Great looking shoe and very comfy. The Eighty-Five is more substantial that the base shoe with great support while still remaining compact. For me it strikes the perfect balance between the less supportive 81 and the super comfy (but more bulky) GEL-Lyte. I've had a pair of all three.

This is my first pair of Asics Colorado Eight-five. I have a few pairs of Ultimate 81 and love them! I like the black/black color and really love the comfort and extra cushion! These are a little more bulky than Ultimate 81 but the extra cushion is great! The only downside is that the black/black color does not have mesh for air ventilation and cooling effect.

My immediate assessment (wearing them for only a couple days) is they feel more like $60 shoes than this price, but I love the look. The fit is good, arch support good, not great. And I'm vain enough to pay the extra money for style alone.

I really like how Onitsuka has the 12.5 sizing, which I believe is my most accurate size (sometimes I wear 12s, sometimes 13s). I went with a 13 in the Colorado 85 because Zappos was out of the 12.5. No regrets on the sizing. The shoe fits well and feels firm. Somehow, the actual shoe seems narrower than they looked in the pictures... this is not a problem fit-wise, but rather just an observation about the style. I got these for traveling... stylish enough to wear out to dinner, but also can be your impromptu gym shoe if necessary. Very happy with this purchase.

One of the absolute best pairs of shoes I’ve ever had. Comfortable, durable, colorfast, reliable, and versatile. Wish I would’ve bought 5 more pairs before they stopped being available. If anyone from Onitsuka is reading this, please bring these back!

I have been wearing these shoes for a week straight after spraining my ankle and they're super comfortable with good support. Stylish but not too crazy.

I love this brand, love the look. These felt like they added a bit more height to me than other styles from the same brand which are usually more low profile with a bit less arch support but I find that they are very comfortable. They are pretty true to color, think UNC color theme.

Cute, retro-looking, and comfy shoes. I ordered the white/mallard blue color, and the shoes in person match the look online. I compared these to Saucony Original Jazz Low Pro and found that these have better arch support.

I ordered these, the 66s and the 78s. These had much more support and cushioning than the other two styles. Comfortable right out of the box, with only a little stiffness around the ankle that loosened up quickly. Immediately wore them every day for a week on vacation and they performed very well. Highly recommend.

I'm very impressed with these shoes. Typically photos are more complimentary than the true life item, but I can say assuredly that the photos only do them half justice. These are classic shoes for casual wear. Modern tennis shoe company's could learn a lesson from this classic style (which is more art and function in a simple presentation, than the current gaudy fashions of Nike and Reebok). If you are considering the purchase, I would recommend it.

They are extremely comfortable, better than many of the New Balance Classics and the Saucony Jazz Low Pro that I have owned. I tend to walk a lot on my commute to work so the comfort is noticeably to me. The only reservation I have is whether the Indigo Blue/White will hold up to the elements in NYC; since it is made of fabric, maybe they will wash easily.

I spent so much money in the past trying other brands for working out and walking. I bought these just for casual Friday and more everyday wear. Was going to do a 5k with a more expensive brand only to realize they were hurting my legs. So last minute I wore these instead and had zero pain. Of course I use extra insoles for comfort but I am officially in love with these shoes. I hope they never stop making them because I plan to wear them forever!

I bought these specifically because I love the Onitsuka Tiger brand. These have a very unique look and were exactly what I expected. Could be a little bit more comfortable to wear, but they aren't a negative in that category.

Very comfortable and stylish shoes. The white will likely get dirty over time but I've already received so many compliments at how cool these shoes are. I'm very happy with my purchase.

These shoes look best with tapered jeans. They're great for all terrain. I wear these to work (in a classroom) and I can tromp all over the counters and desks when need be, and I can also wear them when I go camping or out to clubs or whatnot. The look is something you're not going to find very often. They're unique as heck, and the shoelaces look really cool if you change them out for different colors. I'm very fond of these.

A great shoe. They've lasted me through snow, dirt, rain and camping. I can't really complain at all about these, even though they're quite white and I tromp through a lot of stuff. I'm also a fan of skinny jeans, so the stripes are very visible which I like.

Bought these for my sister and they are beautiful! She hasn't worn them yet, but she's always worn Onitsuka Tigers so I'm sure they'll be comfortable. Love this colorway!

These are great. I love the old school looks of them and they are incredibly comfortable. I love running shoes for their comfort in city commute, but it's usually hard to find a pair that still look casual enough to wear with most outfits, so I always end up with a neutral pair of vans. I highly recommend these. They are now one of my favorite pairs of shoes.

This shoe is very comfortable to walk in. I used them to walk around a theme park when I first got them and they were great. I love the style and color and were exactly how they appeared online. I actually ended up buyimg another pair in another color because I love them so much!

This sneaker is perfect! I'm usually wary of unisex shoes since they are often wider than women's but these fit snug. Very comfortable and I love the color combo. New favorite brand!
