I absolutely love these shoes! I now have two pairs and they are totally worth it. Very comfortable, fit well, and great for working out in. I love the shiny silver shoes when I work out, it makes it way more fun. I would absolutely recommend these shoes to anyone who wants a fun, comfortable workout shoe or just some great shoes for walking around!

I purchased the "Leaf Green/White" Ultimate 81 by Onitsuka Tiger about a month ago. The shoes are great, comfortable, good looking too, but just FYI the photo on Zappos of the "Leaf Green/White" looks grey. I wanted a grey pair of shoes, but am surprised how much I like the "Leaf Green/White" color. Depending on the lighting the shoes look grey or green.

Aside from the looks of this amazing shoe, it is also comfortale. I have waited for the Black/Stone Grey version to come out in my size for over 2 years. It was well worth the wait. These shoes have my approval and will be looking to buying another pair soon.

Almost perfect. The first pair of these shoes I tried on were 2 sizes smaller than my regular shoe size, a 10 instead of 12. My foot felt very snug in them, but not pained at all. I later found a size 11 and I was in love at first fitting. The fabric these shoes are made of is very stretchy, I have rather wide feet and these shoes fit/feel better than any other I have ever owned! I can not say enough about my new found love for these shoes. Not the best in rainy weather due to the fact they are mostly fabric, your feet may get wet. They are very lightweight and the tread of the shoe is great, very slip resistant. I wear these every day and dread wearing any other shoe I own. I will definitely be buying these shoes again when the time comes.

Per the ratings below, I really liked these shoes. I have worn them regularly since obtaining them and their style and comfort far surpasses what I had expected. The only complaint I have regarding ordering from Zappos was the time it took to receive the shoes. The shoes took roughly 1 - 1.5 weeks to arrive, when I had originally thought it would take 3 - 5 days. Also, I had purchased the shoes prior to a trip I took and the shoes almost did not arrive in time before I left. Luckily, they did, but it was at the last minute.

Initially I got these in 10, which is my normal size, but they felt too big. So I returned them and got the 9.5, but now they are just ever slightly so small. I didn't notice it at first, just thought they needed to be worn in some, but they are a little too snug. Other than that, I love the shoes. I just wish I had stuck with the ones that were too big.

These shoes feel true to size, look good with a pair of jeans, and are really comfortable. If I need to run somewhere because I'm running late, they're handy because they are running shoes as well. I'll probably be buying other color combinations later. Right now I have the fully black ones.

These shoes are very comfortable. Most shoes I have to "break in" for a few days, but these fit snugly from day one. Highly recommended to anyone who likes "loud" shoes that really stand out!

They are cool looking, but not so comfortable. Put new insoles in and that helped a little. I have several pair of this brand, though, and like them.

These sneakers are true to size. They are extremely comfortable. They are so light I wear them so often I don\'t even realize I have anything on. I just love them! I love the fact that they have them available in so many different colors. I totally recommend these!! I\'m working on getting my second pair in another color.

Looks great but, it rubbed the skin off the back of my heels the first day I wore them. Other than that, they were pretty good, but I still prefer my old worn out shoes.

These are probably the best shoes I have ever owned. Very comfortable and great looking. My only problem is the the insoles wore out in about a year. It might just be the way I walk, but the insoles just rubbed off. I'd still buy another pair of Ultimate 81s if I needed to.

I've had these for about 6 weeks now. I don't regret the purchase in the least. I don't own a car, so my feet are my main means of transportation. On any given day I walk at least 2 miles getting to/from work. So I need some comfortable shoes that will hold up well. These shoes are much more comfortable than I had originally thought they would be. They have a nice snug fit around the foot. The good kind of snug, not too tight. Another concern I had before getting them was the lack of traction on the bottom being slippery walking around. However, the footing is very sturdy, even when wet. Plus the Onitsuka design is hard to top. 5 stars all around. I foolishly got white ones which are a pain to keep clean. A little household cleaner and a good scrub with an old toothbrush will clean them right up though.

Great shoes for the price. Very stylish, I've already had several very well dressed men compliment me on them, so you know they are good. The fit and support is about what you would expect from a shoe of this price and style. The size is the same as it is in my Nikes. I also like the tread on these shoes they don't seem to be wearing as fast as my Sauconys.

I love these shoes! They're a comfortable fit, and are very stylish. I've already received several compliments on them. Highly recommended! On a side note, my order was upgraded for free to overnight shipping. I placed the order around 9:30 p.m., and the package was sitting on my porch at about 1 p.m. the following day. Amazing! That's what I call prompt service. Thanks Zappos!

I was in the market for Onitsuka Tiger Asics and found the most color combinations and sizes on Zappos. I ordered them with standard delivery and was told shortly thereafter that I was being upgraded to next day shipping and sure enough...I got them a day later. Unbelievable service! The shoes are great and are everything I expected them to be. The sizing is pretty standard which made it even easier to buy them online. I\'ll definitely be shopping with Zappos in the future.

Shoes fit pretty true to size, comfortable after you break them in but the tongue is a bit squeaky even after a few weeks of wearing. Looks good though.

Received these shoes as a birthday present and really like them. They are comfortable, light, offer good support and traction, and have a unique style. I believe they will be durable by the look and feel of the build quality. I have worn mostly Nike and Adidas in the past and these surpass in terms of comfort, and the style while retro is better than most current entries by the big two. Most recently I have worn Mitre and they really held up for a couple years, so the Asics have big shoes to fill but I think they will. Given the combo of price and quality I do not think you will be disappointed. Interesting color schemes too, I went with the all Red with Blue and White trim. They definitely stand out.

I got these for my boyfriend. The Gray/Black/White ones and they look great. We shopped around for weeks for casual sneakers that can be worn with jeans, casual pants and they even look nice with shorts. He tells me they are comfortable and he wears them all the time.

These shoes are very comfortable, but do run a tad small. I went a half size bigger and they fit perfect. They are very roomy width wise, though.

My husband loves these (mustard and metallic navy) shoes. He wears them with jeans and shorts and they look great. You know those urban shoes that are popular (Pumas, Adidas). I love them, but they don't really fit his wider foot but these still look fashionable and in that sort of category. I suggest them, plus the story of the Onitsuka Tigers is pretty cool to support the brand. Oh, it may be a good idea to buy these a full size bigger like most athletic shoe experts recommend.
