Got them in Kelly green and even though I wasn't expecting it they came with green laces too! Awesome. Ordered half size bigger and they fit great. Width is a bit narrower than most shoes but this is great for me. They feel really comfy and I can feel that shock absorption work. Very happy with them and as always Zappos.

This is my third pair of sneakers by this brand and I am still very satisfied. This shoe has excellent breath-ability in addition to superior comfort and style. It's the ultimate 81, and it is the ultimate purchase.

Awesome shoes! Love the design and comfort. Glad it came in different colors so I was able to choose which one fits my personality. Hope they will be available when I need replacements in the future.

Love the shoe. Frankly, I was surprised just how comfortable they are. I'm considering buying another pair in a different color because I like them so much.

My guess is that this shoe will have limited appeal unless one has narrow feet and a low to moderate arch which I do. So for me it's excellent because I can rarely find a shoe that fits. Note too that this model is similar to a "running flat" so there's minimal cushion and you need to have an awareness of good running/jogging form.

I loved the color and fit. They fit true to size and I like how light the shoes are. They are comfortable for all day wearing with no break in period.

I bought them because I liked the "old school" look. Very light and comfortable all day long. I worried about the width being too narrow but they were fine, I ordered my regular size. I've had compliments on them where ever I've worn them.

I got these right before my trip to Boston. They're stylish and surprisingly comfy. Not a running shoe, in my opinion, but it was comfortable enough for me to run around in downtown Boston. Sightseeing in speed mode. I love them and I'm going to purchase another pair soon.

Great shoe, very comfortable. I have a wide foot and this shoe fit great. Comes with another set of shoes laces to further customize your look. Very satisfied!

My first pair of Onitsukas. I find them comfortable, stylish, and flexible. Construction is simple but sturdy, and my activities in them range from casual wear to mild activity (playing with the kids in the yard).
When these wear out, I'll be ordering replacements for sure.

I have a wide foot. When I pulled these out of the box, I was worried at first glance they would not fit. I usually order a half size up and that may have saved me. These shoes are light and crazy comfortable and my wide foot isn't the slightest bit cramped. I think I just found my new favorite casual shoe!

Very light. Great for running, work, and an all-around city shoe. The sole is very flexible which lends itself to great running ability and traction, although the small tread means traction may be limited on wet surfaces. This particular shoe, the Ultimate 81, is slightly wide for my feet at the top so if you have narrow feet you may want to try another model of Tigers.

Love this shoe! Got this to replace my pair of grey and bright green Saucony Jazz and am very happy...I think it was a Zappos Exclusive color palette even. The shipping was almost instant...maybe two days before they were on my doorstep. The orange is a little darker and more red than I expected and the grey a little lighter, but it still works. I have always worn shoes a little bigger than my feet, so I'm not an expert on sizing. The bottom grips more than most which takes some getting used to, but I think it's a fun shoe that is great for leisure walking.

Zappos is the best! I have never had any problems with any orders and always receive the best customer support. I don't buy shoes from any other online store. It's great because I wear size 14 and can never find my size. But not on Zappos. I have bought my last 8 pairs of shoes from Zappos.

These are quite possibly the best pair of sneakers I've ever owned. My white/red pair are the 2nd pair I've gotten of this specific brand, and are my 4th pair of Asics. I usually feel silly wearing sneakers, because I don't wear them often, but that's not the case with these. They're really cute for being unisex and they are extremely comfortable. I definitely recommend them if you're on your feet all day and need extra supportive comfort, or just want a casual pair of sneakers.

Great shoes. I would suggest ordering a size up if you have wider feet.

Very solid, classic shoe. My only complaint: Size 13 is usually a half size bigger than what I feel comfortable wearing (12.5 is rarely available), so I ordered a 13 as usual. These tiger 13's were like clown shoes and had over an inch larger than my toes. Definitely order a size, if not a 1/2 size, lower for sure.

These might be my new favorite shoes. I have really wide feet (wides are often not wide enough) and these fit like how I always imagine these types of shoes to fit. My only complaint is that the height is a little short (hugs feet quite snugly), which might not even necessarily be a complaint. I love that my heels do not fall out at all. These are super cute, and I cannot believe that I have never discovered these shoes before!

I love these shoes! Just purchased my third pair. Now that Zappos is carrying the orange and grey's I'm sure I will be purchasing many more! If you are a fan of the classic sneaker I highly recommend these!

These shoes are very comfortable. The uppers are really soft and breathable. There's a small arch, not enough for running, but enough for walking comfortably. They were tighter than I'm used to, but they're so soft that it's kind of like wearing a big sock, so the tightness wasn't a big issue.

I was looking for a green lightweight racing shoe to wear for a St. Pattys Day 5K. It was the perfect shoe and worked out well. An added bonus was that I won the race at age 58. How cool and they arrived at my door in 2 days. I will send you a picture of me with the shoes. Thanks so much.
