Customer Reviews ASICS Budokan™

I've had three of these exact color. Love them! Really comfortable.

These should be a basic style in their selection - Love this shoe. Would want it to come in a few more colors. If I had the money I would have bought 2 or 3 of the grey. They are a style I think I can wear for a long time.

These shoes are great - They fit my normal size 12 foot right out of the box...I had worries about making my first shoe purchase online and returning, but these shoes fit and looked great, no need to return. Zappos was really fast in shipping them.

This is a modern edition of a classic Asics shoe. The leather upper is resilient. The sole has a pleasing low profile. A nice casual shoe.

Just what I needed! ZAPPOS ROCKS!!! I tried and returned SEVEN pair of shoes before I found these. Zappos never even questioned. As soon as they received the return (free shipping both ways) they refunded my account. I love the Tigers, and these Asics match the look and feel that I need. I am a band director, so I need a casual work shoe with the comfort of a sneaker. These shoes are great for marching, btw.

Great shoes, insane shipping time. Thanks. These shoes are really light and look great with jeans. My feet have not gotten sore walking yet.

Very good - Not enough support for me...but this is definitely outweighed by how good this shoe looks...it's really good for just walking around, not so much for running or anything athletic.

Considering I would rather wear flip flops all year long, this shoe is a great replacement. Lightweight and looks great with jeans or khakis. I am definitely interested in buying other colors.

Great Overall Shoe - I would give this shoe some pros and cons to be fair, but I love it overall. The pros are comfort, style, and quality. As some others have said, it fits like a glove and looks great. The cons are a minor lack of lateral support and they don't breathe well. As you may see from the photos, the sole is fairly narrow so it would be easy to twist your foot were you to buy these for sporting activities. I don't believe the shoe is designed for that so I would stick to casual wear/walking. As always, I can't say enough about Zappos; absolutely fantastic pricing, shipping, and customer service.

My teenage son loves these shoes and your selections! I ordered these shoes for my teenage son; who loves them. He said they feel very comfortable and look great. All his friends ask about them and we tell everyone that we got them at Zappos.com.

Great Shoes, Great Service! Picked up the off-white/brown shoes (partially because I liked how the stripes on the side were a different material from all the other models) and they're as good as they look on the site. They fit really well and are very comfortable for being brand-new. It's also my first time ordering from Zappos and I am extremely impressed. Delivery was as fast as I expected from reading all the testimonials: I ordered Sunday late evening and received the package by Tuesday afternoon. Both the shoes and Zappos get my recommendation!

Bought them for drumming but they're great for everything - I was looking for a pair of comfortable and stylish shoes to drum in with a thin sole. I typically play bare foot but I needed a pair for gigs. These are stylish, comfortable, and great for drumming, walking, and go with just about everything. I LOVE these shoes. I think the only thing I love more than the shoes themselves is Zappos.com. Overnight shipping is amazing. They took less than 24 hours to reach my doorstep. Unbelievable service. I'll never buy shoes from anywhere else.

Best shoe ever! First off, the shoes came in 1 day- how all the way from KY I don't know, but the delivery is superb. Not only that, but the shoes fit like a glove. I was shocked at how well they felt straight out of the box! They are the most comfortable and stylin' shoe I have ever had. I have nothing but good to say about Zappos; their free overnight shipping and selection are second to none. I will never buy shoes from another online source again! -Thanks ZAPPOS.

Excellent all the way around! I can't say enough about Zappos. I ordered these shoes from Zappos and they were on my doorstep 24 hrs. later. Zappos service is the BEST in the industry and their prices are unbeatable. My new Asics (this is my third pair) are very comfortable, fit well, are stylish and good looking, and are a great value. I'm buying this shoe in another color!

Great shoe- in looks, comfort and everything else! The only down side is that the laces won't stay tied.

Best Casual Shoes Ever - Excellent value, very sporty shoe, lightweight, and extremely comfortable.

ASICS Budokan - At first I thought I wouldn't be able to fit in these seeing as how they look pretty narrow. Although after putting it on, I was pleasantly surprised that my feet did in fact fit. I even managed to get my orthotic (I suffer from foot drop) in there. Overall great looking shoe, and as always Zappos service can't be beat. Got these the very next day after placing my order!

I've owned Asics before, but this was the first of this style. Really like the look. Very comfortable, although if socks aren't tall enough the back of the shoe rubs on my skin and is a little uncomfortable. I imagine that will go away once they are broken in a bit more.

Awesome shoes! I got these for Krav Maga, and they're great training shoes. I ordered them 1/2 size down so they'd be nice and snug, and they've broken in nicely. Very low profile sole makes for good stability and balance, and the flexibility makes them versatile enough for everything from stretching to heavy bag work and ground fighting. Not to mention they look GREAT. If I didn't want to keep them clean for the mats, I'd wear them everywhere!

Shoes - I saw these shoes in the store, they caught my eye. I am usually used to wearing skateboarding shoes like Ipath or Emerica, so this was a change for me. I was pleasantly surprised and now I may be a convert. They feel like wearing the closest thing to no shoes that a shoe can feel. It is nice, I feel better connected to the ground under me and more natural. They were a half size bigger than skate-style shoes.

Great shoes - This is the second pair of Asics for my son. He likes the fit as well as the style. I knew he would be as happy with his as I have always been with my own.

Great shoe! These shoes are awesome! I’ve had many compliments on these shoes and they look good too. They are super light weight and very comfortable!

These shoes are great. They're comfortable and they look awesome. If you have wide feet like I do, chill. They stretch out if you wear them for a week, so they'll accommodate your feet. Requires no break in time. Zappos’ customer service couldn't have been better.

Very stylish kick - The back of the shoe rubbed my skin causing slight discomfort when wearing very low socks during first few days of use. Eventually the rear got softer and it is not a problem anymore. I got the birch brown/orange version and am very pleased overall with my purchase. Customer support couldn’t be better as well.

Pretty good shoe for "kicking it"- Nice shoe. I had some Adidas martial arts shoes before this and these are a little more comfortable. I wish more color combinations were available (I went with black on white) but still a good shoe.
