Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

These are one of the best shoes I've bought. They are very comfortable and true to size. They are also very inexpensive. They are great for a party or just to go do some shopping.

These shoes are extremely comfortable and a good subtle for kids who appreciate their sneakers. I personally was looking for something louder than I received, which was the white and green striped ones. I think I may return to Gola shoes instead.

I bought these shoes as part of my Black Mamba/Kill Bill Halloween outfit. I normally wear a 9N in Asics running shoes, so I had to order an 8 1/2M. The slightly smaller length allows me to wear the medium width (wouldn\'t work if I was actually to do anything athletic in them), but as a result the back of the shoe rubs my Achilles a bit; as long as I wear socks I\'m fine. They were perfect for the costume, and fly enough to wear after Halloween.

Cute shoe - more for everyday use than the gym. Overall I like these shoes. They seem a bit stiff, but I'm sure with time they will break in. My only real problem with these is that the quality seems a bit sketchy, and I'm not sure how long they will last. There are glue blobs all along the seams. Also, the heels are cut differently. When you look at these shoes from the back there is a sort of slope, and it is cut out crooked on one of mine. It doesn't seem to effect the way they feel when I walk, so I don't really care, but they just seem cheaply made.

Decent comfort for a good look - The shoe is not as comfortable as regular running shoe (obviously), and I found the arch supports to feel a little weird at first, but they do the job for walking. They're very light and a good look.

Great shoe, but for limited activities - If all you're interested in is a shoe to walk and stand around in, this shoe is great. It's almost like wearing slippers. Very light, flexible, and breathable. This is not like wearing a regular running or cross training shoe, nor is it like a heavy pair of skate shoes. I'm concerned it won't last very long because of how light it is, but time will tell. Overall very comfy and stylish for walking around town and driving, but don't even think about running or sports with these.

Less support, but still a comfy shoe... Although this shoe doesn't offer as much support as most, it is still fairly comfortable... and you get used to the feel within a few wears... Obviously, these are ridiculously stylish pieces of footwear for the price; a Mondo-supreme investment!

A slim lightweight shoe - I was looking for a lightweight sneaker with a minimal tread and a classic styling. I had looked at several Pumas but most are too narrow. These Onitsuka's are almost perfect. They don't have a lot of arch support so I will probably put some insoles in and I don't know how long they would last for someone with extreme over/underpronation since the uppers are mostly cloth. That said they are nice looking lightweight shoes that I use in the gym and walking around town with and have not had any issues.

Cute Shoe - Steel grey has a kind of denim look to it. They get compliments - and I like pointing out the 3 holes in the heel that made it a fancy running shoe back in the 80s. I definitely wouldn't wear them for running, but they are comfortable.

OTs For Life - This is 6th pair of Tigers and I'm fairly pleased with my purchase. I like the yellow, silver, and blue color scheme, but am not cray about the material used on the yellow part - it feels like plastic and gets dirty too easily. That said, Onitsuka Tigers are still my favorite shoe. I'll wear them until I die.

Good, but... Their styles are great and they fit the role of the common sneaker, but don't wear them too much. The soles tend to wear thin rather quickly giving you heel and knee trouble eventually, and they provide little to no arch support. They are cool to wear out for the day when they accompany an outfit, but comfortable they are not. Summer shoe, sure. Barefoot, maybe. Vegas, why not? Running or any type of sport, try again. Also, it depends on the style you get.

Very cool looking shoe. Wanted a pair of sneakers that looked good but were lightweight and went great with jeans. These definitely do. They are retro looking and I get a compliment almost every time I wear them. I had to return the first pair because they were 1/2 size too big. But very happy with this shoe.

Good once broken in a bit - Love the look of these shoes. They've got huge ankle support and fit nice and snug, the way I like. The back of the heel was a bit rough on me for the first few days (got a small blister), but once they started to wear and soften, they're quite comfortable. I rate these just slightly less comfortable than Adidas Universal shoes, my standard benchmark for comfort.

They looked too narrow to fit buuuut... Once I put on my 12.5 double grey Tigers I was HOOKED! They are everything and more. Great comfort, super light and they make me look forward to my daily walk to and from work now.
