Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

I bought the White/Black/Fire and wore them almost every day and night while in college. In fact, my roommate saw them when I got them and said "are those your Tigers down there?!" They look great, breath great and are an all around great shoe. Definitely recommended for the style and comfort! A style to match any wardrobe to boot!

I absolutely love these shoes. I get so many compliments on them, and they are super comfortable. They were the best purchase ever.

This line of Asics are great. They are light-weight, comfortable, and endlessly styling. I've never had a pair fall apart on me and will buy many more to come.

Stylish and comfortable sneaker. More support and cushioning than the Mexico 66. Comes with red and white laces - would have liked navy blue laces to match the shoe.

I love these shoes so much. They are a lot more comfortable and better looking than comparable Adidas and Nike shoes. The heel part does not rub, it's perfect. The width is perfect. Sizing feels true (11 men). Arch support is just right. Some shoes have either too aggressive arch support or none at all. The Ultimate 81s are perfect for me. They are really light weight. Very sleek-looking modern but retro black on black styling. Can happily walk all day in urban terrain. Very quiet and buoyant stepping. Not the best tread for wilderness walking, but that's not what these shoes are for. They're simply the best sneakers I've ever owned. So many colors, I'll be coming back for more!

I love these shoes. I have purchased multiple pairs, which last quite a while, and have been very happy. I am an RN, so good shoes are critical. These fulfilled all of my expectations. They are light weight, wash very well in the washing machine and dry well in the dryer. If you get them wet, they dry quickly. I love these shoes and will keep purchasing them.

My son really likes these sneakers. They are comfortable and he also likes the colors. He is very picky, so I am glad that these have worked out so well.

These are awesome shoes. I love the colors and I love how breathable they are. I have wide feet and they fit me very well. Oh, they are very comfortable. I own these shoes in four different colors.

My favorite pair shoes in my closet. They are so comfortable and stylish. I'm buying a second pair soon. I just have to decide which color is next.

Stylish and comfy everyday sneakers. As with most Asics, they fit well on a guy like me who has wider feet than most (with other brands I sometimes have to buy a size larger to get a comfortable width). They don't breathe as well as my last pair of Asics kicks that were more 'meshy', but the tradeoff is that they're more waterproof. Though I wouldn't jump in any puddles with them.

I feel like I've already written a review on these shoes, but I felt the need to update after having a pair for 2 years and owning 2 additional new pairs. I'd have to say these are one of the best shoes I own. I use one pair particularly for working out, and the others for casual-wear. Shoes are light and breathable. If you're used to flatter shoes such as vans/converse, these shoes will take some getting used to at first, but it's well worth it with the moderate arch support. In terms for using these for working out, I say they work best for crossfit, I haven't tried running with these for a marathon or anything but they hold up well on the treadmill and especially outdoors-the grip is excellent. These aren't super flexible like Nike free runs, but flexible enough. I'd say these shoes are the best all around shoe-training or casual! If you want an excellent all around shoe, bet these. I know they got pricier but it is worth it, my only complaint is they squeak when they get wet on some floors (ex. Supermarkets) haha it goes away after long term use though. Hope this review helps!

I love these shoes. Bought them in the past so I knew which size to buy. Great color, width and length. You also get a spare pair of laces. Will buy again for sure.

Great comfortable sneakers with a low profile. With this color combo, goes with anything. Good for crosstraining with the flat sole or just walking around.

Very comfy and casual, almost like barefoot walking. I'm 45 and this pair of Tigers are the first, well they did not let me down, let me tell ya.

They look great! And not to mention Zappos delivered this so fast I am so amazed. Great customer service and great shoes!

Really great shoes. More support than other sneakers in the "lifestyle" category without losing good looks. Shape and materials are both solid. Also, these come with two sets of laces in case you want to switch things up. Very happy with the purchase.

At first I thought the shoes were too small, but they stretched out just enough to feel secure but not constricting. Otherwise they are comfortable and great to wear all day. The backs are higher than other sneakers that I've worn, but I expected that. I am glad that I don't need to add extra cushions or inserts for these shoes, and standing around in them for an evening doesn't make my feet feel tired like they do in my Simple sneakers. When these shoes wear out I'll likely buy another pair of the same kind.

I love these shoes, I get nonstop compliments too! Color is great and the shoes breathe so well. Also, ordered on Saturday and they arrived on Monday with free shipping! Amazing!

Let me start by saying that my feet are 8½WW and I have pretty high arches. So, you can understand that I have trouble finding shoes that fit easily. Especially shoes that cover my entire feet, such as these. I read all the reviews on Zappos and ordered a nine (7½ men's). Well, they fit perfectly. Snug but not restrictive (like thick socks.) I have worn them for two entire days without any pain or chaffing. The mesh fabric on top is flexible enough to adapt to your foot width. And the swede stripes across the top of the foot do not start until the laces do, so you can loosen that part up. Did I mention that they are also really cute and trendy - they look awesome with shorts or crops and no-show socks.

These shoes are really comfortable. If you have a wide foot this is the shoe for you. It's nice looking and great to walk in.

Love it just like I love the other Onitsuka Tiger shoes. They break in well and are so comfortable. The color goes with everything.

Excellent shoe. Description and picture is spot on. Will definitely buy another pair in a different color.

I've had this shoe for about 2 months. They've held up well and are very comfortable and stylish. The rubber at the toe is showing a small amount of wear, and a few threads are coming undone, but otherwise it's in fine shape. The Black/Steel Grey is a good color combination and stays looking clean. I plan to buy this exact same shoe when my current ones wear out, which is something I've never done before.
