Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

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!

Bought these as Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He loves how comfortable and true to size they are. Thanks Zappos for super fast shipping!

I think I love these shoes. Some of the other reviews say that these are the only shoes they'll buy. This was my first pair of Tigers, and I've been won over. The shoes are comfortable and snug. They definitely were smaller than the size marked. I usually wear a 10.5 and I could barely get my feet into the shoes in that size. I went a half size larger, and it was just perfect.

Love this shoe. Tons of great colors, really comfortable...the only issue I've had is that if you have any white mesh material on the front, it can get dirty pretty quickly if you're out and about or wearing these around packed crowds. Great shoe though!

I have been wearing Ultimate 81s since 2007. I purchase a new pair once or twice a year, and am consistently beyond satisfied with the comfort of these shoes. I love that they aren't bulky, and are stylish yet still simply designed. No shoe has ever come close to feeling this natural on my foot for every day wear. I can spend all day walking around Manhattan without my feet ever feeling tired or achy. I constantly receive compliments on the looks of these sneakers. I absolutely love them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great everyday sneaker that is lightweight, extraordinarily comfortable, and stylish.

I got these for my husband while buying shoes for myself. He loves them and says they are very comfortable with decent arch support. He's gotten more compliments on these shoes than all of his others that cost far more. They are a very nice looking shoe for the price! The color combo is even prettier than it appears on the internet photos. Highly recommend these.

I bought these for my husband because I already owned a pair in the green. I love them and so does he. They are super cute and yet very comfortable.

I purchased these for use at the gym where I do cardiac maintenance. They are replacing a pair of Rock Ports which I've had for many years. I needed something less expensive because I am retired, and they'll be used only for exercise and no street wear. Have used them for a month or so and to this day they have done the job I expected. That is. no foot pain after walking for 30 minutes on a treadmill and another 30 minutes on a Nu-Step machine 3 times each week.

These are great, I've been wearing this make/model for 8 years or so. I usually go through 1 a year and just re-buy them in a different color. Lightweight, comfortable, stylish, and usually not expensive. Often find them on sale.

These shoes came quickly and are just perfect! They look great and fit my husband perfectly! It was a great gift for him and we will definately be shopping with you in the future!

I love the Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81. I have purchased three pairs of this style. They are very lightweight and comfortable with thin cushioning, which I prefer over thick cushioning.

The subtle hints of 3M material on the heel and tongue really give this shoe some personality. I bought these for my Mom and she loves them. They finally got her to wear athletic shoes casually and not just when she's at the gym. She wears them with jeans and black pants.

Great shoe. Looks great and fits nicely. And it comes with an extra pair of white laces in case you want to change the look up. Great for walking. Not the most cushy shoe but they fit your foot well and are perfectly fine for cruising around.

I bought these as a gift for my sister and she loves them. I now want a pair! Really nice looking sneakers. Arrived the day after I ordered! Awesome.

I bought these for my boyfriend, he loves them! I can't comment on the long term durability but he's been wearing them for 3 weeks and so far so good! He says they're comfortable and fit true to size.

The shoes arrived on time, perfect for Xmas! They look awesome and according to my husband are super comfy. He loves them and I love how they look.

Customer service was fabulous, shipped my order and I received it the very next day and the shoes were perfect!

Think these run a half size small. This is my second pair in several years, they hold up very well in my experience. Love the comfort and ground-hugging feel, good to walk in.

These are great shoes! This is my third pair of Tigers and have loved each pair. Styling and color combination is awesome on this pair with the lime green accents. These are true to size with my other pairs of shoes and my other tigers. Always a great experience with Zappos and the free overnight shipping is why I continue to shop with them. Just buy a pair already!
