Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Love the shoes, I needed a pair for casual wear, these are perfect, young are very trendy shoes. The Laces are slightly bright but you can always change them if you want. They go very well with jeans. the cushion is not as thick as any cross training or running shoes so don't compare those. They are light and comfortable. Good for walking, wouldn't recommend them for running.

Somewhat high arch, not uncomfortable though. Does run a bit slim on the sides. I usually wear Vans so they are a bit different. Overall good shoe, highly recommended.

A good sneaker - only been on two walks in them so far, but they seem comfy. However, I have one slight qualm, hence the four stars. I had these same sneakers (or at least they looked just about the same) about ten years ago, and the mesh part on the toe was much more breathable. On the new ones, there is a lining under the mesh that somewhat inhibits air flow. Still happy with my purchase, but my toes are a little disappointed in the lack of breeze.

I bought these shoes for my husband before we went on a trip to Italy for two weeks. He needed something comfortable to walk around in, but something that looked a little nicer than regular running shoes. These were perfect! They looked great and he was able to walk for miles a day in complete comfort! Thanks Zappos!

When I first purchased them I wasn't really too sure whether I should keep them or not because I was mainly looking for work out shoes. I bought a different pair but decided to keep these anyway because they looked nice. Wore them a few times and to this day I can't get over how comfortable they are. I don't get tired easily and my friends seem to like my shoes.

The Onitsuka Tiger shoes are exactly what they are made to be, running shoes. I however typically go for shoes based on looks rather than performance, which which isn't such a good move for a tennis player. A few weeks and matches in from their first run, wear and tear is showing around the front of the shoes, the high-impact area. The treads have been completely rubbed away at parts and some top-stitching is coming undone, keeping in mind these are running shoes, which would probably last longer for a less intense use. Durability aside, the shoes are not completely broken in after about a month of wear; they don't conform to my foot's arch as of yet. The design of the shoe stands for itself; fabulous red body with aesthetically-pleasing, vibrant yellow stripes? Fantastic. I recommend these shoes for casual wear, possible running, but not for serious tennis play.

Very happy with these. They run really small. I usually wear a 10 or 10 1/2 but with these I wear a 9 1/2 and probably would have been okay in a 9. Not the greatest insole/arch support, but I don't expect most shoes to have it. Otherwise, very comfortable and they look great!

This is a great shoe with a lot of comfort and style. I get a good amount of compliments when I go out and they are pretty good to work out in too. Only downside is they squeak like all hell when you first break them in. After a day or so however you should be good to go.

These are fantastic, extremely light, yet supportive shoes. They're super comfortable, they look great, and did I mention they were comfortable? However, don't expect to get them wet and especially if you have a lighter color they tend to get dirty easily. That's the only reason for 4 stars.

These shoes are so awesome. They have comfy insoles that are supportive and nice to walk on. Also the color is pretty dead on to the online picture. Bright red with an almost cornflower blue at the bottom. Highly recommend.

Fit great, comfortable, and look good. I’m not a hard core runner, but these have been good for jogging and look nice enough to wear for errands. I have wide feet and these feel good.

Cool shoes. Very comfortable. Lots o' style and comfort at such a low price point! Fits my narrow foot well, so they probably run a tad narrow.

Pretty sweet. Nice cleaned up look. Very breathable summer shoe. Only issue is they squeak a little bit when you break ‘em in.

Shoes are comfortable and have a snug fit, very light construction overall, and not much extra material (the sides and upper part of the shoe are all relatively thin without much additional padding, but that’s not a bad thing) as opposed to other more modern shoes. I’d definitely buy these again and am thinking about another pair from the same manufacturer.

Very stylish, but not very comfortable. Don't buy if you plan on going running in them. Okay for day to day walking. Also despite what the product page says, they aren't real leather - they're synthetic. This wasn't a problem for me but might be for some others.

They are super cute! Unfortunately, they hurt my feet when I first got them. They rubbed against the back of my ankle so I had to purchase newer, taller and thicker socks. But now they're great! Love them!

Ordering on Zappos was very easy. The short videos and descriptions help to make selecting easier. The shoe was what I was hoping for when I chose it. I was pleased with my purchase.

These shoes are fantastic. They’re super comfortable and go ridiculously well with a pair of jeans and a casual top. Moreover, they’re easy to keep clean. As usual with Asics, however, the white rubber on the sides of the soles is impossible to keep clean; I have yet to find a product or a scrubbing method that can restore the white rubber on the sides of the soles back to its awesomely bright white self. Pros: Comfy! I’ve walked in them for hours on end across a variety of surfaces and my feet never complained. They fit very well. My feet are a little wider than average, but at my measured length, they fit perfectly. The uppers are very easy to keep clean. Cons: As usual with Asics, the rubber on the sides of the soles are impossible to keep clean. I’ve tried just about everything I can think of on numerous pairs of Asics and the rubber on the sides of the soles still gets irreversibly dingy within a week. One star off of the overall rating for this. Bonus! They came with two sets of laces - one white and one orange that matches the orange rubber on the tops of the soles. As usual, Zappos was fantastic. Easy website, and shipping was incredibly fast.

I bought these shoes for my sister as a gift. She really likes them. She tells me that it is not as comfortable as she hoped them to be. She uses them for work and she is standing most of the day. She puts in the Dr. Scholls slip in and it makes the comfort level better. However, due to the slip-in, the top of her foot feels a little crushed. We definitely love the look of these shoes so we\'ll side step the comfort level. I plan to buy another pair for myself soon!

Wanted something that would go from work (where I'm on my feet all day) to the gym (where my exercise of choice is glamorous speed walking) and back again without making me look like too much like the jock I am not. The Onitsuka Tigers do the trick! I got lots of compliments on how great they looked and they felt amazing. Ordered a half a size up (as was recommended I do with workout shoes) and I would say they felt just as they should. Also, these shoes didn't need any breaking in, which I didn't think was possible. The only reason I gave 4 stars overall was that Zappos was out of stock on most colors.

Great sneakers! They are fun colors and comfortable. True to size.

I really like the style of this shoe although it looks different in person. (it's more of a denim material) Its casual yet a little sporty. my only complaint is that there is little arch support, but I have high arches so that probably wont be an issue for a lot of people.

The men's size 10s were too big. Recommend that you get a men's 9.5 if you're feet are a 10.

Just got mine in this afternoon! I love the look of them! I went with the blue and yellow combination and may just end up buying a whole bunch of pairs in the other colors. I like them that much! I've worn them for about three hours of constant walking and will admit that the top of the heel is rubbing a blister on my Achilles tendons. I think that when broken in this will no longer be a problem. I'm just not used to having anything hit that part of my foot. I do have a small and narrow foot and haven't had any trouble with the width. The length is perhaps a half size shorter than stated. However, I will definitely recommend them.
