Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

The shoes are awesome and the service was exceptionally wonderful. I had to contact Zappos customer support in order to change the shipping address and they were very nice and helpful. I would gladly recommend buying from Zappos as I surely will.

This is a great shoe! Stylish, comfortable, and go with just about anything.

I got a pair of these after returning a pair of AdiStar Racers and Dragons, which were too narrow for me and had no arch support. If you want a retro-styled shoe but you are worried about arch support, these are the ones to get. I have the ones with the mesh liner rather than leather, and they are super comfortable and light. The tongue is very thin, but it doesn't get bunched up under the laces like some other shoes I have had. Get them!

I use these as casual shoes with jeans. They're great for that. They're lightweight, mostly one color, and comfortable. And they seem to be assembled well.

I love these shoes! Perfect for casual wear with enough support to feel 'energizing'. Would definitely recommend.

The fit is true to size. There is a pronounced arch inside the sole of the shoe. While it is not uncomfortable, it does take some getting used to if most of your shoes don't already have something like that. On the whole, very stylish. Love them!

The best shoes, for the price, I have ever owned. I won't be buying anything else for a long time!

The best running shoes I have ever bought. They are true to size. If you are a runner, these are a must have!

The sneakers are great and Zappos sent the sneakers in record time.

Great looking, comfortable, lightweight shoes. Had for one month, and they are very durable so far.

These shoes are awesome. They fit true to size, they breathe nicely, and they have just the right amount of cushion. They also have a bit of arch support which is nice. I often have trouble finding shoes that fit as I have wide feet, but these work great.

It's been awhile since I have found a pair of shoes that fit me so well and have worn so well! Very comfortable, and the mesh keeps my feet at the right temperature (I tend to run a bit warm). I wear these as my everyday shoes, and they have worn well. I've loved them so much, I'm considering buying a second pair (in a different color scheme). The only negative thing I can think of is the lack of traction in wet environments. I live in the Puget Sound area, so it's nearly always wet, and I have to be careful walking in these shoes.

Love these shoes. Perfect for bicycling with toe clips. Comfortable, light, and look good. The sizing is a little off. I normally wear a 12, but in these I wear an 11. With Zappos return policy and free shipping, if you don't like them or have fit problems, just send them back for a credit and order something else.

These shoes are amazing. I have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable but these fit perfectly. They are very much true to size and great if you have wide feet. I love them so much that I bought them in two colors. They are highly reccomended. And as always amazing service from Zappos.

I like these sneakers very much. I like their looks and comfort. I might have ordered half a size smaller since they are unisex, but even with my regular size, they work for me.

These shoes are so comfortable and stylish! I have gotten so many compliments. I am a female, and while I normally do not pair athletic shoes with outfits, these are the exception! The only thing I did not expect was the athletic-mesh look on the outer part of the shoe. I pictured it to be more canvas-like. However, these shoes are still so cute and comfortable! I am not a big fan of arch support, and I usually prefer shoes without it. However, the arch support of these shoes is thankfully very minimal, but makes them all the more comfortable. I have found myself choosing these over my previous favorite flat canvas shoes. These are definitely my new favorites! Although they are expensive, I believe these are worth the price. Also, with shoes this stylish, I feel more motivated while running. If you want shoes that you can wear for both style and working out, these are perfect and will not disappoint!

In the absence of my favorite onitsuka line (Coolidge low top), these Ultimate 81s are at a close second place. As with many shoes, I find that the replacement of the stock insole with a blue Superfeet insert creates a much stiffer, more responsive and comfortable shoe. I'm a big fan of minimal, stiff, lightweight shoes, and the Onituska line by Asics has long reigned supreme in the casual sneaker category.

I love these sneakers! Exactly what you see is what you are going to get. I absolutely love the color and they are super comfortable.

I love these shoes more than most of my family. It's super flexible, nicely cushioned, and breathes well. I pity the fool that doesn't buy them.

Very comfortable and trendy. Love them!

Very comfortable shoes that did well in long walks in the steep streets of San Francisco and great for trips to the ballpark. They breathe and are a good wear for walking or running in the summer. Not a huge amount of support; they won't replace my New Balance 993s for treadmill running, but they're great for around the town. But, one thing against them is that they do mark easily. First day out and there was a nasty smudge on the toe. Hopefully they're easy to clean.

My second pair of 81's and I honestly love the shoe. The one issue is that the top of the heal in the back is rubber, so it can be a little uncomfortable if you wear w/o socks, but that gets better once the shoe is broken in...

Quite possibly, the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn...and they're vegan! Super light-weight, form-fitting without being tight anywhere, good traction...I barely notice I'm wearing them. And the green color is absurdly cute. If you're between sizes, go up. I normally wear a women's 9.5 or 10 - ordered a 10 and they fit snugly with socks.

Very lightweight and comfortable. Feels like wearing socks, but still supportive. I have a flat arch and these have better arch support than I expected. I'm still getting used to the style. This is my first pair of retro/classic shoes. Zappos customer service, selection, shipping, etc. is the best of all of the online stores I've dealt with.

I just got theses and I am very happy with them. They look great and are very comfortable. They are light and they have more arch support than some of my other shoes. I would not use them for distance running because I need running shoes with more support in different areas than these offer, but they are great for everyday use.
