Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger by Asics Colorado Eighty-Five


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.












These shoes are a great fit and comfortable. First pair were purchased at the mall and more expensive. This is a deal and shipped right to your door.











Love these shoes. I was looking for a casual sneaker type shoe that wasn't a running shoe. I love the retro look of this style. The support is good. Shoes are comfortable for long walks. Only bummer for me Is that some of the reviews said to go a half size up because they ran small, but they are a little big now. I kept them anyway because I love them, but I'm pretty certain my actual size would had been a perfect fit. So I would say true to size. I will definitely get them again when these wear out.

Does not work with orthotics. This is a nice shoe, but be warned that it doesn't really work with orthotics. The first problem is that the insole is glued in, and it's extremely difficult to tear out. So if you intend on replacing the insoles with your own insoles or orthotics, think about getting a different shoe. Even if you manage to get the insole out (which I did, after much difficulty) it still doesn't work with orthotics because orthotics tend to lift your foot higher than regular insoles, and there isn't enough room in this shoe for that.












This is my first pair of Serrano's by Asics. I own several pairs of the Ultimate 81's and a pair of Mexico 66's by Asics, and the Serrano is my favourite of all Asics' low profile shoes. The Serrano has a cushy sole, super light weight, and flexibility unmatched. Another thing I love about the Serrano is that it's the one shoe style by Asics that doesn't make my feet feel too hot. The mesh on the sides and top is breathable and airy. All I hope for are more colors. Please don't discontinue this Asics model! I love the yellow/black and the charcoal gray. Looking into buying black/white/yellow also.














I have several pairs of Tigers (Ultimate 81, Mexico 66, etc), but I think the Serrano is my favorite. It's definitely the most comfortable. Very lightweight, comfortable shoe! I got the navy Serranos yesterday, took them out of the box this morning and wore them all day. They feel great! Like most of the other Asics Tigers, the Serrano runs a half size small, at least in woman's sizes.










Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano 20


These are the best shoes. I have always worn Asics GT's but switched to the Kayano Gel 20 this year as the 20 has the best pronation control. The color choices really need to improve, however. I bought black only because the vivid bright multi-color shoes look garish and ridiculous. I hope that Asics color choices have some normalcy next year.












I have tried both Gel-Kayano's and Gel-Nimbus by Ascic and prefer the Gel-Kayanos. They are extremely comfortable! I can't wait to put them on after a day of high heels. I walk 4-6 miles a day and even hike in them without a problem.












I do not like these. Less cushion for my feet. I miss the gel kayano 16, 17, and 18. Those were the best. I don't understand changing a good thing. If I would have known they were going to drastically change this shoe, I would have bought all I could in my size before the gel kayano 19 came out.






Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger by Asics Ult-Racer


Although my first experience with Onitsuka's Ultimate 81 left me wanting a more complete shoe (however great they looked), the Ult-Racer gives me everything in comfort I couldn't find in the other model. Granted, this is only my second pair of Onitsuka's but they've become a favorite. With minimum sole, this pair still provides the sufficient amount of support. I wear them for work and stand for up to ten hours. Holds up nicely with little fatigue. I see myself buying another pair of these Ult-Racers.













First of all, Zappos rocks! I had ordered some Adidas Classic that were nothing comfortable for me. I exchanged them for these awesome Onitsuka's thanks to the great Zappos team service, got 'em next day at my door, tried them on, Wow! Heavenly walking on clouds! Love the style, comfort and perfect support for my low arch. Break in what? This fitted perfectly, no discomfort at all. I used to wear Clarks at work but at the end of the day my feet were tired and fatigued. Now that I'm allowed to wear this, I'm in heaven all day at work. I think I will order another pair, maybe two.The only thing I would like is more variety of colors. Thanks Zappos!













Shoe was tiny bit more narrow than I expected. Returned for free and rcvd different size within days. Would def do more business with Zappos. Love Asics also!

Initially, I was pleased with these shoes: they look good and they have a bit of cushion. Yet they did not hold up to walking around London for a week - my feet hurt enough to buy insoles at the nearest drugstore. So I wouldn't recommend them if you actually walk more then a mile per day. 1 year after buying them, they haven't held up very well. The leather toe cap has started peeling away, with loose threads on the front of both shoes. Since these are mostly mesh and suede, it's difficult to get them looking new again. I don't like to write a negative review. They look great when you first get them, but they're just not made to last.











Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger by Asics Mexico Mid Runner™

Great shoes! I'm addicted now to Tiger shoes. This ones in particular are very rare not found in stores. They are really comfortable and soft, lightweight and very durable. Tight fit where it needs to be. Zappos rocks!










A must for Onitsuka enthusiasts - I fell in love the moment I saw these white/blue shoes. It was even better when I learned how comfortable the shoes are. It was a bit stiff on the first two days. But they broke in after two days, and became so comfortable to wear for long hours. Definitely a must have for any Onitsuka enthusiasts...









Great shoe once you get the thing on. In other words, extremely supportive so extremely difficult to insert foot. Once on, however, this shoe fits like a dream. Way stylish, yet functional. 4.5 stars due to minor inconvenience mentioned above.







Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger by Asics 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 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.

Great looking trainer... definitely make a statement. Super comfortable for an active lifestyle...would not run a marathon in them, though.

Customer Reviews ASICS Emma™ Racerback




I accidentally ordered this shirt in a small when I'm usually a medium. However it actually fits perfectly. I'm 5'4" 140lb 34B. It's light and airy and not too tight on the stomach however if you are bigger chested you may need to go up a size. I am planning to wear this on our trip to Walt Disney World and I think it will be perfect. Again, light and cool but really cute on for all the pictures!












Love the Asics Emma tank! If there were more colors and patterns available, I'd buy more. It's super lightweight, which is awesome in Texas. It's more of a running tank than studio tank so I don't get why the reviewer was unhappy that there's no built in shelf bra. Who doesn't run in a bra for better support?










It is obvious that there is no support in this tank prior to purchasing. Yes, you need to wear a sports bra underneath it, as with many other tanks. It is very lightweight and comfortable, especially on hot days.






Customer Reviews ASICS Abby® Tank



Fitted cut hugs the body for maximum support during high-performance activity.












PR Dry technical fabric provides optimal breath ability and moisture management.






Customer Reviews ASICS ASX™ Thong 3-Pack

I really liked these for working out. They were comfortable and I did not think about my underwear once. However, there is no way these are one size fits all. I am 5'5" and 125 pounds and they were pretty tight. 












Because of that, they were visible under my workout pants because they created fat bubbles. I had to wear a long shirt to cover them. I am hoping that they will stretch out.





Customer Reviews ASICS PR™ Pant


These pants are great. I love them. I wear them to coach soccer and they have kept me warm in the cold and the rain and the cold rain. The material is so soft. Perfect length. I am 5'7, 137, normally a size 4. The small fit me great. The waistband is a tad snug, but if I would get the med they would be too big everywhere else. Love! Would love a charcoal grey color.














These pants are great for running, but they run small. I usually wear a Medium in these types of pants, but had to return for a Large because they were so tight in the hips and thighs.
