Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger deleted

I bought these shoes less than a year ago and they are already starting to fall apart. I love the shoes and I love the style, but I am really disappointed that they didn't even last a year.

I don't like the fabric being used here. I love the ultimate 81 series, but these shoes don't make the cut. They pinch on the outside of the toes and there's a piece of fabric on the top inside the shoe that gets folded over and feels uncomfortable.

Liked the style, but the toe and upper area of the sole was not comfortable at all. If you look at the picture, you can see how the sole or rubber of the shoe is thick in the back but reduces to almost nothing in the toe area. My heels felt great but my toes felt like I was standing on concrete. Also the shoe felt a bit snug all-around.

Good looking and comfortable shoe, but the sole started to come off after just a week of use. Low quality, had to return.

These very attractive shoes were uncomfortable at first. The back (raised white part) rubbed and caused a blister. The mesh is rough and rubbed the top of my toes through socks. Finally after a few days of wear they became reasonably comfortable. Then just a month or two into wearing them, they started ripping at the seams near the big toes where the mesh is. I have tried a lot of shoe brands and by far have been most unsatisfied with these in terms of quality. Really cute shoes to look at, but won't bother with them again.

Looks great, but as far as comfort and support, not good. I did not purchase these shoes to run or exercise in, just for casual wear. The soles are firm, no cushion - so after awhile, it felt like I was standing in my bare feet on concrete. My heels especially were killing me the next day. Great looking shoes, just not comfortable for everyday or all day wear.

See how black the navy ones looks on your screen and that's how black and not navy these shoes are in person. And super uncomfortable as they really dig into your heel.

I ordered these because I've been well satisfied with Asics running shoes, but wanted something black to wear with jeans, etc. I am very disappointed; the quality is substandard, the shoes are not comfortable, and they won't accommodate an orthotic. I'm sending them back.

Ultimate 81 used to be my favorite style sneaker, but the last 2 pairs I have bought are so uncomfortable, they are almost unwearable. I am a solid size 10 in these, always have been, first 3 pairs were amazing. Then I bought 2 new pairs about a year ago, and they fit so poorly my feet hurt for days after wearing them.

Shoes looked great and fit to size. Comfort is awful. The soles have no padding and the ankle is so hard it cut up the back of my leg in a few hours, much bleeding. Not what i expected from a pair of sneakers.

Got the grey ones with yellow trim. Look nice, fit nice, but didn’t last 6 months before they started to fall apart. Poor materials and construction. A hole opened on the left toe and fabric above the toe got scuffy.

NOT a running shoe. NO support and not really very comfortable, even for a "day walking" shoe.

Image is incorrect. Not the same mesh or color.

They look nice but the heels slip even though the rest of the shoe fits. Zero arch or ankle support. My feet cramp up each time I wear them but it’s too late to return :-/

These really hurt the back of my heal and giving me blisters. I end up getting ride of them.

I saw the 5 star rating and thought these shoes look cool. I bought them and after about 2 months the rubber on the front starting coming apart from the shoe. I love how light they are, but my feet started hurting after wearing them for a few mile walk. They need more padding and better arch support.

These are great looking shoes but they literally come with a warning that they are not to be used for any athletic activity. However, that warning should extend to any activity that is not standing perfectly still, such as walking. I walk a mere 1.4 miles round trip to and from work each day and that is more than these shoes can handle. I walk a lot more throughout the day and it is more than these shoes can handle. It is like strapping a piece of cheap, hard foam to the bottom of your foot. They have zero support and I have nearly rolled my ankle twice in these sneakers. The sizing is also a bit off. I wear an 11 in a couple brands of running shoes, 10¼ in some hiking boots. I ordered these in 11 and they were like clown shoes. I went down to 10 which is too small, so order down about half a size if you insist on ordering expensive cool looking foam for the bottom of your foot. These shoes suck. They are vegan, which was a plus for me, but not worth the overall worse-sneaker-ever experience. I am better off in some Chucks. Or strap some pieces of plywood to your feet. How I hate these shoes. I should have just burned the money that I spent on these.

Sole started ungluing from the toe almost immediately. Arch support was entirely too much in just one foot.

The sole and the material Are both rather thin and seem to be poor quality. Minimal arch support. Would probably require a supportive insert for comfort.

My podiatrist recommended Asics without an arch and to insert my orthodics. I tried them twice for less than 3 miles--ouch! After 4 weeks of rest I am just about recovered -- that did not work for me. Help, sore feet!

So small. I buy Onitsuka Tiger shoes almost exclusively. I wear a 10.5 US. I ordered a 10.5 and they are at least a full size too small. I bought the exact same shoe in a different color with no problems. How is this shoe manufactured a full size too small?! So frustrating. Makes me regret shopping online.

This is third pair of Onisuka Tigers and like my others these are a size 7. This size 7 is not true to size and is more likely at 6½. It was not until I had walked around in them for a few hours did I realize I had just thrown away so much money because they were too snug. The labeling got me, I would have been more cautious to make sure the size was correct had I not already owned the shoes twice before in the exact same specs. These simply are not cut the same. On top of that the synthetic materials do not stretch and smell of plastic chemicals. Zappos was unwilling to hear me out or help me, and being this is a Zappos exclusive I cannot exchange them with the manufacturer. It is in my order history that I have ordered these shoes twice before in a 7.

I would reccommend not buying this shoe, the bottoms of the shoe start to come apart only 4 months in. I even returned them once and exchanged for another pair thinking it was a defect and four months later here we are again. I also work in an office so they aren't from wear and tear.
