Love the shoe. Been wearing it for over a month, feels great, fits well. Great summer casual shoe. Will buy another pair I am sure.

Like the shoe a lot. Very comfy. Only downside thus far is a little bit of heel rubbing. I think this might be remedied with the right sock, I've just been too lazy to try and figure it out yet.

I have been looking for a black shoe that fits just like this one - now that I've found it I'm so happy!

Feel great for everyday walking. Have bought these shoes in many different colors as the wear out. Satisfied every time. I have gotten them to last about 9 months of steady usage until the tread wears out and they start to look a bit too worn.

This particular version is my third pair of 81s. The shoe is lightweight and comfortable, which makes it my go-to choice. I like the Asics throwback styling that gives it a distinct look. Durability has been good, but I do tend to wear the soles down pretty quick, both insole and outsole. Note that this particular version of the 81s has a perforated insole, which to me looks better. My favorite part about the 81s is the many color variations to choose from, including some exclusive Zappos.

These shoes fit perfectly! They are super comfortable and stylish. I bought them for zumba and light workouts because they are flat and easy to move on the floor with.

Love these shoes. Perfect fit and ultra comfortable. Keep in mind that although the picture almost looks black...these are navy blue. The only negative is that the shiny material on the toe can crease up as it's quite rigid. Love the white/grey sole too - surprised it doesn't get dirty easily. They're amazing shoes - really unique for Ultimate 81s.

Great shoes, comfortable and lightweight. On my third pair now. Some say they are black, but they are a deep navy (look black in mid to low lighting).

I'm loving these shoes so far. Great for walking. They're very light and wide enough of my wide feet. Only concern is that the shoe breathes a LOT, so if you walk through wet grass your feet/socks are likely to get wet. Definitely a summer shoe.

I love these sneakers! I am a mom to an active one year old and I needed a pair of sneakers that I could wear to chase him around the playground, that were comfortable without looking orthopedic. I got these in black and they look great and are super comfortable! I always wear them with socks and there was no breaking in period at all. I have wide feet and I was worried that the sneakers looked kind of narrow, but once I loosened the shoelaces, it was not a problem. The tops are mesh, so sand from the playground gets into my shoes, and I think my feet will get wet when it rains, but they are nice and cool for the dry summer. These are great shoes!

I purchased these specifically for crossfit and love them. They are great for everything from olympic lifting to rope climbs. They are so comfortable that I just ordered another pair to use as daily wear.

Asics makes some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They're stylish, durable, and affordable. As far as Sneakers are concerned, I'm going to continue buying Asics for the foreseeable future.

I really like these shoes. They're very comfortable and they arrived exactly as pictured. They seem a little longer than my other pair of Onitsuka Tiger shoes.

Love these shoes. Super comfortable and lightweight. I would say they run slightly large. If you're like me, and are in-between sizes, size down. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8. Went with the women's 7.5, and they fit perfect.

Great shoes! I used to be an Adidas woman, now I think it'll be Asics. They are just too comfortable. I live in Seattle where the average person walks about 5 miles a day. I need arch support because I have high arches. This shoe actually has great arch support. I've been really surprised and happy! And the birch part is basically white.

The most comfortable shoes I have bought in a long time. I like them so much I think I am going to order the other two colors I was choosing between.

I bought these shoes because I really enjoy the style. I typically wear jeans when I am out casually and these shoes look and feel great during a day or night of running around. They are light, flexible, and easy to maintain. Zappos' exclusive colors also ensure that your Onitsukas are unique. Overall I am very happy with these shoes.

One of the best shoes ever made. I'm on my feet 8 - 10 hours a day and my feet never hurt. I'm on my 6th pair, not because they don't last. Because they are just so comfortable. I bought my first pair 7 years years ago and they still look great and feel great. I love how the Tigers still maintain a great look, yet evolve with new colors, materials and styles. Great heel and arch support. Just try one pair and you never by another sneaker again.

I got these shoes for work and since I work in a restaurant I need something with some serious comfort. Even though these shoes didn't have as high of a rating in support as other shoes, I chose them because they're a little more visually appealing than other work shoes. I have been happily surprised at how comfy they are, even after being on my feet for 8hrs. They're light, comfortable and give good support. And I love them because I can wear them around town when not working and still have a relatively stylish shoe on my foot! I have a slightly wider foot than normal but most shoes fit me fine (therefore ordered the normal width). These feel a little narrow on my foot so beware if you have wide feet. This has been my only regret with this shoe but to no fault to Asics. Otherwise I would recommend them to anyone and I'm even thinking of getting another pair in a different color.

I love my shoes...they came next day. The great news is when I call to speak with a rep. she was very friendly and very excited about my purchase as I was. I love this company.
