Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

These shoes are cute and comfortable but run a full size larger than marked. I wear an eleven and it felt like I was wearing a size twelve or twelve and a half. Also, the toe looked kind of big and boxy. I might order some for the winter months but will go a full size smaller next time.

Very comfortable and light weight. Not of the finest quality, they fit snuggly and can be hard to slide off (you really have to unlace them so they're very loose) and, as a result of having a hard time getting in/out of them the back heel has already crushed and folded a bit. This never happens to my shoes, so it’s not just me. Also the rubber on the left toe is coming unglued and is sticking out, after only a month. They are comfortable and good looking, they just won't last you a long time. Also, sizes run big.

I was feeling this when I received it. Looked a little cheesy. Didn't bother to try them on, I returned them.

These shoes made my feet like really long and weird, and they are tight. The laces are too narrow and felt odd on my feet.

I really like the Onitsuka Tiger styles and colors! They are very cute and I get compliments all the time. However, I walk a lot, and the quality of the materials does not last. I bought these only 6 months ago and they already have holes in them. This is my 2nd pair of Onitsuka Tiger sneakers and the same thing has happened: they wear out too quickly.

This pair is my 5th (and last) and it doesn't even resemble the last 4 that served me loyally for at least a year. I think the company used cheaper materials to make this pair: the insoles and outer nubuck-like material feel and look like cardboard. As a matter of fact the insoles need to be changed after a few weeks of moderate use. I got caught in the rain today and the black outer sole on the toe area is sticking out because the glue was cheap. And the mesh fabric inside has already a tear. I'm done with Ultimate 81. So disappointed.

I have to give this an overall 2 stars even though it is the most adorable shoe. I wear a 12 and they FIT, but they were really really uncomfortable. The back of the shoe was digging into my heal and the arch was really far forward. The shoe is also really cheaply made and you can tell when you put it on and take it out of the box. It probably would have fallen apart in about two weeks. Alas. But they were so cute! I was sad to have to send them back.
