Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Love these shoes! I wear them as my everyday shoe and and hold up pretty well, as well as the extra height on on the heel keeps my pants from going under the sole. I buy 1 size larger as they tend to be a little narrow.

I own several pairs of these shoes and they are great! I have wide feet and have no problem with the Tigers. The blue ones are my favorite - they hide a moderate amount of dirt, and look great with jeans.

I was a bit skeptical about these shoes being very comfortable given the seemingly minimal amount of sole there is (however, more than most other Onitsuka lines) but they are my go-to since they also look great. Not sure about longevity as I've only had them a month and they arrived with 2-2cm "bubbles" where the sole was not glued properly where it wraps over the left toe, hence the 4-stars overall.

These shoes are very comfortable. No break in period for me and I took them on my trip to Spain before I had a chance to wear them. They look cool too. The toe is a bit rounded so do not make your feet look small.

Bought these for my husband. Great looking shoe! Not a ton of support, but great shoe to wear casually. Not for someone needing extra support.

Very nice looking shoe, though I have to buy new clothes to make them look good.

Great looking shoe. However, I wear orthotics and the shoe's insole was glued in. I had to rip the shoe's out in order to put mine in.

I've had these shoes for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm on the whole very satisfied. The styling is very good especially for a shoe that provides support to my flat feet. The largest problem I've run in to is a lack of grip. After entering a building from a rain storm I found the shoes wanted to slide all over the place until I got onto some carpet.

I bought the white/mixed black version. I love the look of these shoes just as much in person as I did online. The suede on mine looks more off-white than the picture online. It comes with an alternate pair of black laces. Unfortunately, I was surprised how little support there is. If you are looking for comfort primarily, I wouldn't recommend this shoe. My pumas that I am replacing were 10X more comfortable. However, I still like these very much because of the style. I just won't be wearing it for any long walks.

Not the most comfortable if you will be spending a tot of time on your feet. But they look great and are comfy enough.

I loved the style of the shoe...very cute! But the soles are hard as a rock (not good for long walks or if you work on your feet all day). The back of the shoe rubs high on the back of my heels. Even after wearing them for some time I have to wear band-aids to avoid blisters. I can wear 9 1/2 in most shoes but needed a 10 for these.

Overall good shoe. comfortable, lightweight. I never tried running in it, but I suspect it would not be adequate. There is not much support, these are mostly for casual wear. The white version I ordered got stained very easily and just reminded me why I had quit buying white shoes for many years. Overall I'm still pretty satisfied with the purchase.

Stylish, comfortable enough, note that the sole and logo are black not navy blue. Even in person it still looks navy blue though.

Good all-around shoe. They are comfortable for everyday wear, they look good with jeans or shorts, and they don't add a lot of bulk to your feet. I like the materials and the textures used on this shoe - very subtle, yet attractive. Originally I purchased an 8.5 (which is what I wear with most brands), and they felt a little snug. Returned them and ordered a 9. They fit much better, but are almost slightly too large. I feel that 9 is the better "fit". So I would suggest ordering a half size larger than what you normally wear.

This 8.5 was a rather large 8.5, and I should have guessed that would be the case based on the fact that this is a unisex shoe. I am disappoointed to send it back!

Excellent sneaker, although I'm starting to think they will be cold in the winter. On the flip-side: very breathable.

Great shoe. Third time buying this style over the last 3 years. Not the most comfortable (not bad though), but always get compliments on them.

The looks of these shoes are very sleek. But if you have wide feet, better think again before buying because they run a little bit narrow.

The shoes are as I had expected. The shoe is true to size and they fit perfectly.

I have owned many pairs of Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81s over the years. Typically I love them and wear them until they fall apart. This pair, I was disappointed with as soon as they came out of the box. The suede and the sole are a uniform shade of gray, not slightly different as they appear in this picture. Also the fabric is not as ventilated as other pairs, it's some modern ripstop material that makes my feet sweat. Lastly, the sole feels less supple and cushioning than other pairs I have owned. I think I will sell this pair to someone else and buy some Onitsuka Tiger Serranos - which are still quite comfortable.

I found this shoe when it was on sale. I was looking for a casual type shoe that looked great with shorts and jeans. This shoe can be worn in everyday wear as well as laid back parties/dinner with friends. Looks exactly like the picture and is true to size. If you have stability or any other pre-existing gait problems, then avoid this shoe. Has good arch support but not good for a lot of walking.

I love my Tigers, mainly because they are a very comfortable and streamlined looking sneaker. I always feel like a ninja when I wear them. Plus, zappos has an incredible selection of different colorways. If you are looking for an actual training or running shoe, these aren't it, but if you want a sleek and stylish everyday sneaker buy them immediately.

Nice shoe, made well, got compliments on the looks.

Very comfortable shoe. Walked everywhere during my 30 day europe trip and these shoes saved my feet.

Great pair of shoes for just going out and about. You buy these kind of shoes more for the look than anything. Only negative is that the shoe sizes tend to run smaller than normal. So I'd advise buying half a size up from your normal size. Also they are narrow shoes, so if you have wide feet, I wouldn't recommend these shoes for you.
