Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

I've been wearing Tigers for several years now--they are super comfortable and perfect for commuting and casual weekend wear with jeans. Bought this pair for my husband, who is now also a fan. Good arch support, cushion-y inside. Also like that there are so many color combos, so every time I re-order a pair I feel like I'm really getting a new pair of shoes.

I love how lightweight and comfortable these shoes are for my feet. I had some heel issues in the past and I was a little leery on the support, but they are great! I am going to order some more with so many different color choices available.

Okay, these are great shoes IF, you rip out the 1980's nonexistent insole and replace it with a decent SpenCo insert. I wear a wide 10 and ordered the 11 and they feel and fit great. I get lots of comments on these. I'm kinda into retro shoes and compared to the Adidas Dragons, these are my favorite. I'll be ordering another pair soon.

Love these shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box. I have a wider foot from wearing sandals so often and I don't like feeling constricted, so it has been difficult to find a shoe that is cute, and not too narrow, or stiff. These retro Asics are exactly what I was looking for. A nice light duty runner/frisbee/errand shoe. And yes, I do get compliments on them - from guys! Still scratching my head about that one, but I'll take it. This is the best shoe I've bought in five years hands down.

A kid's shoe. They're just made on sleek lasts (long and slender basically). Too narrow for old, wide feet. Too bad too. Other than being too narrow they felt good.

With a hammertoe, "unbalanced tendons", and a very high arch, I needed a shoe that provided support for my upcoming vacation which involves significant amounts of walking. This shoe works! My feet feel great, and the shoe even looks more streamlined than most "athletic" shoes on my feet.

I bough these shoes as a gift for my son, who already had three pairs but wanted more. He loves them for their look, comfort, and because they are vegan. They come in a lot of colors. I love how easy it was to order and free shipping, and arrived within a few days with standard shipping. A great buy.

A beautiful shoe, stretchy and soft; this is a most comfortable choice! They run large and stretch easily so consider ordering a half size smaller than you're used to.

Very pleased with these shoes. Bought them the week before our vacation at Disney. Very comfortable for the whole day walking around the parks. I also like the retro look.

These are great shoes. Comfortable and in style. The only downside is that, as they are white, they are sometimes difficult to keep clean. However, with a magic eraser or a bleach pen, it makes it a breeze.

Like these shoes very much. I use them exclusively for exercise. Despite the constant movement and pounding, the feet always feel good.

I purchased these for my fiance, who is accustomed to wearing big, bulky skate shoes. He loves them. I'm a huge fan of Asics products, and now he is one as well. They are lightweight and flexible (and available in a size 13) and they don't make his feet look like he's wearing clown shoes with a slimmer jean. We'll be ordering more colors! Yay!

Huge shoe collector. These are a amazing pair, great colour way, support and comfort. Great for daily wear or for long days on the street. Grab'em now before I clear them out. Will purchase again. Great pricing as well.

I am very picky about sneakers, because I usually end up keeping them for a long time. Before getting these shoes, I had been wearing the same pair of Tigers (Mexico 66) for about three years. I had also tried (and returned) styles by Keen and Puma before buying these. I wish I would have bought these sooner! They are just what I was looking for -- very comfortable and stylish. They feel way more flexible than my old 66's, which was a welcome change, slightly wider, which also feels great, and they manage to have fair support without looking bulky (I prefer low profile shoes all the way). Also a bonus: they come with an extra pair of laces in an accent color. I also saw a comment about a discrepancy in women's sizing in the official size chart, but I but I followed the official chart and they fit perfectly. Very happy, I definitely recommend these shoes!

If you want a no-frills, old school pair of sneakers, look no further. They are comfortable right out of the box. Light-weight and great looking. They provide very little arch support (which I happen to like). They are perfect for light gym work in the morning and scooting around town after work. Several of the Tiger styles are also vegan. The navy blue ones look great with just about everything.

I love these shoes! They are comfortable, stylish, and they fit my orthotic insoles (since I ordered half a size larger than normal).

I have 5 pairs of the Tigers and love every one of them. They're really comfy, and I walk a lot in the city. They wear slowly compared to other shoes I've had. I also have wide feet and thought these would be too slim, but they fit well and have a very narrow look.

Love these shoes! Very comfy! I took them on a trip to Colorado and ended up unexpectedly hiking in them!

Love these shoes! Super comfy and well made. They got here super fast too.

The best tennis shoe out there. Very comfortable and aesthically pleasant to the eye.

These are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned - no wonder they are so popular. The color is gorgeous dark blue (not sure why some reviewers are calling it black. Did I mention how phenomenally comfortable these kicks are? Zappos' delivery was incredibly fast, as always. Love, love Zappos!

These are awesome shoes and a great color. I have owned a couple of pairs of Ultimate 81's and love them! They are comfortable right out of the box and I get a ton of compliments.

Excellent shoe very light, comfortable that doesn't sacrifice look! This is my fourth pair of this Shoe, that says it all!

I bought a pair just to try them out. I have never owned or really ever heard of Tigers. They are the best shoe I have worn in a long time. I will always have a pair from now on. They are light, soft, and feel great all day.
