This company cannot pay to remove reviews or change its score.
Their customer service is a desaster.
Never order a pair of shoes directly from them. They are not capable to pay you back when your return the shoes.
Waiting since 2 months, many emails.
They do not even reply.
The worst experience I did with online sales

Esperienza d’acquisto deludente
Ho effettuato un ordine sul sito Onitsuka Tiger quasi dieci giorni fa, confidando in un servizio affidabile, tuttavia, la mia esperienza si è rivelata estremamente deludente. Secondo il tracciamento, il pacco risulta consegnato in data 01/06/2026, ma non ho mai ricevuto la merce.
Dopo aver segnalato oggi il problema all'assistenza, con mio grande stupore, anziché ricevere informazioni chiare sull'effettiva consegna, mi è stato inizialmente suggerito di verificare personalmente presso i vicini o presso eventuali punti di ritiro. Trovo inaccettabile che, a fronte di una consegna contestata, l'onere delle verifiche sia stato posto in prima battuta a carico del cliente, invitandomi a cercare personalmente il pacco presso vicini o punti di ritiro mai concordati al momento dell'ordine.
Ho successivamente contattato il corriere GLS, che mi ha prontamente informata che le verifiche sulla spedizione devono essere avviate dal mittente. Nel frattempo, mi ritrovo senza il mio ordine e senza alcuna indicazione precisa su dove/se sia stato effettivamente consegnato.
Oltre al disagio arrecato, ho dovuto dedicare tempo a ricerche e verifiche che non dovrebbero ricadere sul cliente, soprattutto quando il servizio di consegna non è stato eseguito secondo le modalità espressamente richieste al momento dell'acquisto.
Avevo inoltre necessità di ricevere l'ordine con urgenza e questo inconveniente ha comportato ulteriori disagi e perdite di tempo.
Mi sarei aspettata maggiore assistenza, trasparenza e assunzione di responsabilità nella gestione della situazione. Alla luce dell'esperienza avuta, non posso esprimere un giudizio positivo sul servizio ricevuto e auspico che il problema venga risolto nel più breve tempo possibile.

Shoes falling apart after 6 weeks
I bought my 4th pair in 3 years, they’ve all been pretty good until this last one.
They’re also NOT great for all day standing.
The last pair I purchased, slip on. The stitching started unraveling in 6 weeks on both shoes at the heel.
They asked multiple questions after I emailed them. I’m assuming thinking I would not still have the box, or record of purchase. They started out as concerned, asked for strictly photos, then I delivered. Then their response was to ask for different photos (box, proof of purchase).
I provided all that. Then they responded with “We’re so sorry that you’re unhappy, but there’s nothing that we can do.”

Bei jeder Bestellung fehlt ein Artikel.
Bei jeder Bestellung fehlt ein Artikel.
2 Paar Schuhe bestellt, nur 1 Paar geliefert.
im Account als komplett geliefert markiert. Kein Tracking keine Kontrolle. Kundendienst braucht mehrere Monate mit unzähligen (mehr als 20) Mails damit endlich eine Gutschrift ausgelöst wird.

The sole of the show started to come…
The sole of the show started to come off. Within 4 months of purchase the sole of my shoe has started loosing grip. Bought in Jan 2026 sitting in May 2026 and worn the shoe no more than 10 times. This is the quality for which we pay a premium.

Falling apart
Purchased a £150 pair of Onitsuka Tiger shoes in October as a birthday gift for my sister. They were only worn a handful of times during December and January before the glue at the front of the shoe began separating, along with damage appearing at the heel.
I reported the issue in February and have been trying to resolve it since March. During this time, the shoes have not been worn, yet the glue separation has continued to worsen.
What has been most disappointing is not just the quality issue itself, but the handling of the complaint. After months of back-and-forth and multiple “management reviews”, the only resolution offered was a 30% refund on shoes that have barely been used.
At no point was the durability concern meaningfully addressed. For a £150 product, I would expect significantly better quality and customer service.
Based on my experience, I would be never buy from Onitsuka Tiger again, and by the seems of things, other people have also had similar issues with bad customer service and bad quality.
