This shoe was true to size and fit better than any of the other sneakers I have tried on recently. I love that they came with an alternate set of laces (in this case one white and one orange) to jazz them up. As far as I can tell, they are well made and have been comfortable so far. I ordered some Converse and New Balance around the same time and these are my favorites.

Even better in person. I just received my pair today in Snake Black/Gold. They look better than I thought! I am so excited. Just tried them on, and they feel great. They have good support and fit true to size.

I\'ve been wearing these daily for about a month now and they look and feel good. Too early to say how they\'ll hold up, but so far so good.

Great looking shoes at a good price. They are not comfortable as a more expensive pair of Nikes, but are comfortable enough for lounging around and walking. Nice.

I have owned several pairs of Tigers. These are great all-round sneakers. I love the driving sole heels, which keep the heels comfortable and clean when used for driving shoes. Very lightweight, easy to run in, and inexpensive, so you don't feel bad trashing them.

Zappos never ceases to amaze me. I order my shoes after the 1pm cut-off for shipping same day, and not only do they still get it out the same day, but they upgraded my shipping to overnight for free! I\'ve never experienced better service from any other company.

My favorite pair of walking shoes at the moment. Very well constructed and they feel good plus look good. I love keeping my shoes clean, so the only problem is the white part of the sole that easily stands out to me when dirty. Regardless, they are a great pair of walk around shoes!

Straight out of the box these shoes fit like a glove and are true to size. Having flat feet, it\'s quite rare for me to find a shoe that feels this good. I took them right out of the box and took over an hour walk without any rubbing or pain in my feet. These shoes are stable, comfortable and look great.

Wanted a comfortable shoe to wear with jeans and these are great. Comfortable but do not match the comfort of a sneaker. No break in time was needed.

I love these shoes! They appear to show a little wear sooner than I expected. But, then again, I wear them all the time.

I really love these shoes. I have them in the Grey/KW-Storm and all black. I get comments on them all the time. They are really comfortable and light and I love the design.

Love these shoes. I have kind of wide feet so a lot of these retro-style running shoes don't fit well because they're so skinny. These fit great; they also have lots of mesh so they breathe really well. I ordered 2 more pairs after the first pair came because they're so much more comfortable (and better-looking) than anything else I've found in stores.

I like the style, but no removable insole and no arch support. Maybe get the next 1/2 or full size up if you need to insert an insole.

My third pair of Asics Onitsuka Tigers from Zappos! If you are looking for a shoe that looks great and is comfortable for walking around, these are perfect. They don't provide much support, but they are still comfortable and lightweight and the come in many colors.

Free shipping both ways! The first pair I ordered was too small so I shipped them back. When they sent me the next pair they gave me a free upgrade to next day air and I got my shoes in no time! That was very cool of them and it didn't cost me a dime. Zappos is great!

Sleek and comfortable, although not an extremely supportive shoe. It\\\'s been a while since I bought a sneaker and I love the light weight feel of these shoes.

Great shoe for what it is. Not the latest running tech by any means but for casual wear you can\'t beat it. Got the blue/orange combo which is a bit extreme but they get a lot of attention and compliments.

I bought these shoes for my son and I had to return because they were the wrong color. I called and received the best customer service the next day I received the right color shoes. My son loves them. He says they are very comfortable and 'cool' looking.

Love these shoes! (I'm wearing them now.) Very stylish and comfy. These are my third pair of Tigers; I love that there are so many fun colors to choose from. I always get compliments no matter which pair I wear. A big thanks to Zappos.com for being such a wonderful company. I have always had great experiences working with them and will continue to be a customer in the future.

Sweet Asics Onitsuka Tigers in Snakeskin, can't beat that with a wiffle ball bat. Great for wider feet. Roomy toe box. If you're used to buying shoes slightly larger for a roomier fit, try going for your true shoe size. Great style from Asics!

I bought the blue/mandarin variation. Let me tell you, they are real attention grabbers! My coworkers already compliment me many times for them. Just great! Arch support is minimal. But it's really a non-issue.

Loved these shoes. I think a lot of people get these shoes as just walking/day shoes. However, I have started using these as my primary running shoe for marathon training. I've been one of those folks who is starting to embrace the less on your feet is more (barefoot running, vibram five-fingers, etc.) philosophy. But I found that I couldn't really swing running 15-20 miles barefoot in the city. These were a perfect running shoe for anyone who is looking for an extremely lightweight shoe with very little heel padding, but still extremely comfortable. I've been able to crank out 20 mile runs in these and my feet have felt great and I have been able to more consistently avoid heel strike running (as you do barefoot). Love them.

I have the black/steel grey and they look great. I don\'t do any running or play sports in them so I can\'t comment about that but they are comfortable for casual wear. They are very lightweight too. I think the arch support could have been better though.
