I buy these Tigers because of the way they look. They are beyond cool, with their ultra low-profile design. They're sexy shoes with a definite European flair to them (though they are Japanese by design). You see these frequently around Paris on the feet of the younger generation. Even though I'm in my 40's they still look cool. You just can't find a cooler-looking, old-school style sneaker. I get compliments all the time. This, I may add, is my second pair, with 2 more on deck. Even my 14 year old son fell in love with them since nobody at his school wears them. So they have a certain "hard-to-find" cool factor that makes them more doable to many. Having said all that, they are not the most supportive shoe out there. In fact, they really are just for looks. You could run in them because they're so light, but they have zero arch support so it would be somewhat like running barefoot. The sole is flat and thin, of course. Still, they're like a feather and they look great. If you want serious running or walking shoes, these aren't them. But if you want some cool shoes, look no further.

These shoes are a classic throwback to a simpler time. Sleek and well-made, they evoke the period of running's glory days. Though they don't feature today's high tech innovations of cushioning and support in running shoes technology, they are great for kicking around and dressing down. They go well with a track suit or jeans. I like to wear them when driving as well.

Great, comfortable shoe! I usually wear Adidas Sambas, but the newer models are not quite as comfy as the older ones. This shoe is my new favorite.

I have two pairs of these and one for casual wear, and one for running. As has been said, they don't have arch support. That's why I'm using them for running as a supplement to barefoot running and runs in my Vibrams. It takes some getting used to, but they're perfect for minimalist running if you're into that sort of thing.

Like these shoes need anymore reviews! After 2 years of ownership, I figured I'd finally document a review. I love these shoes. They've lasted comfortably for 2 years! They run as labeled length wise but are a bit narrow width wise. A great stylish, comfortable shoe every one should own.

I wear a 12W women's. The 11 men's fit well, sleek looking and comfortable, perfect for my smart-casual style at work and on weekends. Probably not enough cushion for extensive walking but okay for regular days.

I love the look of these shoes. But after buying 2 pairs, I can't recommend them because the suede toe gets instantly dirty and is impossible to clean. I think its a combination of the outside dirt, and sweat from my toes, but the tip of the suede is all dark, almost black. The first pair did this. so the 2nd pair, i made sure i put on suede protector. Then when they started discoloring, I tried suede cleaner and brushes, and it still looks crappy.

These shoes are incredible! The support is outstanding; I can stand for hours in them at work and my feet don't hurt. A must for anyone who can wear sneakers to work. Their slim profile makes them great under any kind of pants!

Look beautiful, feel great. I'm not an athlete, but I like the way these shoes are so lightweight.

Normally I would not spend so much on a flat but these called out to me "You will love us" and they were right - I do. Gorgeous styling - possibly the prettiest flats I have ever owned. I am thinking about buying a second pair because I want to wear these forever.

These shoes are fabulous. Comfortable and so cute. Look good with pants and can wear them with a dress. Liked them so much I bought two pairs!

I am in love with these shoes. They are beautiful! They seemed to be a bit short at first, but the more I wore them, the more they seemed to stretch to accomodate my foot (probably my imagination). I wear a 9N and the width was perfect. I am so glad I bought these.

If there were more than five stars, I would give these shoes a 10. The fit (7B) was perfect. The style is a knockout. The most beautiful shoes I have had in many years. I may have to order a second pair because I know I will be wearing these all the time and wear them out. Btw, I do not usually buy shoes this expensive, at least not this days with a reduced income but these are totally worth it.

Good shoe for more dressy wear. Comfort and style as a replacement for high heels. A bit stiff all over, but not enough to be concerned. More comfortable with more wear.

Love this shoe. Nice support, great looking: feminine and classy. I often avoid suede as don't like the weather limitations, but had a hard time finding a dark gray shoe that I liked. I have a bunion (big toe side of foot) and this still felt so very comfortable.

This is a very pretty shoe. It's a bit smaller and narrower than marked. The back of the shoe is quite stiff.

I loved the 1st pair of these shoes so much that I ordered another pair in a different color. They are perfect for fall.
