Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Runspark™

Exactly what I was looking for - These shoes definitely run a half size large. I "always" wear a 6 1/2 and I didn't listen to the reviewers (not all of them said the shoe ran large) and ended up having to exchange the shoes for a 6, which actually fit me exactly like a 6 1/2 usually fits me.

These shoes are very comfortable for everyday casual wear. If you are just kicking it around town and want shoes with a nice look and cozy fit, you can't go wrong with these. Also, Zappos delivered these surprisingly fast.

It took me about 11 tries (I lost track after awhile) to finally find the sneaker I loved that didn't hurt! I have a problem bone on one foot that's extremely sensitive to any pressure, (too many years of too many high heels...girls, beware!). I finally had the shoemaker stretch the trouble spot and now these Tigers feel great and look sleek and terrific! Lots of compliments...am ordering in other color ways. The big thing that made this quest possible was how easy ordering and returning to Zappos is. I may have lost patience, but Zappos never did! And the speed, did I mention the speed and ease of the whole shipping process? Sometimes it felt faster than actually being in a shoe store and waiting for them to find the item! So I'm a definite fan...next on my agenda is boots...uh oh!

I love them! They are true to size, very comfy and being a University of Michigan fan - the perfect colors!

I love these sleek little babies. My twin and I have them and we look ridiculously cool wearing them together. The only down side is the peely bottom rubbery sole. Bummer, but I still wear them occasionally when I want to be bold.

Amazing shoes - These have to be some of the best shoes I have ever bought. They are stylish, comfortable; I get tons of compliments from random people on them. Also, I was surprised how quickly Zappos sent me them. I ordered at 11PM Tuesday night, and got them sometime in the morning on Thursday! I would definitely buy from this store again. Only thing about the shoes is that the ARE a half size too big. So order a half size smaller than you usually do.

Old Times - I have owned 9 pairs of Onitsuka over the last 4 or 5 years, and have loved them all. This pair of Runsparks (in royal blue) is pretty much dead ringers for the Onitsukas that our high school cross country team wore in 76-79. Very nice.

Vintage can't get any better - Devoid of bells and whistles, this shoe is not only incredibly nice looking but super comfortable. Its beauty lies in its simple but functional design, built with top quality materials. The fit is snug and the cushioning is minimal as is the case with most racing flats. If you are rather heavy don't wear these shoes for a day at the amusement park; a sturdier running shoe should be a better choice. By the way, I suggest cycling as an alternative use for these eye-catching shoes. The Runspark is a true classic on its own!

Awesome shoes - I have gotten several compliments on my shoes. They feel great. I do agree with many of the reviewers the shoe feels a half size larger then marked. I normally wear 10.5 and I ordered 10. It still fits me relatively loose compared to my other shoes.

Great shoe, very comfortable and soft on the feet. Couldn't ask for much more out of a shoe.

Blast From The Past - When I happened to see these new colour Runsparks from Tiger Onitsuka, I simply had to have a pair. These are my 10-12th pair of these shoes and I simply love them. The shoes are so close to the Tigers that I wore in the early 70s that I had to have them in this colour scheme. I really wish that the people at Tiger would take customer input and design shoes that the customers ask for. If they would do what Nike does for their Id line of shoes, they would be the tops. The Runspark runs a half size larger than the Mexico 66, so order the next half size down from your shoe size. Very lightweight and comfortable for an all around casual shoe. SIMPLY GREAT SHOES!!!

Nice Fit - These are great, nice arch better than most. As other reviewers state, order a half size smaller.

Great shoe for everyday comfort and walking - I bought these shoes a few weeks ago, and was very impressed with the fast shipping! I purchased the Brown/Hunter in Women's 7.5/D-Medium. I thought the shoe would be too wide because I have narrow feet, but it fit true to size. From reading the other reviews here I also decided to order .5 size less from my regular running shoe (I usually wear 8 in women's). The Runspark is ideal for running, but I have mostly walked around with them. I recently took this pair with me to San Francisco and walked everywhere around with them; even chased a Muni bus, which also felt nice to run in. These shoes are pretty comfortable, and lightweight. The leather exterior is beautiful and makes these shoes durable. The tread, I think, will probably not last for more than 6 months if you are active and use these shoes everyday. I also would not recommend wearing these on slippery ground as I slipped on a metal floor around SF during a rainy day!

Onitsuka Tiger by Asics Runspark - Absolutely incredible service! My shoes arrived less than 24hours from ordering them and they are really great. Very good advice about sizing from other reviewers, based on this I ordered 1/2 size smaller and they are a perfect fit.

The Whole Package - These are my favorite Asics thus far. PLEASE NOTE: Get a FULL size smaller. Some say .5 size smaller, but only get half a size smaller if your current shoe fits VERY snug. If not, then get a full size smaller. I got mine in Light Grey+Leaf Green, I really liked those colors because they can match any outfit from jeans to khakis, while the other colors, you kinda have to be aware of what you’re going to wear. You won’t really notice the arch support as much as the tiger paw in the front of the shoe. That’s what really makes the shoe comfy. Anyhow, great shoe, do not hesitate to BUY (and I am a penny pincher)! P.S. If your shoe is larger than expected, DO NOT hesitate to return and get the right size. The process is very EASY and the return shipment is free!

Great shoes! I bought the brown and green version of this shoe, and like it a great deal. It's a comfortable fit and looks great.

Great shoe design! I purchased these and the ASICS Tai Chi at the same time, both in the same size. These feel more like a shoe than the Tai Chi and are good for a leisurely stroll through the city or around the office.

Tiger review - Very comfortable shoes. Do not look shabby. Great support. Great combination of colors and great prize.

I have had these sneakers for just about a year now. They have changed a little in the look, but I love these shoes! I still get compliments on the pair I wear since then. I wear them A LOT. I am about to re-order in a new color... colors. They are comfortable, even when I got them in my walk through Boston for 6 hours on a field trip. I was not and am still not crazy about the traction, but it looks like it has changed... They are very slippery in wet conditions. I liked the fit. I think I have a wider foot, but true to size length. I do not have a horrible time with most reg. width shoes, but they are out there. I cannot say enough good about Zappos, their business procedures, customer service, and the great shoes.

Very comfortable and stylish - It fits pretty well. Very comfortable and wearable. Wearing it now. I work in NYC so I’m always looking for comfortable yet cute looking sneakers and I’ve always found that Asics Onitsuka Tiger brand carries a lot of cute yet very comfortable walking shoes!

The Best Yet - I have probably 20 different pair of Asics Tiger shoes, and love them all, and then I ordered the Runspark to try this model out, and this is the best yet! It has the perfect arch support and just enough pads in the heel, but because of the thin front sole, still has a lot of ground feel! I can't wait til they make a model in blue!

cool shoes! I got the really cool yellow and teal tigers. Great shoe. Runs a bit narrow if you have wide feet.

Killer Sneakers! I LOVE these sneakers! I'm glad that I read the reviews first. I am a 9.5/10 and ordered the 9. They fit perfectly! Can't wait to order them in different colors!

Great shoe! It's comfy, has plenty of arch-support, but isn't too thick-soled. It runs almost a full size too large. I ordered a 9 1/2 and as a 10 or 10 ½, I still have a fair amount of room in the toe. I would suggest ordering a full size down, even if you have wide feet like me.

Great shoes! These are the best walking shoes I've owned in years. Very light, very comfortable. Great fit for a woman with large feet.
