I love these shoes! They are really comfortable and have just the right amount of arch support. Great for walking around town, work, etc. My feet tend to be a bit wide for a lot of brands, but the unisex fit of these shoes mean they’re perfect. Love the wide range of color selection, too. I would definitely recommend these to friends!

Shipping from Zappos remains as timely as ever and I got the Onitsuka Tigers a day and a half after I ordered them. The fit was perfect, even though I have pretty wide feet for my size and despite looking narrow, the shoe was never a problem width-wise. However, they took a while to break in and I got blisters for a while behind my heel. After a week, it never became a problem again. The shoes look great and I get people asking about them a lot, though that may be because I never string the same colored-laces on both shoes. Overall, I love the way these look and feel.

These Asics Ultimate 81’s have to be one of the most comfortable shoes around PERIOD. From someone who knows a little bit about the shoe game you can’t go wrong buying these. The shoes are made from a mesh like material which keeps them very light weight. They breathe and circulate air great, definitely a great shoe for summertime. The design is fresh and different from anything anybody else is wearing and for the price, you can’t wrong. Overall this is a great add to throw into your Jordan rotation to switch it up, casual shoe buyers will love ‘em, too.

Wow! These shoes fit like a glove and are so comfortable that I could forget to take them off. I was hesitant to try them as I have an extreme pronation, but they give enough support. They are also great for my Chi Gong classes.

I definitely dig these shoes! More comfortable than skate shoes and very light weight. I have wide feet and was happy with the width right out of the box. Normally wear size 10, feel like maybe I should have ordered 9.5, but was fixed by adding a Superfeet insole.

I love my Onitsuka Tigers. I was looking for a new pair of shoes and came across these. They were the right style for what I wanted, and got good reviews. After wearing them for about two months I can still highly recommend them. They look great, and fit very well. I can't wear them for walking long distances, but for my everyday job (which involves a lot of standing), they work out great.

Wanted to go for some "cooler" fun athletic and stylish shoes and the Onitsuka Tigers do not disappoint. I vary in size, but usually go for a 10 and I think the fit is great. The shoe itself is very comfortable and I have to disagree with the review saying it’s not really black. Most of the shoe has a plastic type feel to it with a certain shine, but the grey stripes are matte. Love the shoes and the comfort and look they provide.

My son uses these for fencing and absolutely loves them! His foot is slightly wide (but not wide enough for a larger width) and these fit him comfortably. We have been purchasing this shoe for him to fence in for 4 years from a size 9 to a size 13 and they have always been true to size.

These are super comfortable shoes. Maybe not the warmest in winter, but they definitely beat out my Chucks they replaced. Plus these are just cool shoes.

Before this purchase, I had already owned several pair of Onitsuka Tigers. One pair is nearly identical to this pair however a different color. Basically I knew the quality and comfort I was ordering, as well as working with the awesome customer service of Zappos removed any online purchasing doubt. PROs: Being raised in Louisiana I've always been a huge New Orleans Saints fan, and wanted a pair of shoes that had black/gold in them to flaunt my Who Dat pride. These shoes are perfect for game day. They match my Saints jerseys without question, and the compliments I've received on them are never ending. To top it off they're very comfortable and durable. I had a few reservations on the "snake skin" print before purchasing, however it's not as gaudy as appeared online or when worn with a pair of blue jeans. CONs: Only one negative I have is that they are not very warm shoes for the midwest weather. Any slight breeze seems to go right around your toes, so thick socks are a must in colder climates with these kicks.

Let me start of by saying that I love Zappos. Okay, moving on. The Onitsuka Tiger sneakers are the best. They are comfortable and come in an amazing array of colors, which I love. I currently own about a dozen or so pairs and I am waiting for new color combinations to arrive. If anybody is on the fence about purchasing these sneakers, jump off and start ordering. Zappos has THE BEST delivery options out there. What are you waiting for? Order these sneakers!

There are a lot of brands to choose from, but I am obsessed with Onitsuka Tigers by Asics.

Good and bright red. Needs a day or two of breaking in, but comfortable with a nice toe box and placement of arch support.

Love the style -
I love the style and colors of this shoe and have received many compliments on them. (I got the Zappos exclusive Snake/Black Gold). They're not the most cushioned shoe, and I wish there was more arch support, but they're comfortable enough for a normal day out. Other reviewers have noted that the shoe felt small, but I ordered my normal size and it fit perfectly.

The Onitsuka Tigers are great shoes. They are comfortable and durable... and they are cool looking! I sometimes wear 9 1/2 and sometimes size 10, depending on the shoe, but I got size 10 in these.

I love these shoes. I bought my first pair in a color pattern that is no longer available and they are fantastically comfortable. I really like the navy color combo; it looks just as good in real life as in the photos. I have a high arch and a narrow heel- these have great arch support. They used to run a bit big, now they fit perfectly to size.

I love love love these shoes. They are really comfortable and they just look sooo cool. I have a pair from a few years ago that I basically wore out, and when I saw these on Zappos I knew I had to have them. They are the perfect sneaker, because not only do they feel good, but they are super stylish. Highly recommend.

This is the second pair of Onitsuka Tigers that I have owned and I absolutely love them. They are very comfortable and durable and make my feet look quite a bit smaller. The black/steel grey colors look great and go with nearly every casual outfit I own. I will probably be ordering more pairs in different colors soon!

The ordering process was quick and easy. My son-in-law asked for Tiger Sneakers for Christmas in a bright color. I had many colors to chose from, I selected colors correlated to his native Peru. Unplanned was the sale price. They arrived promptly within a few days and he was delighted with my selection. Will definitely use this company in the future.

I ordered these shoes for my husband during the Christmas holidays. I was so impressed with the speedy delivery of my order that I order a pair of Asics running shoes for myself. The shoes were just as shown in the picture. My husband loved them! They are very comfortable and stylist. I highly recommend ordering from Zappos.

I love these shoes. So comfortable. These are a very dark blue. I usually wear a 5.5, but that was just a smidge too small, so I ordered a 6 and they fit perfect! I will say that they are not shoes for cold weather as the top of the shoe is made of material, and cold seeps through pretty easily. The colors are bold and striking. I really would like to order another pair in some other color scheme as well. They are fun, good quality, comfortable, and not too bulky. Perfect!
