Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

I'm very happy with these shoes. They are my first pair of Asics. They're very light, good arch support, and very comfortable. They're also stylish and sharp: I wear them with jeans, but also like to mix it up and wear them with a button down and some nice pants. I hope they last longer than some of the sneakers I've bought in the $40-$60 range, since these were kind of a splurge for me.

I buy a pair every year even though I can still wear the old ones. My favorite sneaker ever. Very comfortable. Very durable. They are worth every penny.

Love the look of these, snappy and vintage! But, they felt a half size big--my foot felt like it was floating--so I'm trying a half size down. Note that I am a woman, so often man's shoes are wider, these don't feel too wide--just too big over all and I hope the half size down will work in this style.

I have owned several pairs of these shoes and absolutely love them. Classic style, well made, and very versatile. I've received compliments almost every time I wear them and the quality holds up. Zappos as usual has great service and I would highly recommend!

These are the most comfortable shoes that I've purchased in a long time. In fact, I was so happy with them that I've just ordered my second pair. The original pair was comfortable throughout its life and I'm finally retiring them after 2 years of constant use after the sole began to wear through. Had others 'in the know' comment to me about how they love the Onitsuka Tiger as well. Very highly recommended.

Ultimate 81 is the best pair of sneakers I have ever had! My first pair lasted for years, being intensely used (in fact I still have them and wear them only once in a while). They are the most comfortable, durable and come in beautiful colour combinations. I am buying my second pair now and will probably buy others in the future.

This is my 16th pair of Ultimate 81's. They are the most comfortable shoe ever made. I have peripheral neuropathy which is a condition that basic makes your feet feel like they are on fire is they are exposed. I wear my Tigers 24/7. I even have a pair that I wear to bed on really bad nights. They are easy to clean, just toss them into the washing machine.

Awesome shoes! Look closely at the magnified photos for a real look at the materials. Very comfortable rite out of the box and great to wear all day.

I bought these for my husband and he loves them. His exact words were that "they feel like stepping into a cloud". They come with 2 sets of laces, the gray pictured and yellow (if I recall correctly). I like the pops of color that are fun, but not overwhelming. Happy with the purchase.

Love these! I had another pair in the brand and liked them so much that i got them in another color.

Bought these in white/brown for myself so I had a good pair of walking shoes for my trip to Europe that didn't look too American touristy. These shoes are comfortable, I walked around in them all day without any problems. Moderate arch support. What I like most about these is their sporty, minimalist style.

Great semi-sport shoe for casual dresses. Comes with a variety of color options.

I bought my first pair of Onitsuka Tigers, and liked them so much that I bought my second pair a month later. That was four years ago. After wearing them almost every day, I have finally worn a tiny hole in one, so I have come to buy another pair. I never dreamed that I could wear a pair of shoes on 11 hour shifts without pain and that is without adding any fancy insoles. I wanted vegan shoes that were not completely lacking in support like Converse, or tacky looking like most raggedy hippy vegan shoes. These are the best shoes that I have ever owned and I doubt that I will buy anything else.

Comfortable stylish and lightweight. They size a bit big though it's not a problem if you're not trying to run in them.

Cinderella fit! I am a woman and wear an 8 or 8.5 in shoes, depending on manufacturer. The men's' 7, woman's 8.5 is perfect for me. My foot is on the narrow side of regular width, so I was worried that unisex shoes might be too wide, but these are just right. The shoe has a stylish low profile, nothing bulky about it. The arch offers good support. The are not as cushiony as I might have expected, especially under the ball of the foot/toes. My Keds Sportive T-toes feel comfier, by comparison. But these are very comfortable all-day shoes. I ordered the Drizzle color (gray and black with orange laces), and they are snazzy. The gray is a true medium gray and not as dark as charcoal, not as light as dove. They should hide stains/dirt pretty well.

I love these! I have a few pairs in different colors and they are all great. The only thing to keep in mind, is that for the shoes that have some gray/white meshy material, it gets dirty really quickly.

Great shoe. Can go through wear and tear and still look like new. Fits into your foot within a day, the back part is a bit unsupported, just feels like a thin layer of cushion, but you get used to it, and with a good sock its unnoticeable. Looks awesome and feels great! Definitely wouldn't be disappointed in purchasing this shoe.

These sneakers are amazing! Have purchased them in five different colors. They are lightweight, comfortable after a long day of use, and stylish. Couple all that with a reasonable price and you have a winning combo.

I bought my first pair for color alone (green for St. Patrick's Day). But I have since fallen in love with these shoes! I now own six pairs in various color combinations. They are very light weight and super comfortable. The quality is great with these as well.

I really like these shoes. I have three pairs in different color schemes. I am constantly getting complimented on them. I love the way they fit and they do not cause blisters. They are very true to size and I wear them almost every day! Arch support isn't 100% but I have weird feet and use inserts as well.

Awesome shoe! I've bought 4-5 pairs of this model over the past few years. I get complimented quite often on how stylish they are. Also, these are very comfortable & durable. I've never had a quality issue with any of the pairs I've bought in the past. I typically wear 13, but with these I always order size 12.

These are great. Very comfortable and lightweight. These are my second pair. There are a few different versions of this shoe-this styles is the most comfortable.

I love the Onitsuka Tigers! This is my second pair and I wore the last sole down to the nubs. Super comfortable and stylish. These are not for exercise (though perhaps you could use them that way) but for wearing with jeans or shorts, it's great.

I just got my pair in the mail today! The shipping was so incredibly quick and accurate. Packaging came in perfect condition -- shoes in tact with extra laces! Mine came with one shoe in a different colored lace and style. I think that is a really cool feature add. Laced the shoes up and like I said, they fit like a glove. Breathable, supportive, and pretty good-looking overall. If I had to pick one thing I didn't like (which is the only thing), it would be that the backs do come up a little higher than other shoes. I'm sure it'll wear after a little stretching form usage! If you're looking for a general pair of walk around/running shoes, you got it.

Easily my favorite pair of shoes. Super stylish and comfortable. I'll be wearing them for years.
