Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

I bought the black/steel grey and returned it back. To me they weren't as comfortable as some described. I felt like I'm walking barefoot. You'll fill everything! If you are looking for a soft cushiness feeling and it's not the right shoe.

The shoes are extremely comfortable. Another reviewer wrote that the back part of the shoe rubs up against your heel, I would disagree. Feels fine to me. I'm a size 10 ½, and I had to order a 9 ½ to fit me just perfectly.

These are immensely comfortable. I have worn these every day since purchasing them and have since purchased another set in a different color. They are definitely a great pair of shoes. The only problem that I noticed is that they wear out pretty fast for such expensive shoes. Otherwise, that are well worth it.

If you have been the type of person to wear skate shoes like Etnies or indoor soccer shoes like Adidas sambas then you should like the all day comfort of these shoes. I found them to be comfortable, stylish, and still good for my modest workouts. They have a decent cushion for running and are pretty light but will not compare to the modern running shoes that cost twice the price. For the price of these shoes they are awesome because they hit a lot of marks in the features you would want from a shoe.

A sleek shoe, very comfortable and long lasting. Have been buying Ultimate 81s for quite some time and each last me nearly 3 years before wearing through.

These are my new go-to sneakers. I have bigger feet (size 10) and sometimes sneakers make them look like boats but these are flattering and cute and I get compliments on them all the time. It was a nice touch that they came with a second set of laces (bright orange/red to match the stripe on the bottom of the army green ones), along with the plain white ones. I live in the city and walk a lot, and they've been comfortable from the first time I wore them - no blisters. I will definitely get other colors in the future.

Perfect fit, comfortable & stylish. I usually have issues with arch support but this sneaker offered much better support than others.

Just needed a plain, no flash, white shoe. If you're going to be walking around all day, and you really like comfort, I don't recommend this style for you. This shoe is more of a flatter shoe.

Love these shoes. I think this is my 5th or 6th pair. They are comfortable and light. They also came with and extra pair of yellow shoe laces! I usually wear a size 14 but these shoes I get in a size 13.

I love these shoes! They are super comfortable right out of the box and (so far) have not even shown a bit of wear. I have 2 kids who are always stepping on my feet and I live in a place that rains a lot but they still look brand new.

Excellent product, very comfortable, was really what I expected to get. The color combination is perfect for all occasions. I would buy again 10 pairs!

This is the third pair of Tigers I've ordered for my son. He loves them so much that he literally wore holes in the soles of them. They are the only shoes he will wear. Being a VIP Customer is great too! I got the shoes the very next day! Thanks Zappos for the great customer service!

I ordered 2 pair, black/steel grey in color, one 9 and one 9.5 with the intent of returning the pair that didn't fit. In 95% of other shoe brands I own I wear a 9.5 but with the Ultimate 81's I felt the 9 was the better fit. After receiving them, about 2 days from ordering, I put on a pair so I could kick around indoors to make sure they were the right fit before I cut the tag and decided to keep them, they were so comfortable I didn't want to take them off. I would suggest ordering at least 2 sizes due to the fact that about 20% of the customer reviews say they don't fit true to size. I'm glad I did so because I was one of the 20%. P.S. For all you smartphone owners I would definitely recommend the zappos app. it made it a breeze to order, track and return.

Very nice shoe. I found them true to size and very light. Great looking and you don't see them on everybody like other brands. I only wear them as a casual shoe and not for running or workouts.

I just love these shoes. They are so comfortable to wear. Do yourself a favor and get a pair or tow.

A lightweight, fashionable sneaker not commonly found on store shelves. More durable and cushioned than what I expected, yet still has a "barefoot" feel. This sneaker exceeded my expectations.

These are a bit different. The material is a stiff canvas, so they take more time to break in, and have a harder feel especially around the heel area. They come with extra laces (in orange). The sizing for me was large. I have 3 other pairs of Tigers, all in size 9.5 or 10. and when I ordered this pair (and also in the white color), I had to exchange them for size 9 (US sizing). With Zappos free and easy returns, you might want to order an extra pair in 1/2 size smaller just as backup.

I love these shoes! They are amazing! They look great and are incredibly comfortable. I plan to buy more in different colors.

One of the most comfortable yet stylish shoes. I get double takes and they are very fashionable. Will buy different colors of this style.

Definitely true to size. I ordered a size smaller than usual because my size was out of stock. Have to send back because, alas, they are indeed too small! Love this shoe, must find it elsewhere. :/

Took a few days to break in and mold into the shape of the foot, but it then fits very comfortably. The inner edge is made of leather instead of fabric which makes it feel more durable but it's not as soft as fabric would have been.

I bought these sneaks for work. They are very comfortable and the size is right. I wear a size 12 and these were exactly right, which is rare these days. I like them and they are pretty stylish. Plus my feet feel good in them all day. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a cool sneaker that's comfortable and fits.

I love these shoes. They are light, low to the ground, and look good in shorts and pants. I'm sure I'll be getting different colors soon.

Love this shoe, especially since there are vegetarian options as I try not to buy shoes with leather. It's comfortable and keeps my feet pretty warm in the cool fall weather here in NY. It's my first pair of Tiger shoes, and it'll definitely not be my last.

Favorite pair of shoes I've bought in a while. Received many compliments on the style -- really smart looking without being flashy. Comfortable, and they're holding up well to city walking.
