more comfortable than loafers. They are constructed fairly well...I wouldn't use them for any vigorous athletic activity. For walking around town, they are excellent. I hope to wear them out when I head over to Italy for a few months!

Perfect for the casual wear. Perfect for minimalist running shoe. Perfect on the pocketbook. This is my second pair of tigers. They fit like a sock and make you feel nimble every time. They always come w/ 2 pairs of laces (for this one it was red and white) so you can switch it up when the others get dirty. Does fine in the washing machine. Lasts for a while, my others wore out after 500 miles. If you're in between sizes go down.

Super light weight and cushy! I am 5'10 female and I wear size 11. These shoes look just like the picture. Perfect with jeans or workout pants. Great for post-workout because they are so light weight. Love them!

Nice shoes, very light and easy to wear. They do have ventilation at the front top, so don't get caught in the rain with them!

Awesome and stylish, true to size. I don't run in them, though, just work out. I have very high arches which is why I bought running shoes, though.

Bought these to work out in (crossfit). They've been awesome. Conformed to feet after one day's use and have been comfortable so far (4 weeks). I would definitely buy these again.

These are a great pair of shoes. Very clean finish, solid construction, light breathable and personally i love the style. Only warning is make sure you are getting the right size, maybe try a pair on in a showroom before ordering.

These may just be the perfect all purpose sneaker. They are lightweight, comfortable, and seem quite sturdy. They're perfect for extensive walking and light exercise, but they're not a substitute for running shoes. My only complaint about these shoes is with the staggering range of color options, I had a hard time settling on just one!

These were a little bit stiff the first time I wore them. It took 2 or 3 wears until they felt comfortable. Now they are fine. The thing I like best about them is that they are low heeled and are dressier than typical sneakers. I love the way they look and I am very happy with them. However, these are not for any athletic kind of activity, in my opinion. Great for going out with jeans!
