Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Pretty good shoes. The insoles are firmer than I expected based on appearance. I can walk a couple miles on pavement in them with no trouble, but standing or poking around on concrete floors (e.g. shopping) in them still make my feet sore. They look cool. Not sure if I'll buy them again.

These were very comfortable shoes and they look cool. My only complaint is that the second year of wearing them my big toe made a hole through the material. That being said, I ordered almost exactly the same pair again. I just won't expect them to last as long as my other sneakers do. One of my feet is wide and these shoes worked for me. I used them for walking.

Love these shoes but it's taken quite some time to break them in to where they aren't blistering my heel. I'm going to keep them but going to order more Pumas.

Looked a bit more appealing in the picture, they are more flat. But acceptable. True to size. No Asics gel inside.

It's a very stylish shoe, and I love navy blue. It would be very comfortable for someone with narrower feet. I guess my foot is a little wider. I kind of feel they only look great with straight fit jeans; your foot would look really thin with boot cuts. Overall, I do love them.

I really love this shoe's looks and (after they're broken in) comfort. I bought a pair two years ago, and just bought my second pair. The downside is that for the first few weeks, the back of the shoe will rub my heel raw. I have to put in moleskin or other padding until the shoe softens enough. Otherwise though, they look and feel great.

Trendy and comfortable. Good construction, but not super durable like running shoes, so I only wear them when hanging with friends.

This is a really sharp looking shoe, and the way the sole goes over the toe is a nice touch. I've gotten a lot of compliments. Fit wise, I'm between two sizes and chose the larger one. That was a good idea. The shoe is comfortable to wear, but it doesn't have much cushioning or support, so it's probably better for casual wear and not so much for actual sports.

Great shoe. Very comfortable. My only complaint: the soles seem to wear out very fast. I have to replace them frequently.

Nice comfortable shoes. Plus great color. I always get complements when I wear them. I wear a 8 1/2 and these fit perfectly.

Green color is a bit more bland in person - more forest than olive. The lighter green areas also have more white in the mix than I realized. They are rather narrow, not sure if a wide is available. Nice look and quality, though - will try a wide or larger size in another color.

I love my Tigers! However this pair does have a flaw. On the top of the shoe right where my pinky toe is the material has started to rip. Not too bad. But that is also not good. I still think these are the best shoes ever made and I will continue to purchase them.

This is a pretty basic shoe. Flat, no support, not much too it. I find it comfortable for casual wear and I like the basic style.

PROS: Awesome style shoes. I love how they break in very easily. I wear these as casual shoes and love the color scheme. The low profile sleek was to them allows my jeans to crease over them perfectly. They material is like a can canvas type above the toes allowing a sprinkle of water without being ruined. All around good shoe. CONS: I don't like how they fall apart so quickly. I think shoes in general now just aren't made to last. Although I wear my shoes pretty hard and often, with this pair I had to buy two and am on my second pair after starting to wear the first pair last November (it's not July). I still use the first psi as knock around shoes, but I would have liked them to last a bit longer. Also the front rubber seems to call forward away from the suede. Not enough to make a hole in the shoe but just enough to be annoying. My friend has another color where this happened and has happened in the past a few times as well. Overall an awesome shoe. I LOVE the styling and comfort feel of them, very low profile on feel and I like that.

I like the color and design. It is a very typical pair of tigers. The colors were exactly how they look on the screen. I thought it was a small. I'm exchanging for a half size larger. Also, it may look flat but there is actually arch support so just keep that in mind.

I just received this pair of Tigers last week and they're definitely one of my all-time best shoe purchases. I really love the built in arch-support. It does take some getting used to, but once broken in and worn a couple of times, you'll be wondering why your other shoes don't have the same technology. Word of warning, be sure to purchase your true size because the arch-support will feel funky if you don't.

Could have a little more support, but overall shoes are comfortable and lightweight. Once you wear a few times, they feel fine.

These are very light weight and cool, a good summer shoe. No break in time required. Minimal cushioning and support so I would not want to stand in them for long periods, but comfortable for casual wear. They remind me of Saucony originals and feel very similar, but I think I prefer the tiger. I like the clean and simple classic design, which is the main reason I got them.

These are pretty cool looking. They are not the most comfortable shoes, but my feet are not the easiest to please, so do not go by me. The most uncomfortable part is the inner soles, which have a sort of sandpaper-like feel to the soles of your feet. However, if you take them out, and replace them with more comfortable ones, they are fine.

I think these take the cake! They are lightweight (which I prefer versus the heavy clunky shoes), help keep my posture straight, and look really sharp. The toe box is a bit tight, but I am hoping that with wear they will loosen up some. I just wish they made black shoes exactly like these but with a gum bottom. Thank you for helping my picky taste, Zappos! You are the best!

Great style! Not a ton of support or cushion but a very cute look. Runs a wee bit small so if you're on the edge, order a half size up.

After mistakenly buying the slip on version I switched to these and they are definitely the style I wanted. They are a little flatter than I expected but did not make my feet hurt or anything through about a year of wearing. They held together fine after wearing them everyday for a year. They are good looking durable shoes.

These shoes are very stylish and look even better in person. They fit true to size and they are very comfortable. However, for runners/walkers, this is not the shoe for you. It does not offer enough sole support to take pavement pounding. I use them for Zumba.
