Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger deleted

Overall, a solid everyday walking shoe.

Depending on the shoe, I wear 12, 12wide, 12-1/2, or 13. My feet are moderately wide. Sneakers are usually a 13 for me. These fit more like dress or casual shoes, so the 12-1/2 was too long, but comfortably wide at the ball of the foot, and felt compliant enough to stretch where needed. Going down a half size to 12.

I'm really digging these shoes. Really comfy with a wider sole and shoe than some of the other Onitsukas in their lineup. The material is easy to get scuffed/stained, so make sure you are treating them with a protector of some kind. Even with using some, I already have a couple of marks on them. Either way, love the shoes!

The "Red Brick/Taupe" 81s are a lot more... pink than I expected. I feel like the color should be labeled "Coral" or something instead of Red Brick. It's not bad enough that I'd return them, but definitely not what I hoped for.

Great casual walk around shoe. Wouldn’t use it for serious running.

Loved them but had to return for a bigger size.

I love this brand! Comfy and stylish for everyday. The color of this wasn’t what I fully expected based off the picture. Slightly darker but I still love it and rock them!

I liked the shoe but returned because it was too short.

I need to exchange to size 10

They're decent shoes. Lightweight and pretty comfortable as long as you don't have to stay on your feet a lot. They seem a little narrow, but the material on the upper is flexible enough it isn't a big problem for me.

solid shoe but.... initially I thought it was a bad shoe because they weren't so comfortable to start and seemed to take a little longer to break in. once broken in, they are very comfortable but should be worn in short bursts. inner cushion and support is minimal. I wouldn't want to wear them and be on my feet all day. bad choice to wear for hours at an amusement park. running errands, grocery shopping, quick outings, they'll be fine. just don't expect them to be your all day, everyday, workhorse.

Great looking shoe. Light. Just too narrow for me.

Great shoes for when you're a tourist but don't want to look like one.

Comfort: very comfortable after miles of city walking. Moderate and more than adequate cushioning. Not too much, not too little, while still relatively minimalist (compared to a typical running shoe) Appearance: love the retro look of this shoe. Works with shorts and jeans. A black or grey pair along with a dark pair of jeans and a collared shirt could even work for a casual-sharp look. Durability: in my first pair the sole started to separate at the top of the toe. I was only two weeks in so I was able to return them for a new pair. Will assume the peeling sole was due to a one off defect. Too early to tell if it will reoccur. Fit: this shoe fits very close to size, with very little extra room. I've just barely got a thumb's width between my toe and the top of the shoe. This is a snugger fit than the leather Onitsukas I normally wear. *If you're in between sizes, or like a little more room, I'd size up another half size.* Or order both, try them on at home, and return the one you don't like. (Zappos offers free returns, after all!) Overall a great shoe, assuming this pair holds up and the sole doesn't separate.

Great. I have the same style in a few other colors and they are always good. Only problem is my dog has chewed up like 3 pairs...

Just did not fit correctly.

I love these shoes. They are a bit on the narrow side so beware if you have wide feet. They are super comfortable and lightweight. They fit true to size or very slightly on the small side.

Not bad for a city shoe. I'm used to shoes that give more support width wise. These feel slightly rounded on the edges of the shoes, probably characteristic of these more narrow shoe styles. Surprising amount of arch support, I thought it'd be close to flat. 4/5 overall! Felt true to width, despite feeling 'narrow' in terms of support. Felt true to size. Moderate arch support.

I bought of pair of these in Black/Birch from Zappos back in early 2011. This pair of Asics Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 that I own are going on five years old now and are still in great shape! Very comfortable, even when having to stand on your feet most of the day. I have had trouble with other sneakers hurting my feet and arches. I am just too old now to wear some of the brands I liked when I was younger. It's even harder to find shoes that are comfortable and last a long time when you want vegan ones. I chose these Asics because they are running shoes & because they (MOST) are vegan. True to fit & I like the style of them. I have large feet for a girl & they don't make me look like I am wearing clown shoes. These don't look worn even after nearly five years of wear. The hemp Adidas I owned before I bought this pair, were blown out with huge holes on the sides after wearing them about the same length of time. While the breathable mesh is nice, it does suck when it's cold out. You get a breeze through your shoe. Other than not being the best footwear for winter, the only other downside is that these have a very soft toe and are not the best for work. If you drop a box on your foot or kick something, you're going to feel it. I was used to the hard toe on Adidas Superstars, but went with these because I had a hard time finding any vegan Adidas that I liked for a long time. Overall, a highly recommended shoe!

I have mixed feelings about these shoes. First of all, they were purchased for front/back yard work hence demands were not high. Overall, good craftsmanship but had to replace one pair cause glue was sticking out of soil. Not very convenient for long walks due to a bit strange arch support but that s may be me the only one brand that always works for me is Ecco. The rest is so-so. The bottom line is to test them before buying.

Love the style and a great fit for a narrower foot. However, the sole has some weird texture that made squeaky noises on my hardwood floors when I walked. I didn't try these outside, but I can't live with that noise if it happens inside on hard surfaces.

These are very stylish and comfortable shoes. I was pleasantly surprised that it included extra pairs of white and gray laces as well.

If you normally wear a 6.5, buy a 7. They fit too tight on me so I've had to do a few things to try and stretch them out. I'm not sure why they aren't true to size, but other than that these are awesome. Also, you can't go sockless with these or your feet will become very uncomfortable!

Overall fit of this show is what I have come to expect from Asics. I ordered up a full size as I do normally and the show fits perfectly. Be warned that if you like a little padding on the sole of your shoe, this isn't the show for you. The heel is OK, but forefoot padding is non-existent. I will probably be shopping for another shoe and save these for those times when walking is not on the agenda.
