Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten™

These are very stylish shoes. I have gotten several compliments since I started wearing mine. The material is a little stiff at first and takes some breaking in, but it will happen. Same with the cushioning. It will take a little while to conform to your foot, but it becomes very comfortable. I have higher than average arches, and even though the shoes are naturally fairly flat, the padding has conformed to the shape of my foot. These shoes do run half a size large. They also have a wider toebox than other Onitsuka Tiger shoes. I normally wear a 9½, and that was decidedly too big for me in these shoes. A 9 fits me much better. I do not know why the sizing seems different from other Onitsuka Tigers, but it definitely is. I strongly encourage you to order half a size down on these ones. Anyway, great product. They really do look great.

I picked up a pair of these recently and am very pleased so far. They seem to be the perfect union of form and function. The styling is controlled yet has just enough pop to it so that the show isn't boring. For example, I love how the sides of the sole wrap up over the upper of the shoe. Functionality wise, they have great grip and are very comfortable on my feet even after wearing them all day. Quality wise the soles seem well built and are attached to the shoe very strongly. The felt toe is a nice design touch and seems to be rather durable. The leather is tough but seems a bit stiff. Hopefully it loosens up a bit so that the leather doesn't tear at the corners of the shoe. I ordered a 12½ and it feels just about a quarter size bigger than I expected. The width is good but again is just a hair too big, though not enough to warrant going down to 12. I chose these over another pair of Sambas, and I cannot adequately describe how excellent of a decision that was.

The quality and style of these shoes is awesome, they look and feel great... EXCEPT for the tongue. It's so weird, like they just ran out of material or something while they were making the shoes. The whole tongue is literally a piece of red cloth sewn to a thin slice of batting. There are no seams and it's not closed, you can actually see the cloth sewn onto the batting like looking at the side of a sandwich. It's so strange, it makes no sense. I really expected better from Onitsuka.

Cool looking shoes. Less support than other Asics Onitsukas. Great construction, comfortable; overall everything you'd expect from Onitsuka Tiger, just less support.

Inside, the support construction is basically flat -like Vans. So expect no arch support. Also, like Vans, there is very little midsole cushioning -I was hoping it had a little more like my two other Onitsuka's. I always wear size 11 and I tried buying these in size 11. The shoe size does run about a half-inch large, but toe box becomes pointy and because there's good padding around the ankle, the shoe does stay in place. The rubber material used for the brownish, old school soles are grippy and the treads have good traction. I always appreciate Onitsuka's small effort in sending their shoes out with shoe laces in place. I feel like shoe companies that don't pre-tie their shoes are just cost-cutting too much which makes them look like they're cheap. So thanks for the nice touch Onitsuka!

These shoes are made for soccer/futsal, and their feel is true to that expectation. It's a minimalist shoe, flat soles, not a whole lot of arch support, but comfortable. Upon wearing them for a few days, they broke in and were very comfortable. I bought them for fashion purposes, with a possibility of using them for indoor soccer in the future. I have wide feed, usually E or EE. These were definitely wide enough.

The shoes felt half size large. I suggest to go half size down when you order.

I love these sneakers! I needed some arch support and a little extra width because I have pinched nerves in my feet and these shoes are very comfortable! Recommend them to anyone who has difficulty finding good casual sneakers.

The shoes looked great and are comfortable. Ordered my regular size and they fit perfectly. If it helps, I consider myself having wide feet and they fit like a glove.

It's a fun shoe with great heel support but these shoes feel enormous. Definitely order a half size down.

The only thing I think worth mentioning about this shoe is that the tongue is thinner than on my previous pair of Onitsuka Serranos. Apart from that, these shoes fit great. I normally wear a 10.5 and was wary from the other reviews that by ordering a 10.5 I would be getting too large a shoe. I don't feel that's the case, so it seems your mileage may vary. These shoes are comfortable, look great, and grip well.

I love the style of these shoes. Great for running errands or casual walks. My only complaint is there slightly narrow in the heel.

I've been wearing Adidas Sambas and Gazelles since I've been young. I've always had a pair of fresh Sambas ready to go and thought that nothing could compare to them. Last week I was in a store and saw these, they were marked down and the last pair were in my size. I tried them on and haven't worn any other shoe since then. Fit is perfect, and cushioned enough for me. I can't believe that Sambas now have some real competition. If you're a fan of vintage style shoes and don't get down with spaceman looking bubble Nikes, then I'm telling you to try these.

This shoe is pretty rad. Goes great with jeans and I feel cool wearing them. They broke in really fast and are overall a nice comfy shoe. I was originally looking for another pair of Sambas, but was disappointed that there were no more cool colors to choose from, so I opted for this...glad I did! I really like it and am not disappointed at all!

Love these shoes, I wore my last pair every day for 4 years before they blew out. Bought the same pair and very happy. I usually wear a 12 and have wide feet, and I wear a 13 that fits perfectly in both this brand, and toms, so a size up might help.

Great shoes, great fit. Comfortable out of the box, not too loose, not too tight. Only complaint is that they make my feet smell, something that my other shoes do not.

Great styling and great construction make this an excellent shoe for everyday. The wear on the sole is minimal and the upper leather holds up really well. Plus it has the trademark comfort from all Asics shoes.

This is nice simple sneaker with classic looks. By 'classic looks' I basically mean it looks like the legendary Samba-- but the Asics stripes make all the difference. Not quite as 'robust' as Sambas as it has a cloth tongue, but I love this sneaker.

I've had many different pairs of Onitsuka's over the years and this one does not disappoint - great style, very comfortable, reasonably durable, and reasonably priced.

Great shoes. Look beautiful. Accidentally got a pair 1/2 size too big and I wore them once! Now I have a pair of shoes that I need to give away but they are lovely. Zappos is great!

I was a bit wary about ordering these shoes because of their bright color, but they are so worth it. The blue can brighten any outfit, and I've received more compliments for these shoes than I can count. They're extremely comfortable, so perfect for long walks - and you look really nice while doing so.

These shoes are just perfect. They have both good looks and are super comfortable. Love my new Tigers. Thank you for the overnight delivery Zappos! It pays to be a VIP at Zappos!

Have had these for two months. A little stiff at first, but now that they are broken in (3 to 4 wears) these shoes are awesome. My new favorites. The tongue on the shoe is not leather, but rather just a piece of foam-like fabric. The construction is a little on the cheap side. These are perfect for walking around my urban setting a la beating around on weekends. I bought the orange, and they look true to the picture on the website.

Love these shoes. They're just as beautiful in person, maybe moreso. After maybe two or three days of wearing them in, super comfortable (just a little stiff in the beginning). Can't go wrong with a pair of Tigers.

I love these shoes. I ordered a 10, which is what I typically wear in regular shoes, and these feel great. Love the style. I really hope these shoes become a staple release as I would love to buy them in different colors.
