I wanted a retro pair of sneakers that looked good with jeans and shorts. These are those sneakers. I'm very happy with their looks. The size is as others advised a bit (1/2 size) small. I wouldn't choose these to hike all over a city or actually run in them. I would choose these for an evening out or other situations where you'd want a fashionable sneaker.

First time buying this brand, I like the style and color but not as comfortable as my Sketcher though.

I love Onitsuka Tigers and basically just keep re-buying them in a new color scheme every time I wear them out. I always get the same size (men's 10) but this time they were significantly smaller feeling than last. I held them up sole-to-sole with my previous pair and they look the same length, I just think the toe is significantly more pinched on this one so my feet feel very cramped. I'm hoping my feet will just stretch them. It seems like it's slowly working.

These shoes are very stylish, IMO, but they should not be considered athletic shoes. They are very thin and light, which is nice, but they do not provide support nor protection to your sole. I wore them for a full day recently and my feet were sore by the end. Also they run very, very small. I am normally an 11.5 and I ordered 12 which are snug and I could probably go to a 12.5.

It's a very stylish, retro looking shoe. I bought it for the weight room, but the product tag says "not for high performance athletics." I ordered a pair of 10.5 Saucony as well. My toe is right on the end of the shoe, so much that it ached after 10 minutes of wearing. It definitely runs small. The only size left is an 11.5, so Im going to try those out since I do like the intense color pop of the shoe. As far as a gym shoe, IM going to keep looking. The Inov-8 brand has caught my attention.

I absolutely love these tennis shoes! They are more unstructured than a regular running shoe. I do not use them for running, just for everyday. In my job, I'm on my feet a lot and need something comfortable. These are very light-weight, so they feel like you're wearing nothing! I usually wear a size 6, but need to go up a whole size in these. I gave them 4 stars because of the sizing. I had to make a couple of returns, but Zappos is great about this whole process, AND no shipping fees which can't be beat. Don't hesitate to try these! I'd love to buy a light blue pair, and maybe a yellow/gold color. Thank you Zappos! You're the best!

I bought these in my usual size which is 9 in women's. They are a little snug at first and my toes feel a little cramped, like they are right at the end of the shoe. However, after wearing them awhile they are feeling a bit better. I still may have to exchange them out for a half size larger.

I found my pinky toes being squished on the side, but the rest of the fit was OK. Walking with these longer than a couple hours gives me shin splints.

Pros: Good price. Look great. Durable. Lightweight. Cons: Uncomfortable due to very little cushioning or support a step above a canvas shoe. They don't breath at all and get incredibly stinky very quickly!

Didn't fit like other Tigers. I should have read the reviews. Great shoe though, but it never "broke in". Toe area is too low which hurt the top of my toe, even though the length was fine. Loved the light weight and it slipped on easily. I'll have to try one on in a store to see if I need +0.5 or +1.

I have had to return two pairs of these for sizing being too small. A full size smaller than previous pairs I've owned previously. Unclear if it's this specific model that is running too small, or if the whole range from Onitsuka are now sized small, or if somehow Zappo's inventory shrinks in storage - other brand shoes I've bought here have been too small as well. It's getting frustrating.

Very weird fit, narrow at the front / toes so it's not a comfortable or well fitting shoe. I went 1 size larger to a 14 and it is still tight and uncomfortable. I love other Asics, this one is just a bad example. I can only mark that this is 1 size small, but in reality it's 1.5 or a full 2 sizes too small. It's ridiculous. I don't even have wide feet and the front is way too narrow.

I've owned 5 pairs of Tigers and all are a 9.5 so I ordered 9.5 and my toes were Jammed up in the front JAMMED how can sizing be that far off. I love Tigers but come on.

Great looking but very strange sizing. I ordered my usual Tiger size and it was short and narrow. So I ordered up. And ordered up. 9, 9.5 and 10. The first two were tight, the last one way too loose around the ankle. Love the style, but they're going back.

Not at all an athletic shoe. Very light weight, and very stiff sole with no support or cushion. Appears to be very cheaply made. Runs very small. Ordered a women's 9 which is half size bigger than usual, and it was about a half size too small.
