Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

These are great shoes! I love Asics because they are so comfortable. I am a teacher and I am often on my feet all day. Sometimes I wear them at work with dress pants when I need extra comfort and support. They actually look good.

Love these shoes. They're super comfortable and look great. They have a slim profile, so they are easily worn with slim pants - which many shoes can't. Get 'em.

Feel great. Very Comfy, being on your feet all day. And very easy to wash. The dark sole doesn't stain, so they can always look fresh and new.

I love this shoe. It took a few wears to get used to the high instep in my right shoe (don't know why it didn't bother my left foot). But all in all, I am happy with my purchase.

I have several pairs of these of the 70s style, and this is the first of the 80s I've tried. They are very comfortable and surprisingly supportive, but I don't wear them to run, only during normal daytime activity. I think the best thing about this shoe is the color, the green is great, and it receives many compliments. Overall I have been extremely pleased with all of my Onitsuka Tigers and would recommend for both comfort and styling.

These shoes are great. I have wide feet and these shoes provide room for my feet to fit in to them. Other shoes will press against the side of my feet making the shoe feel horrible. These can accomodate a wide range of foot widths making them comfortable even for those of us with wider feet. I can get the length I want without having to just get a larger size.

I love these. I like the style and that they come in so many colors. I just got my second pair. My only complaint is that the insoles are hard! For both pairs I had to rip out the glued-in insole and put in a store-bought version. They feel much better now with a little more cushioning.

These shoes are so comfortable! I had another pair in high school and when I saw the white/black, I had to have them. I have wide-ish feet, and they fit so well. Lots of room in the toe box.

This is the best sneaker I've ever worn. It's comfortable, stylish, good support and they even make my large size 9 feet look small! I will only buy the Onitsuka Tiger from now on.

These are the most comfortable shoes I own. Although, when I first got them I wore low ankle socks and the top of the heel area rubbed the back of my ankle raw. So now I wear higher socks and I don't have this problem. The shoes are fairly light and flexible. I love them.

So this is my first pair of Onitsuka Tigers by Asics. I am usually a classic Vans guy but I wanted to try something new. I got the size 12 (my size) and was happy with the comfort and style of the shoe. But the 12 felt just half size too big. So I ordered the 11½ and got them in the mail today. They are the perfect shoes. I am hooked. Asics for life!

Great shoe. However, the sizing chart is a little off. I ordered an 8, and was skeptical of doing such because i usually wear a 7.5 The 8 was too big.

Great shoes that really hold up well. My last pair of 81s were bought in 2009 and are in excellent shape other than a worn out sole. These new shoes appear to be of similar quality and comfort. They may have changed their sizing slightly; I had to buy a half size larger than the old pair.

A bit more substantial than other Tiger shows with the same great look and comfort. This isn't my first pair.

If you need arch support this is the shoe for you. Fits true to size. Super comfy, you will not be dissapointed. Buy them!

These shoes are beautiful. Having not owned a pair of tigers before, I wasn't sure what to expect. The fit reminds me of Puma, but a little wider. They are supremely comfortable and I feel like I could walk forever in them. And looks wise they're pretty slick!

I needed a shoe I felt comfortable wearing to work and other professional environments both in appearance and for utility/comfort. This shoe met both of my standards, I would recommend it.

This is my 5th pair of Tigers over the last 6 years. I love them. Comfortable (especially arch support), durable, and they look great. I wear these things out over a few years of over-use.

Bought for my husband for casual wear. He likes them and says they're comfortable. He wears them out and about. Just a note: ordered the "light grey/captain blue" and in the photo the base color (not the trim) is a very light grey but the actual color when we received them is a darker medium grey. Liked the color in the photo better but it's not a big deal.

I loved it. Normally I'm hard pressed to trust a brand I've not been living in but this shoe has given me life. Not only is it stylish but its comfortable as well. Well worth the cash and am already eying another pair.

Zappos was very helpful with the process of purchase and also they met there timeline. I am glad I used for first time because now I know I can purchase with them with no hassle.

I bought my boyfriend these shoes over 2 years ago and Zappos is now the ONLY place that carries them! I had to wait a couple months for them to be in stock but so glad they have not been discontinued.

I am very confused about this product, as all the colors are supposed to be the same model, but they are clearly not. I had a white version which does not appear to be available any longer, and they were literally the most comfortable shoes that I have ever had in my life: for walking, running, and anything else. The second time, I bought the black pair (with white stripes) and they were absolutely terrible: clearly inferior materials, much less comfortable, and irritated my ankles when I walked long distances. Then I went back and bought the grey ones, which looked more similar to the white, and sure enough they were the same amazing shoes that I loved! So it is not an issue of changes in manufacturing, they are actually two different kinds of shoes being marketed as one. Before buying these shoes, I would look closely at the photo and make sure you are buying a color that has the mesh type of front - these are the higher quality shoes. The others are absolutely terrible, I do not understand how they are the same style. If I ever accidentally buy the second kind again I will immediately return them, that is how bad they are. And the others are, as I said, literally the best shoes that I have ever had!

I love these shoes! I buy a new pair about once a year. I walk extensively in these shoes and they are comfortable and durable. The sizing is a little tricky - I normally wear a women's 7, but end up in a women's 6/men's 4½ in these. One time I needed a 6½ instead. I do not know if there is something about the conversion between the unisex size designation and women's sizing, but at least shipping is free if the size does not work out.

Great shoe, very comfortable and stylish! Will definitely be buying the same brand and possibly other colors of this exact shoe! Size is perfect and has the best arch support I've come across. Highly recommended!
