Onitsuka TigerWomen's Mexico 66 Shoes 1182A007

After reading most of the reviews, I was hesitant on a few things. Some said it fits a size too small because it's leather, some said it felt cheap and flimsy, a lot of people said that it does not have arch support, even fake, some said since it's 2017, these models are worst than the original.Quality 10/10 I bought from the Onitsuka Tiger seller on Amazon, what I received was the genuine, made in Indonesia pair of Onitsuka's. From another review, the ones that are made in Vietnam are of the poor quality, these one's on Amazon are the real deal. The leather seems of good quality, I cannot judge 100% as of now since I've owned them for a few hours but they seem alright. I don't know about everyone else but mines actually came with arch support soles. It felt awkward at first but once I got used to them they are super comfortable. The laces are of high quality, it's not your usual shoe lace, it feels a bit more soft and less tight feeling. The bottom sole is flat which I love, I wore these to the gym and they are great to squat in. I LOVE the retro look, these are timeless and personally a must own. One of the best pair of shoes I've ever purchased. Get this gem before it disappears forever!

I bought this shoe for it's appearance, positive reviews and historical significance. Ontisuka shoes are famous. At first I was a bit skeptical. How could a shoe from the 1966 Olympics be any good in the 21st century? The answer is some things are designed properly from their inception and last the test of time. This shoe is an example of that. Just like a 66' Shelby Cobra or the metal prop rod used to hold up the hood of your automobile, this shoe remains a competitive idea even today. Apart from the fact these shoes squeak like crazy on wet floors and cause one to imagine they are in a scene from Police Academy where Micheal Winslow is simulating squeaking noises, these make a very good daily active shoe. The sole is very thin and I made sure to order about a half size smaller for optimum fit. I usually wear a 91/2m US but a 9m US in this shoe fits me like a glove... (or in this case a well fitting shoe). These shoes are not made for rain or wet conditions. Think of this shoe like a sports car, minimalist and purpose built. If your goal is heel and toe down-shifting in your sports car, look no further. These shoes offer great feel. They are stylish, well made and are pretty comfortable, but adding a Dr. Scholl's gel heel support makes them about perfect. So apart from the embarrassing wet floor squeaky aspect and lack of traction in the wet, these are a great performing shoe. Kinda pricey though. An Adidas Samba or Gazelle are about half the price and probably just as effective but not nearly as unique or aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. .

Apart from sizing a little on the tight side (consider ordering a half-size up if your feet are on the larger end of the size you normally wear), these are everything I wanted them to be. They're super-comfortable (which I've come to expect from Onitsuka) and (also meeting my Onitsuka expectations) very well-made. Tigers last as long or longer than Vans (which really is something special). In fact, until a couple of years ago, I wore Vans exclusively--because their longevity could not be matched (in that price point). But I have officially switched to Onitsuka Tigers (for their longevity, comfort, and style. You really can't go wrong with these (except, perhaps, for ordering the wrong size).Note: These shoes are the opposite of non-slip. On ice and wet floors, they are noticeably MORE slippery than other shoes. On linoleum or tile floors, water might as well be Astro-Glide.EDIT, FOUR MONTHS AFTER POSTING THIS INITIAL REVIEW: I still love them. On the outside, they're still in great shape. They almost look new, except for some wrinkles in the leather--a result of it taking the shape of my foot.One drawback I did not consider: They're leather, so heat and moisture have nowhere to go. At the end of a long day (waiting tables) my feet come out of these shoes smelling like they never have with any other pair of shoes. My recommendation: Don't wear them when you're going to be on your feet running around like a maniac for six to eight hours without an opportunity to remove them and let your feet (and the shoes) breathe.

Very happy with this purchase. I was looking for a casual driving type shoe, similar to Puma. I wanted an old school shoe that still had some style to it, was narrow, and flat. This fit the bill. Because of these qualities, this is a specific shoe that might not fit everyone. So let's get to the pros/cons:Pros:- Awesome, classic styling. I get comments on them from people from time to time wondering what brand they are.- After wearing them for several months, leather seems to be holding up, along with the suede portions.- Narrow fit that feels snug. This is great as I have a bit more narrow feet than others. These fit perfect.- Size was appropriate. I've worn 10's all my life and these fit exactly as others.Cons:- Not a con for me at all, but wide feet beware. These are fairly narrow.- Some of the material feels a bit thin. I am worried about wear over time, but for now it is holding up.Overall, I've very please with this shoe. Not sure how, but I got these (black/white pair) for $33. I see the price is now normally around $60. Not sure I'd be pleased paying over $50 for these, as I feel that's the maximum I'd pay for a shoe like this, because I just don't see them holding up with daily use for several years. If you can find them for a bit under $60, I think it's absolutely worth it.
