Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

I'm with everyone else on this one - an all-around comfy and stylish shoe. Glad I bought it to give my Converse a break.

I ordered two other pair of shoes including these Asics. The other brands were Puma & Vans. I ordered all three in the same women's size of 7. The Puma and Vans were true to size and fit perfectly so I was happy to keep them. I felt that the Asics are sized one size too small. If I were to order these again, I would order a full size larger like an 8 rather than my usual size of 7. But, they do look really cool.

I love these shoes! They are cool-looking, lightweight, and very comfortable. They have a thinner sole and a lower profile, more like Converse in fit than, say, a traditional running shoe -- more like a court shoe, I guess. But they have arch support, and are supportive enough for city walking. One note: the grey/black ones are vegan, and the fabric looks more denimy than in the picture. Zoom in to see the texture.

This is the second time I buy this shoe from Zappos, just in a different color/style.... and I'm not the type to buy the same shoe twice. I wore my previous pair pretty much every day for a year, and at that point, although the soles are still intact, the tread was so worn that I decided I need a new pair. I still have them and just use them as junk shoes at this point. The Onitsuka Tigers are a very comfortable shoe. They're extremely lightweight and they breathe very well. They're not great on cold and/or wet days because of their permeability, but that's not what you should be buying them for. I work on my feet pretty much all day long, and when I'm wearing these guys my feet don't seem to get tired. It doesn't take long to break them in, and once you have, you'll want to wear them all the time. As for arch support and padding, it's only moderate. You definitely won't want to be running long distances in these. As for the style, you can see that from the pictures. I've gotten many many comments on these because they're bright and bold. Frankly the toughest part is figuring out which style you want. I'd recommend these shoes to anyone who wants a fun and lightweight pair of casual shoes.

Great look, very comfortable like all other pairs of the ultimate 81. Have owned a pair of this shoe in multiple colors/designs for the last 5 years--they never fail. Great everyday casual shoe that holds up well.

I ordered a size 10.5 men and they fit great. I think others have noted the "black" is actually more a navy, but other than that I am completely satisfied as a first time Zappos customer. I am docking a style star only because of the color discrepancy.

I wear a women's size 8 shoe. The 7 1/2 was too small. The 8 runs just a tad bit longer than most of my other size 8 shoes. Overall, satisfied with the shoe. I have owned this same shoe in the past and they maintained their condition for years. I would not hesitate to buy this shoe again! Zappos gets a 6-star customer service rating by me as well!

I found this shoe to be extremely comfortable and I like the way they look on my feet. (I have big feet and they seem to make them appear shorter -- I think it's the rounded toe.) This is the second pair of Tigers I have owned and they won't be the last.

Great set of kicks! Pretty flat and roomy. Cushion is limited, so I wouldn't recommend walking around all day in them.

Loving them! Very stylish. Bought three pair after the first pair. Love the fact they come in so many different colors. Would recommend to all tennis shoe junkies like myself.

Always getting compliments on Onitsuka Tigers! This is my 4th pair and certainly not my last pair. Very comfortable, light weight, and true to size. Great for everyday walking on campus, shopping, even working out at home. I wouldn't recommend running for long periods of time in shoe as its support is minimal. Great for sprinting and short distances. And I can't complete this review without mentioning that Zappos has the best service in this industry! I've always been a satisfied customer!

These are extremely comfortable, casual shoes. I love the leather at the Achilles. They look great with anything. My only complaint is that they are hard to keep clean. Zappos rules!

The back/gray logo/gray mesh shoe isn't the most stylish or flashy, but I've gotten a number of compliments on them nonetheless. I usually wear a men's 9, got the 9.5 as recommended, and it fits perfect...comfortable length and comfortable width. These shoes are just comfortable in general for everyday use, or even heavy walking around a city.

Excellent shoe at a great price. Really light and well made. They look even better in person. I tied a knot at the ends of my laces and use them as slip ons. Shipment came quickly and the shoes were already neatly laced up. A minor thing, but a nice touch that I appreciated. Thanks Zappos.

First time buying Tigers and it certainly won't be the last. Very comfortable shoes to say the least. Fits to size and super comfy. Goes well with jeans and shorts. I'm already staking out the next color pattern.

They are too cute! Simple, but adorable. I love them. The fit is fine/true to size. Very cute with shorts, white, black or grey!

Super comfy and unique - plenty of compliments. Can wear to gym or with jeans out on the town.

Wow love the shoes. Very light, great support, feels good to walk in all day. My knees have stopped aching from my old shoes that were no good. This is a good buy for me, I will buy more.

I love these shoes. I'll probably buy a couple more pairs right away just to be sure I'll have them when this pair wears out. They are very light and comfortable. Be aware that they have a very thin sole, not much padding in the heel, and no arch support. Based on what I've read about the benefits of barefoot running, that's a good thing.

Really love these - the toe box is roomy (my feet on the wide side) and breathes. Wore them on vacation with much walking every day and no blisters!

These are pretty great. Many reviews said they felt narrow, but I don't feel that way. I do normally need a wide shoe, but these felt just as wide as any other sneaker style shoe I've ever tried. The picture doesn't do the gray part justice, it looks much cooler in person.

Very nice, comfortable and look durable as after two weeks of wearing. Very satisfied and look forward buying Asics in future.

I wanted to get this style ever since I first laid eyes on it. Unfortunately the mall I went to did not have the size so I decided to get it here online at Zappos. An awesome shoe. The delivery was on time and happy about it. I will definitely order more from this site.

This shoe is stylish, classic, and comfortable. I wear it to work in a restaurant 40 hours a week, ride my bike, and cruise all over NYC in them and they're still holding up.

Just got these in Fog/White. Very happy with the look. I put in my own cushy insoles since I'm wearing them for everyday use and not running in them. Therefor they are a tad snug side so I'm glad I went with a women's 10 instead of my usual 9.5.
