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.

These are very stylish and surprisingly comfortable shoes. They are reasonably priced and with free shipping? Heck, buy two pairs!

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!

got these for my husband for Christmas. He loves them. He is normally wearing running shoes and just wanted to get him something a little more sporty. He has said that they do run a little (less than a half size) big and that they don't have a ton of support. However, overall he seems to like these cool kicks. It helps that they are the New Orleans Saints colors, too!

A great shoe! This shoe fits well, is comfortable, and does make your foot look smaller. I'm thinking about buying another pair in a different color.

Bought these as a Christmas gift for my 16 year old son. He didn't ask for this specific style, just something from Asics, so I was a bit worried, but he loved them and told me he got a lot of compliments at school. Cool looking sneaker that turned out to be a big hit!

Just got these an they are great. Stylish, but not too flashy. Can wear with jeans or slacks (in a casual office). Definitely fit true to size: I'm a 6.5/7. Got the 6.5s and they're perfect.

I bought these sneakers for my boyfriend for Christmas. He loves them and wears them constantly. Make sure when you order them you order 1/2 size larger because they run small. He always wears a 10 and I had to get him a 10 1/2.

This is a very good shoe for a wide foot and appropriately sized lengthwise. Surprisingly, comfy considering that the shoe doesn't appear to contain much padding on the bottom.

My item arrived very quickly, and my girlfriend loves them since they are simple, comfortable, and were a good price. She loves them, and thought they were a good gift for Christmas.

I have 3 pairs of the Ultimate 81\'s. By far the best shoes I\'ve ever had. These are way better than the Mexico 66\'s.

Absolutely love the Ultimate 81 by Asics. Epitome of retro style and comfort. I have owned another pair for 3 years and they\'re still going strong. Extremely comfortable and with a wide range of styles available this is a shoe you could easily find yourself owning several pairs of.

These are great shoes and very stylish. I have the black/black and the gray/storm combination. They are very comfortable and great for my wide feet. I would recommend them. Zappos delivery was excellent as usual!

Let me start off by saying, the shoes are great. This is my 3rd consecutive pair of Onitsuka Tigers, and I have no plans on changing anytime soon. They are some of the lightest, most comfortable shoes I have ever had. As for my experience ordering from Zappos, I believe this is also my 3rd time, and they haven't let me down yet. The shoes were on my doorstep the day after ordering, free shipping, and complete with a second pair of shoelaces. To sum it up, I'd say: Why go anywhere else?

Amazing Zappos service, as always. Shoe is cute, nice arch support. I would not call this a heavy duty running shoe, but a nice athletic shoe.

I love my new Asics shoes! The retro look of them is very stylish and gives a nicer look to an outfit than a typical sneaker. The fit is true to size and very comfortable. I work retail and I'm on my feet for 9-11 hours a day and with my new Asics, my feet aren't tired after a long days work! They are great!

These are very comfortable and stylish shoes. I don\'t use them for any sports, just for regular wear. I ordered the black pair, which I thought had some gray in them from the picture, but they are just black and the reason they appeared to be 2-toned is that some of the black material is shiny and reflects light. This is my 3rd pair of these shoes and I really like them.

Overall, this is a good sneaker. It goes well with jeans. The only thing is the shoes run a little large. If you have not worn tigers before, I recommend getting both sizes since the sizes since the sizing runs larger than Puma and Nike.

I am very pleased with these shoes. I have a wide foot, and unlike many of the other vintage shoes currently selling from Puma, Adidas, and the like (including some of other models sold by Onitsuka Tiger) these shoes have adequate space and comfort for those with a wider foot. These shoes seem well made, offer a good sole shape, adequate arch support, are comfortable for walking, are light and breathe well, and are very stylish. I ordered the blue/silver/black ones. They look teal in the photos, but are actually a darker blue. One word of caution: These shoes seem to run a bit longer than regular modern Asics shoes. I've got a pair of Gel-Frantics that I wear in 13 with just a bit of extra space. I ordered these Ultimate 81s in 12.5 and probably could've gone down to a 12.

I love ordering shoes from Zappos. They always come early, and returns appear to be very easy (though I've never had to return anything). These shoes were a Christmas present, and they went over very well.

These shoes fit perfect. I'm sick of big puffy shoes so these are perfect. Zappos is a first class business. The only thing is I'm wondering how long these shoes will last.
