5.0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING shoes and an even BETTER VALUE!!! Purchase them without fear!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2015
Size: 10.5Color: Ice Blue/YellowVerified Purchase
I took a chance on the Onitsuka Tigers based on previous experience with Asics shoes, and a price tag of just over $25 for the Ice Blue sneakers with yellow stripes. I am SO glad I did!

These shoes feel WONDERFUL on my feet! They fit perfectly and the color is actually a little darker than the picture, so they look better in person! They are light, have exactly the same build quality as Asics shoes I'm used to, and feature pillow soft soles that conform to your feet as you wear them. I am extremely impressed with the fit and feel of these shoes!!

The shoes themselves differ a little from what I'm used to. The arch support is not as pronounced as others I've worn, but this has not been an issue that takes away from the overall comfort of the Tigers. The tongue and entry for the foot are less padded than my other athletic shoes, but again, this does not adversely affect how they feel on my feet. Think of it this way, these are shoes primarily for a Japanese market and as such, they have a slightly different construction.

Buy these Onitsukas with confidence! They not only fit perfectly to size, they are also shipped VERY quickly! A great product and a great seller!!

You will NEVER regret slapping these kicks on your feet!

Light, comfortable, no weird pressure or friction points, wide enough for my standard wide feet, but just a tad narrow in the forefoot for my duck shaped foot. Color is ok-would like to see this exact shoe in a few more color options, especially with non-white outsoles.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this. Onitsuka are always fashionable

I love this. Onitsuka are always fashionable, but tend to run narrower that I would like for my feet. Not these, they are comfortable AF. Very breathable shell put these feet at ease. Light weight; able to jump all the slow commuter's in the NYC city subway, no problem. And we are talking E train grade slow commuters littering every which way between you and being late to work again. WARNING: Not actual athletic shoes. Tested strictly while looking fly and commuting.

Honestly, I will buy this again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fashion shoes that didn't skimp on comfort
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015

While these may be fashion shoes, Ascis didn't skimp on the comfort.

These shoes have very little arch support (but I like this, since my feet have nearly no arch).
The sole is very soft and almost spongy, it's like walking on memory foam. It's pretty amazing for a pair of fashion sneakers. On the first day I ended up using them for more than 15,000 steps at work and didn't find them uncomfortable whatsoever. I normally use a pair of Mizuno Waverunner 16 at work and those have a lot of support and really generous thick soles.
The toe area might be somewhat small, but it stretches enough that it's a snug fit and doesn't bother me at all.

Love this shoe. Especially for the price. One size bigger than in usually wear was actually about 15$ cheaper and they still fit well. Shipped fast also. They do get dirty really quickly but I've washed them and they have held up so far. They aren't running shoes at all. The sole is thin and not very supportive but I love them. I'll buy another pair when these wear out!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Loud, Good Fit
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2014

These shoes fit well and are comfortable. These are fashion shoes, however, so don't expect to run miles in these.

Compared to the images on the product page, the red color is much more bright and loud. I would have preferred it a touch more muted, but hey it is a fashion shoe after all.

If you know the red won't be a problem with your outfits, this pair of shoes could be it for you -- especially at ~$25 (11/19/14).
