Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Cute - I have the gray/salmon version of these shoes. Be warned, they are pretty bright and shiny. My sister gave them to me as a gift to add some color to my wardrobe. I almost feel I'm a little old for them, and I'm only 25. That being said, the shoes are comfortable, easily fit my orthopedic arch support, and have decent cushioning. I normally wear a 10.5 or 11, and she got me an 11. They are a touch big, but I'm not sure that the 10.5 would have been large enough. They breathe really well, so they are not warm enough if it is below freezing. Perhaps this will be nice in the summer.

Favorite shoe of all time - I'm on my fifth pair of Tigers. This is my go-to shoe for comfort and style. This light-weight shoe always looks cute, and they feel so great!

Cute and pretty comfortable - These run a little small, about 1/2 a size. There's no arch support and they don't have the "cushiony" feel of Sauconys or New Balances. They are comfortable overall, but probably not good for long walks/hikes.

Super cute and comfy! This is my second pair of these shoes and I gotta tell ya, I haven't loved a pair of sneakers as much as I love my purple and silver Onitsukas! They don't have the best arch support, but they are still so comfortable that I can work all night in them AND they look super sharp.

Is your daughter to cool for the mall? Mine is. I guess the cool thing is to have what no one else does and these shoes were perfect. She is running track with them and loving them. She however, loves them so much she wears them all the time. Zappos, as always, exceeds our expectations with delivery and customer service as well as variety. Thanks for pleasing an unpleaseable 13 year old at least for the moment.

Love! These shoes are great! The colors are almost exactly as they appear online. Beware though that in the way of low profile sneakers, there isn't much separating your foot from the ground! Looks great with jeans and shorts!

Super Sneakers! I'm hooked on these super light weight comfy sneakers. Great arch support too!

Fantastic shoes! These are even better looking in person (white/light gray with blue accent). The arch support is great and the shoe is very lightweight. I would definitely buy another pair of these in the sad event that these wear out.

Sooo ku-ute! These shoes are super CUTE!! I got the metallic blue ones and they're adorable. Really comfy, too. Looks great with skinny jeans and great for the gym.

The most comfortable sneaker out there! This is my third pair of Ultimate 81's and I love them just as much as both of my previous pairs. They are super comfortable and light weight, perfect for walking around the city. They look great with jeans and shorts. I ordered the light gray/white pair with the light blue heel and toe. I couldn't tell from the pictures before ordering what material the blue was, but after getting them I discovered it was a patent leather sort of material - if that influences your decision at all. Overall, I am very happy with them and will continue to order from Zappos.

Disappointed in color - I love the style and comfort of the Ultimate 81s, but was really unhappy with the color. I ordered the gray/salmon which looked like a nice charcoal gray with a goldish accent. They look like flat gray with patent leather pea green trim. Bad colors! I hope more colors are coming soon in this style - this shoe is perfect otherwise.

These are the best shoes that I own - This is the second pair of Ultimate 81 shoes that I have owned. I think that I will have a pair as my every day shoe as long as they make them! They are comfortable and accommodating for wider feet, and they come in the best colors.

SO PERFECT - I love Zappos. I ordered my shoes at 10am on Thursday and received them in the mail by 1pm on Friday! The shoes are great. I love them. I got the silver/white and in the picture, they do look more of a blue-ish green, but in person, they are a darker green. Either way, it’s a great looking shoe. They’re really comfortable and light. Perfect to wear with jeans. The perfect casual shoe. I ordered the size I normally get, but I probably could have gone a half size down, but they're not too big. I love, love, love them! They’re a 10.

Cute and fun! I love this shoe. It comes in a lot of great colors and is also very comfortable. I wear mine to the gym because it's light and forms to the feet.

Zappos wins! I win! My first time buying from Zappos-- great selection, and the shoes came in less than 24 hours from the time I ordered them! The reviews were very helpful, and the shoes are just what I expected. I got the black/sky color and love the details-- there is a lavender accent on the sole and tongue, and they come with 2 pairs of laces, white and sky. Great arch support for a non-athletic sneaker, very lightweight and comfortable. More cushioning at the toe than I expected, but overall a low-profile stylish sneaker that looks great with jeans and I will probably even wear with skirts. First timers, have no fear! Zappos rocks! I am a convert!

Comfy - I bought these shoes to wear to work--I work in a hospital and need something not-too-flashy that still reflects my personality a little. They're extremely comfortable, even after eight hours on my feet, and I'm 100% satisfied with them.

They fit! I ordered these in a 9.5 instead of a 10 (the size I normally wear) because they were the last pair left in the color I liked. I was worried they would be too small but they fit perfectly! I absolutely love them!

Super duper - This is my second pair of Onitsuka Tigers (the first ones were gold - red - blue). I LOVE the way they feel. I work on a university campus and spend a lot of time walking. These have good support, ventilation and are easy to care for.

Cool shoe! This shoe is really cute and I get a lot of compliments on it. The only drawback is that the back of the shoe rubs on your heel a little bit. I only find that it does this though when wearing very short socks. Otherwise it's not a problem.

Magnificent! I absolutely love these shoes. They are the most comfortable, unique, gorgeous sneakers in the universe. I would recommend the ones that look like mint chocolate-chip ice cream...they're intriguing (color-wise) but not obnoxious.

Truly the best shoes I have ever bought! I had long been in search of the perfect, "all-around" sneaker for work and socializing. My feet are often sore, especially in the heels. This is due to me having no arch in my foot. Also, I often have leg-fatigue. I needed a shoe that would offer LOTS of support and LOTS of comfort -- not to mention stylishness. I was delighted to find these through Zappos. Not only are they TRULY the *BEST* shoes I have ever bought -- the most stylish, cute sneakers and the MOST COMFORTABLE -- they arrived exactly 24 hours after I ordered them! These shoes felt like a pair of slippers the moment I put them on. I will be ordering at least 2 more pairs from Zappos in the future.

PERFECT PAIR - This shoe was extremely comfortable from the first day. They are very light weight. I use them in more of a cross-training fashion and the support is adequate. I've never been a serious runner, but suspect that as a running shoe more support might be desired. And they are cuter in person than in the picture.

Fabulous Shoes! Wow, what can I say, other than "I love these shoes!" After eyeing them for what seems like years, I finally bought them after I got my state tax refund (because they're a bit pricier than the sneakers I generally buy). I love them though, and I've gotten so many compliments on them. This is probably the most comfortable shoe I've had in a long time, and my feet felt great even after a long day on my feet in retail. The first day or so did have a slight break-in period, but I never had blisters or anything--I have very high arches so my feet take a little bit to adjust to new shoes. I'm more than 100% pleased with Zappos... You've earned a repeat customer in me!!

Very Cute - This shoe is awesome...Tons of compliments...Very comfy. Going to buy more. I am in between an 8.5 and a 9. Definitely, can go down half size. Also, I have semi-high arches and this shoe supports that.

Love, love, love these shoes! Super comfy the first time out. I walked hours in them and my feet didn't hurt at all. I love that the mesh breathes, so no hot feet this summer. And if you care, they are made of only synthetic materials, which I appreciate as a vegetarian.
