Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Comfortable shoe. Not meant for running or exercise. Stylish and decent for walking.

This is my 2nd pair of Onitsuka shoes and I love them. I wear them every day and am an active person. The first pair lasted over 3 years with daily abuse. This second pair is hardly showing wear after 6 months. On this style I wasn't sure how they'd break in, as they were stiff, but they are perfect. The footbed cushion breaks down, though, so I wouldn't recommend them if you get achy feet easily.

Why can't you have the jet black/white combo in stock Zappos? WHY? I'm begging you! These are the most comfortable, affordable, and stylish shoes I have ever worn--and did I mention durable? I wear them for EVERY type of event, and they are still in tact after all of those wonderful miles of walking, running, jumping, etc together!!!

This is a beautiful designed shoe that appears to be very well made. Do note that the men size is Medium.

The Ultimate 81's by Onitsuka Tiger are by far the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn. I now own three pairs and plan to purchase more in the near future. Great shoe and great brand.

Onitsuka Tigers have always been a favorite of mine, and the Zappos exclusive leaf, green, and white-colored pair of Ultimate 81s is the best OTs that I have worn so far. I was not drawn to the greenish colors at first, but the contrasting orange on the sole kept these shoes in the back of my head while I narrowed down my options. Ultimately, I decided to go with it as my second choice (with my first being unavailable in my size), and I am glad that I did. Although the pictures hint at it, the two green materials on the shoes have a wonderfully strong visual texture that turns the moderately bland coloration into something striking and intelligent. The orange on the sole is a bright, beautiful contrast that gives the shoes an appropriate feeling of fun without making it feel too bright or candyish or immature. I did not expect this, but the shoes are perfect casual work shoes for me, and I am wishing that I had a second pair just for that. And though not pictured or mentioned in the description, the shoes came with a second set of laces in orange, just in case you do want to add a bit more eye-catchiness. The vegan uppers were a major selling point for me. By getting rid of the typical suede that my last dozen or so pairs of shoes were made from, the Ultimate 81s opened up to great new material options, but despite the material change, the fit stayed exactly the same for me. These are great shoes, and I plan to grab a few more pairs of Ultimate 81s in different colors.

These shoes are super cool and super comfortable. I love the colors and the rubbery sole. They have some arch support built and feel so right when you put them on. You won't be disappointed.

These are light and comfy and sporty and look exactly as pictured. I think I might buy these shoes in various colors for years to come!

These are very light-weight, minimal support comfortable walking sneakers. I bought them to walk to work in (two miles one way) and I like the retro style. Cute with jeans. Not quite as comfortable as my Saucony Bullet sneakers, but I am still very happy with them.

One of the best shoes out there but the best colors sell out in 10.5 so fast its crazy so get them while you can!

Super comfortable - ordered true to size (12.5) and felt a bit tight at first but after a day or two of walking it feels like it conforms perfectly to my foot! Slight amount of arch support and almost no cushioning - great for feeling the ground and walking naturally.

I love my new tennies! They are extremely comfortable and very attractive. They have interchangeable laces. If you want a great pair of tennis shoes, buy these!

I wanted to find some walking shoes that were both comfortable and somewhat fashionable to wear with jeans. These are perfect! The charcoal color is very neutral and goes with almost everything I would normally wear on weekends. I usually wear either a 5.5 or a 6 and I went with the 6.

Bought this item as a gift and the color is really stunning! I'm in love with all my Onitsuka orders from Zappos. Never fails my expectations.

Great shoes and great price. This is my go to shoe on the weekends. I would not recommend for athletic use. Overall a very comfortable shoe.

These are great shoes, but they seem to be running smaller than my previous pair from a year or so ago. It might be the material. My other pair had suede, leather and fabric.

I purchased the gray shoe with the black markings. I have wide feet and the mesh on this specific color allows for more flexibility and room. I've tried on some of the other styles and, for whatever reason, if they have a fabric cover and not a mesh one, they tend to not be as roomy or flexible. That being said, the shoe looks great and is a great day-to-day walking shoe.

I've owned these bad boys for well over a year and they are still going strong. I love them now as much as I did when I got them. Super comfortable and super lightweight.

Super cute and comfortable - walked all around Europe in them and my feet felt great. Low profile enough that I didn't feel like I was wearing sneakers.

Love the shoes. They aren't the best for long walks but they sure work for every day life.

My husband loves these and wears them all the time.

Very stylish shoe, not so much on the comfortable side if standing up for long periods, but overall satisfied.

Super lightweight! Very comfy, could have a little more arch support for my taste. Overall I could stand/run in these shoes all day.

I love Zappos. Fast shipping, free returns, and no hassle. I work 12 hour shifts at a busy hospital. So a comfortable shoes is a must! Unfortunately, these shoes do not have enough arch support. They didn't make the cut. Nonetheless they are really cute and make a great casual shoe.

Over the last ten years I have come to own eight pairs of Onitsuka Tiger Asics. These are my absolute favorite sneakers. They are comfortable and last a long time. Sizes run a little big. Generally I am a 9.5 to a 10 in women's, and a 7.5 to a 8 in men's. In these I am a 7.5. All around 5 stars!
