Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

These shoes have the same comfort and support of my crosstrainers/running shoes but look so much better. Fantastic fit, not too narrow like similar styles.

Most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. I bought a pair two years ago and they still fit and feel great. If they get dirty, just throw them in the washer/dryer and they come out clean and in great shape. I wear them regularly and recently just got two more pairs. These are the perfect everyday sneaker.

Best shoes ever. Great kicks for a casual day out or a night at the club. Slip on and off with ease. I added the black laces for more balanced look.

Love this shoe. I've been wearing them for years and they have never let me down. Very stylish, quite comfortable. Definitely recommend giving them a shot!

So I'm wearing the shoes right now, tehy are pretty comfortable shoes. I would say I wish there was a strap on the back to get on the shoe quicker, I don't like the back guard as much as others would like.

These shoes are amazing. I just bought my third pair. I have owned both the leaf/grey and the grey/orange combos and really liked them both. I get compliments on them all the time. I use these shoes for everything -- everyday walking, hiking, and even running. They are really comfortable and have held up well over the last year of traveling the world. Very satisfied customer.

These are my new favorites. Quality materials, the details are perfect and most importantly, they are comfortable and feel awesome. Most shoes have a couple of wears until they are broken in. These felt that way the moment I tried them on. I'll definitely be replacing them when I've worn through them!

I have been wearing Onitsuka tigers for years so its tough for me to say if they run big or small but I like the ultimate 81 because it gives you more structure and cushion than the Mexico 66. A simple and useful tennis shoe.

I am excited to get these shoes in a half size larger. They are a bit narrow at the size I ordered and they also fit right to my toes...a bit too small. You may need a half size larger.

Great service as always. The shoe is exactly what I wanted. Good fit, though it runs perhaps a half size small, i.e. I usually wear 10.5-11 and 11 fits nicely., 10.5 would have been a little tight.

Do you wanna be just another "cool" guy and adopt another pair of Converse or Vans like every high schooler or skater punk in the known history of mankind has? Or do you want to prove an eager spirit to step outside of the frame, have some originality and own brand of shoe that most Americans dare not even dream of? If you are the latter, then get these shoes! Simply stated, there's nothing better.

Nice shoe and color scheme, fits true to size. Love it.

Excellent shoes! Very light, very stylish, very comfortable. This is my second pair of these shoes (first pair was a different color) and I love them! I highly recommend!

I really like the color I decided on (took me a while to decide as there were about 20 color combos to choose from), which was Drizzle/Black. I have not yet worn them for an extended period and too casual for work but they seem to fit my feet well and not rub anywhere. Seem well constructed.

I wanted a simple comfortable sneaker, not too flashy. I love the sole, it's not chunky nor flat and provides sufficient cushioning. Exactly what I was looking for.

Great sneakers! Really comfortable and super cute.

I like these very much. They fit well, and the pictures accurately reflect their true appearance. Also, they come with orange laces, too. I did not expect this, but I prefer them.

My boyfriend loves these shoes!

I really like the look and feel of these shoes. They are very comfortable. The only concern I have is with the quality of the sole which doesn't look like it will last long.

This is my third pair of Tigers, and in the foreseeable future don't see another sneaker of this type I'd purchase. I wear Chucks and Purcells, but these are my everyday sneakers. Comfort, design, and durability is second to none. Always a new color scheme so the next pair is not the same as the one before. Materials vary by color. I should work for Asics. Buy!

Let me just start off by saying that I truly believe that the Ultimate 81s are the best all around shoe you can buy. At the moment I have 14 different pairs. They can be used for anything; running errands, slightly formal occasions, going to the gym etc. Other than task specific footwear such as hiking boots or soccer cleats, this is the only pair of shoes I have owed since 2005. Fit wise, they are extremely true to size. Though you wouldn't be able to tell by the footprint, they are fairly wide and have no problem swallowing up my hobbit feet. The octopus inspired suckers on the bottom of the shoe provide ample grip on almost all surfaces. They are comfortable and supportive even if worn all day. If you want a handsome, athletic, casual, versatile everyday shoe, look no further than the Ultimate 81.

I ordered the ultimate 81 Asics for Crossfit and they are awesome, prob the most comfortable show I have ever had. I also work long hours in a hospital and am constantly on my feet and these shoes definitely are my favorite for that as well.

I think I'm on my 5th pair of Ultimate 81's. These are the only shoes I wear now. I wear them to work and I wear them outside of work. I usually have 2 pairs going at a time. The size is perfect and the styling is perfect. Unfortunately the price went up in the past few weeks but they are still worth it. They look good with jeans, and they look good with semi formal pants. You can't go wrong with these.

I recently bought these shoes and they are awesome looking shoes! The only reason I had to send them back is because I have a little arch in my foot and these shoes have a pretty big arch. Very uncomfortable for my feet had to return. Beware the arch!
