Adorable, comfortable for a gal with sensitive and wide feet. This is my 5th pair of Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81s. The arch support gets better once you break them in.

I bought these for my son who is a Parkour coach and athlete. They ran a bit big which is important because of the arch support. He went down a size and, according to him, "They are better than barefoot". Trust me, you cant get a better review than that.

Love the way they look on my feet, tennis shoes can tend to look chunky on me. They are comfortable enough but not for all day wear. I wore them to an amusement park - which was a very long day, and I was ready to get out of them. The support is decent but as much cushion as other tennis shoes. I say these are more of a cute statement shoe. Oh, and as a female, I think they can a male or female can wear them. My husband actually liked them too.

This is a great shoe. A bit lighter and thinner-soled than I might have thought, but very comfortable. Construction seems particularly good so far, especially for the price. Arch support is very modest, but adequate for me. All-in-all, an easy recommendation.

Have worn these shoes heavily for just over 2 years, and they've held up commendably. Extremely light, but still quite weather-resistant. I wear them at the office, running, biking, and pretty much everywhere. Can be worn loose, or laced up tight for sports activities. They're great all-around shoes. The most noticeable wear I've seen is the sole peeling up where it wraps around the toe. Not sure if that's just because of how I walk in them, but if you're savvy with glue, it could probably be fixed. That didn't really become apparent until after 1 year of use, so if you're only planning on wearing them for 1 year, you should be good to go. Also the tread on the bottom has surprisingly stayed quite intact, and I find that I've still got decent grip on ice in the winter. Overall, an excellent shoe, and I just ordered another pair.

Love the color combo! Have worn Ultimate 81 Tigers for 15 years and really enjoy this fresh combo. Not too bright, not too boring, it is just right.

These shoes are most comfortable and fit perfectly. I've ordered a second pair as I like them so much. I also like that they are vegan friendly and look great.

Super cute and stylish but more for looks than for sport. Not much arch support but look great with jeans and are comfortable for running around on a Saturday.

Awesome sneakers. They look great, I've gotten compliments from strangers on them, that never happens to me. Sizing was good, they've held up pretty well to normal wear over the past 6 months.

I love these shoes! Great look and incredibly comfortable! I have other Onitsuka Tiger by Asics shoes (love them all - my 'go to' brand)but these are my current favorites!

This is my second pair of these. 3rd if I count the ones I had when I was a little kid. I love them. They are comfortable, cool, and simple.

Ordered these for my son - who does Parkour training - he absolutely loves them. Also wears them to track training. Great shoe - good grip, very flexible and light.

Ordered these Monday morning and it was on my door step two days later!
These shoes are quite stylish and comfortable and really helps with my low arches. Feels like I'm walking on air. I have a feeling that these will be my go to sneaker for when I'm going out with friends. Highly recommended!

They look really smart and are great for walking or for a casual afternoon/evening in the city. I got them to replace a pair of New Balance Minimus, which I found to be great summer/casual/walking shoes. After a few test runs of having to walk all day, I can say I am quite pleased. These shoes run a little small, but only just -- they are in Euro size, so maybe consider bumping your number up (43 to 44) rather than go for a half size larger.

I received these today, ordered 2 different sizes so I wouldn't have to exchange. My regular size fit perfect! These shoes are comfortable right out of the box, no breaking in required. They are very light and surprisingly well cushioned and the arch support is noticeable, too. I don't know how well these will hold up but first impression is great!

The shoes look great! They also have nice arch support. They are smaller than you might expect (9.5 mens is usually a roomy fit for me, and my 9.5 Tigers are a good but snug fit).

I fell in love with the stylish stripes of these Tigers and ordered them with my fingers crossed. Well, they have turned out to be my favorite sports shoes. I still like just looking at them!

Very good looking urban sneaker. Comes with an extra pair of coordinating laces (cool!). They do come up pretty high in the back, so choose your sock carefully.

These are wonderful! I'm usually an Adidas originals fan but I haven't had much luck with them lately because the sizing has felt inconsistent. The Onitsuka Tiger felt like they were made for my feet. I especially like how the back part with the Tiger logo comes up higher and protects my thin skin on that area from blisters. I've never had a white sneaker but the white/black/red ones were just too cute to resist. I have a feeling these will be the 1st of many Tigers I buy. And as always, Zappos rocks!

These have become my favorite go-to sneakers they go wit work out clothes, jeans and t-shirt, and even make a dress outfit look more casual and comfy. I usually have to wear orthotic inserts for mainly arch support but the insole in the shoe seems to be enough and my feet don't feel tired at all after a full-day's work on my feet. Very comfortable and they look great. The tail is a bit long and rubs at first but it molds fine to my ankle/achilles tendon after a couple of wears.

I've bought roughly 5 pairs now. I love this shoe. They work great for walking, running, hiking or just being around town. The build quality is excellent. As is the styling and longevity of the shoes. Not the best if it's really wet out however (rain hiking/running). But I live in the PNW and I wear them out all the time!
