Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Duck shoes that Rock - I love my new shoes! People stop and stare and they are incredibly comfortable. Another plus is that they are easy to find in my dorm room.

Cool comfort - Very comfortable shoe, my only complaint is I got a blister on the back side of my heel (not on bottom of my foot, but near ankle) the first time I wore them for an extended walk. Otherwise very light and feel like you are wearing almost no shoe.

Asics delivers again - I absolutely love these shoes. Onitsuka Tiger is my favorite style, and they don’t cost upwards of $100 like some other companies charge. You will not regret a purchase of the fine shoes. The only minor issue I have is that "no show" socks should not be worn in excess with these shoes, as the leather with rub against the exposed ankle and cause minor irritation.

Cool shoe - Definitely looks good. I have size 10 feet, and it doesn't make my feet look huge. Haven't decided whether or not to keep them yet, basically because of the price, but the grey/black/dark pink color combination looks nice. The soles seem stiff, so they might take some time to break in, but the shoes themselves are very cool.

Comfy - My favorite sneakers ever. Lightweight, comfortable, and so cute.

Retro remarkable - This in an incredibly comfortable shoe. I use it on the treadmill and it's like walking on a cloud. It is definitely for a light workout since it does not have strong stability.

Asics - These shoes are awesome, it’s my second pair. The first ones I ordered were black and yellow and orange. These shoes go with everything shorts, jeans even underwear! The shoes are very comfortable; I get compliments all the time. Once again Zappos made my day. Fast delivery and awesome customer service.

Awesome! Just go these shoes 2 days ago, wore them all day and they are so comfortable! Like slippers. They look great and are extremely functional...highly recommend them!

Great shoes! Very comfortable.

Great FIT!!! These shoes are really great, they look and feel great. The shoe really breathes nice as well.

LOVE EM!! I bought these in yellow/green/red... very fun!! I get plenty of compliments on them and they are SOO comfy... one day I thought tissue was stuck to the bottom of my shoe but when I looked under there was nothing... they are THAT comfy. I found them here 6 months after seeing them in a store that didn't have my size... THANKS ZAPPOS... I really needed these babies!

So comfortable and stylish the sunset orange look wicked! I was skeptical that they would feel really flimsy from the other reviews on Zappos and although I wouldn't run a marathon in them the 'lightweight and durable' description is spot-on.

Silky smooth - This is my first pair of Onitsuka Tigers and they are great! The Ultimate 81 is instantly comfortable and the colors and styles are très hip. I've had multiple "Cool shoes!" compliments. Size is pretty much true, although I think that Tigers in general run a little narrow. I bought a pair of Gantrai immediately afterwards and in comparison the Ultimate 81 is more comfortable for walking given the Gantrai's knobbier sole that wraps around the toe area more prominently (although I like the Gantrai a lot too).

Awesome Shoes! These shoes are fantastic! They are, by far, the most comfortable shoe I've owned. I can't stop wearing them! I'm a fan of shoes that are a little flashy so I bought the Kelly Green and White shoes. They are VERY green, but I love it! My next pair of shoes will definitely be Onitsuka Tiger.

Super stylish, super comfy! I am a flip flop and sneaker kind of gal. I like comfort, but I must look good too. These sneakers take both ideals into consideration and boy, do they deliver!! I bought the yellow & blue combo and they are fab! I get so many compliments! I would recommend that you order your normal size, as I read the reviews and ordered a 1/2 smaller, and they were too small!

Great shoes!! I bought these shoes in the yellow and blue. I love them. They feel great and they look great too! I would definitely recommend them.

Looking good - I bought the navy blue/yellow, and they look great. The photo doesn't do it justice and I was surprised when I pulled it out of the box. They look good in pants or shorts and I will definitely buy another pair.

Super Cute Shoe! I ordered the shoe in navy and gold and have received so many compliments on it. It is really, really cute! It’s also more versatile than I expected and goes well with a lot of different outfits. The heel is a little stiff and is taking some breaking in, but other than that the comfort is great. I totally recommend this shoe!

Fun shoe! Since this is a reproduction model, I knew that it wouldn't have any state-of-the-art comfort and support in its design. Surprisingly, its thinness helps keep my feet extremely well ventilated, something I didn't expect at all! I got this shoe with bright colors as a fun shoe to wear at the gym during my cycling classes and when I spend long hours on the elliptical machine. For those purposes this shoe is PERFECT. Very comfortable for gym use, and the models with the bright color ways really get everyone's attention! I originally wanted the Mexico '66 model, but I find the rear flap irritating if I wear jeans with it. The Ultimate 81 looks close enough to the Mexico, and is cheaper to boot! I would definitely buy more pairs of this shoe!

Great Shoe - I have to say this shoe rocks. I'm very picky when it comes to shoes but I saw these and loved them. The style is amazing and the feel is great. The only problem I had was that the bottom was kind of hard. I highly advise you to buy these, they look great, and after about a day of wearing them they feel great too.

A Bicyclists Dream Shoe - For those bicyclists who enjoy riding in shoes that look and feel good off the bike as well as on it, this shoe is hard to beat. It is extraordinarily light, breathable (I have sweaty feet, but not in these), superbly comfortable and flexible, and is ultimately an aesthetic marvel. The Adidas Samba Millennium is good, but this shoe extends the joy of bicycling to another level.

My daughter LOVES them - ...and she is picky about style! I was concerned about all-day comfort, considering how thin they look, but she says that they are extremely comfortable, even on hikes.

Great shoe. I ordered them too large on accident now seeing they run a bit larger. But I put my Nike free insoles in them and they fit excellent. They are great for running in if you get an insole. Only problem is that the mesh has torn while I was playing basketball, I’d probably get the suede or leather for more durability.

Shoes at last - Comfortable out of the box. I've been having a devil of a time finding shoes since I injured my feet and am having to wear a bandage on each foot that has made my foot a full size bigger than every pair of shoes I currently own. Poor Zappos, I have been sending shoes back and forth trying to get a pair that works for me. These shoes are great. I need a woman’s 12 so I got a man’s 10.5. They fit perfectly. I have flattish feet so I need some arch but not a very pronounced one. This shoe works. I also have a narrow foot, and often find men’s/unisex shoes too wide. These are just fine. I also have plantar fasciitis (ain’t I a mess?) and find the padding at the heel quite comfortable. I bought the black/yellow/orange ones. They are very bright, but I get lots of compliments. As always, Zappos is the best.
