Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

This stylish shoe has a slim silhouette and good arch support. However, the soles are too thin. You can feel every pebble or bit of uneven pavement when you walk.

Been wearing 81s for many years. Bu far, my favorite casual sneaker. Super light, comfortable, and look great w/ jeans or shorts. The only problem is w/ the sole at the tip of the toe. Every pair I’ve had, the tip of the sole eventually starts to come unglued. This is the only issue I have w/ these sneakers, but it’s a big one! Not sure why they can’t redesign or use different adhesive so this doesn’t happen.

I had a prior version of this same sneaker, that I probably got in 2020 or so. This never version looks 'cheaper'. The sneaker feels lighter, and much of the body of the sneaker is made of like a synthetic 'mesh' type fabric.

love the style and fit and comfort. was disappointed with the quality however. see image, this was observed just 2-3 few week of very light usage.

Beautiful shoe but it is very thin in the sole, like, flip-flop thin.

Fit, style and overall appearance good. But the arch support and insole hard and uncomfortable. Also a seam/ protrusion pressing into R toe above the joint on L side.

Looked great, but was at least a half size smaller and quite narrow.

You can't return them if you wear them, you can't tell if they fit if you wear them.

I think my feet will get very hot in these.

So first off, they look so good on and I found they fit like a glove. The biggest downside for me (for which I decided to deduct two stars) is that they look and feel so cheap for the price. I expect a lot more for this price point. The stripes look very cheap and synthetic and the glue job is super obvious and a little messy in places. I’ve having a hard time because I really want to keep them based on the style/fit but I’m convinced they are not made to last and it’s a lot of money to waste on shoes I won’t get a few years out of.

Sharp looking shoe, if you are only looking for something to go to work in or go out in. But otherwise, I can't see doing anything athletic, or even walking a decent distance in these. There is very little padding in the bottom, and the balls of your feet feel like there is barely anything between them and the ground. Again, if you're just looking for something to look good in, it's a sharp shoe. But if you're thinking of doing anything athletic, I'd look for something else.

I really love the look of these shoes and they're really comfy. Unfortunately, just a couple months after buying (and wearing say once a week) the sole started to peel in the front. I still wear them, but they look a bit beat up.

It's really difficult to find sneakers that don't look special needs, or have a foot of rubber under them, or are clunky. Especially when you have a wide women's 10 foot. I had some hope for these, but not a lot, and true to my expectations, these were too snug. I suppose they could stretch a bit, but I'm not willing to take that risk. Plus with socks..forget it. I also don't think they will hold up well, being "vegan", especially at this price point. They look delicate. Returned.

The fit and style were good. I was hoping for a bit of support since I'm on my feet all day.

The inner side of my foot felt fine, but the outer side of my foot (e.g. the pinky toe) felt extremely cramped. They are a bit narrow and/or not shaped the way I would hope. If you have very narrow and flat feet, you might be fine. I have to return these, which is a bummer because the look is great.

The size was a half size larger than expected. Minimal arch support. Nice color, but had to return.

I just moved to size 11 in women's shoes & have had trouble finding the colors I want. This is the first time I tried a man's 9 1/2 & the fit was fine & I liked the color. However there is no support. The tag on the shoe does say not to use as an athletic shoe.

I wanted to love this shoe. It was comfortable but my toe was hitting the end. I ordered an 8 but need to order at least a half size larger.

I like the style of these but found them to be really flat and lacking support.

I bought a size 7 mens /8.5 Womens size and it fit me perfectly. I liked the larger toe box feel. I bought the womens and it was more restrictive. The fit was the best thing about this shoe. The quality was lacking. the inside of the shoe was very hard, if you press it down there is no cushion, or give to it. I'm not even sure how others are wearing these, unless its just the pair I got. Its on par with walking on a hard wood floor feel. I was going to try to rip out the insole, but I felt that wasn't worth it for these shoes. Sadly they are going back. Looks great, fit great, feels terrible.

very cute but the foot bed was too hard.i have painful feet

Cute, but only comfortable short term. Definitely not meant for working on your feet for 8 hours at a time but just for casual wear would probably be okay. Can't imagine actually running in these, you would destroy your feet.

Ok shoes- just a little flat and squeaky

Love Asics but these don't fit as well as the others.
