I loved these shoes! I wasn't sure at first, but they are so comfortable. I wore them when I was backpacking in Europe for a couple weeks and they were great and I've gotten a lot of compliments.

To say we were happy with Zappos' service would be a huge understatement. We ordered shoes at about 6pm December 23 and they arrived the afternoon of December 24! I had planned to give my son a photo of the shoes on Christmas day and was delighted to have the shoes for him. These shoes could not be found anywhere and Zappos had them in multiple color choices. Amazing! Thanks Zappos!

I love these shoes. This pair is my third one (variety of colors is fantastic). I also bought a pair for my 13 year old son and for my 77 year old mother - they both also wear them all the time. Somehow, this 1981 version of a jogging shoe offers enough support and comfort to wear all day. I think that they are also a stylish version of an athletic shoe that works with my edgier style.

Awesome shoes, great product. The shoes came quickly and I had them on the same day. No need to break them in, they were ready to wear and extremely comfortable. I like them so much, I bought two more pair!

These are super comfortable (taking into consideration that they are not designed to have a lot of cushioning) and fit me true to size. I've been very happy with them!

I'd say they feel maybe a quarter size too big. These shoes fit perfect, I ordered the same size I wear in all my other Asics. I won't be running a marathon in these but they are pretty comfortable.

The service provided by Zappos.com was one of the best I encountered in a very long time. I am for sure will make my future purchases on this site. I will highly recommend this site. I like the fact that they no charge you for returning the merchandise, the best business decision in this economic hard times!

A great casual shoe. It's comfortable right out of the box. Felt a half size larger. All in all, a great shoe for the money.

Great shoe! Fashionable, light weight. Sizes ran a little larger than I expected. I normally wear a 9 mens and had to exchange for an 8.5 mens because my heel kept falling out of the shoe. Highly recommend!

Christmas gift for my husband. He LOVES them. Says the sizing is spot-on and they are a very comfortable shoe. They certainly look great! He gets compliments on them from everyone, even the owner of this little sushi place we go to. I might have to but him another pair!

True to size, stylish, not bulky and decent for long walks. These are my husband's fav. He has them in many colors. I would get them too if I didn't feel silly to have same exact style shoes. Oh well, he can enjoy.

I purchased these in 8 1/2, based on the fact that my New Balance 574 in 8 1/2 fits me perfectly. Unfortunately, they were too big and I had to return them and purchase them in 8.

These sneakers are awesome. I am a fan of the Tigers, and actually own them in a bunch of different colors.

I bought these sneakers for my brother. He especially wanted navy/white ones, which do look navy on the brand's website, but look more like black on Zappos. So I called Zappos to check if they indeed have a pair of navy/white Onitsuka Tigers, and they assured me they did. When the sneakers arrive, they were surely black.
In summary, the navy/white sneakers they have on here look black in person. Other than that, my brother loved the fit and style.

A very comfortable, low-profile shoe. I would have preferred more arch support, but I have high arches so I'm used to it. They included a second set of laces in a different color, which I actually found looked better than the ones pictured. Haven't used them in wet weather, so I can't comment on how they hold up in it.

These shoes are amazing! Compared to other shoes I've purchased, these are the most comfortable by far. I can walk in these all day; they are light and very comfortable! Would definitely recommend!

Just got these in the mail and they are very cute - but way too big!
I went by what the majority of the people were saying - that you should go a half size bigger - but in my case they were just too large.
I am sending them back and will reorder my regular size. Hopefully they will still be available once I get refunded the credit.

I love Onitsuka Tigers in general. I've been lusting after these shoes for 6 months and figured, "why not." I love them but these shoes will not hold up well in wet weather, so proceed with caution. Otherwise, I love.

This is my second pair of Tigers in the past three years and I love them. They're super-comfortable, look great and lightweight. They take a couple days to really break in.

This is a good shoe if you don't want all the bulk. I ordered the black with white stripes which ended up being off-white and not too distracting. I'm returning them because the arch support is too strong for me, although, if this is something you desire, it could be perfect for you.
