My CrossFit gym owner recommended the Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 to me for workout shoes. I like them so much I bought a second pair for wearing outside the gym. They are super-comfortable, light, and very reasonably priced. Buy a pair!

This is truly one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever had on. The reason I chose these shoes is to be able to wear them to work. Even though I work in an office environment, I walk several blocks to work from public transportation and am on my feet a lot during the day. Trying to find a pair of shoes that are all black in color was very difficult as most of them have some sort of colored markings on them... I will be buying a second pair of these so I have them. They could have a bit more arch support, as I have a very high in-step, but otherwise they are perfect.

These are without a doubt the greatest shoe ever devised by man kind. Lightweight, comfortable beyond imagination, medium-profile sole that isn't clunky like a running shoe, but isn't too thin like a Puma or Diesel. And the Zappos exclusive color combos are boss.

Very comfortable! The first day I wore them, I thought I was "breaking them in" but my feet felt awesome all day and even after I took the shoes off.

Love these sneaks. They're fun and funky and super comfy. Wear them with jeans, capris, or shorts. They are very hip. I felt they are pretty true to size and offer arch support. When I wear my Nikes my one arch tends to hurt. Not with these!

So cool and comfortable. I was hesitant buying a shoe that was either a mens' 5.5 or a womens' 7, but these fit my medium 7 feet really well and look great.

One of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I have wide feet with corns, calluses etc, and I wore these right out of the box with no problems. I will probably get another pair.

I bought these stylish gym shoes for my husband to wear this spring with jeans. He likes them alot but if we have to do a ton of walking, the lack of traditional support and cushion offered by a real gym shoe is noticeable. However, they are fine for general casual wear and look nicer than a running shoe with jeans.

These sneakers rock! Not only do they look great, but they are super comfortable. I will definitely be buying more in different colors. I have narrow/long feet and they feel very comfortable.

Bought these to replace very old and very loved Diesel shoes. Have received many compliments on them. Sometimes they almost look like denim...not as much cushion as a running shoe but overall fairly comfortable, can wear them all day.

I bought these for a casual athletic shoe so I wouldn't wear my running shoes everywhere. They are so comfortable!

So I bought these shoes based on the overwhelmingly great reviews. After wearing them now for a few weeks I agree, solid shoes. The fit was perfect (M-11) and from the first time I put them on I was sold. I've used them primarily for walking around town and they are now my preferred kicks. They have a nice retro look, and without any of the modern gel/air features, are very comfortable. I'm likely to buy another pair in a different color.

First try at this shoe was not so good. Left shoe fit perfectly, right shoe cut off circulation on my toes. Called Zappos and they returned the pair and gave me a new pair with expedited delivery so that I had it next day. I have no complaints after that! The shoes are comfy, lightweight, and stylish!

Love these shoes. This is my second pair of Onitsuka Tigers by Asics and both are great. In general, they are just really comfortable, casual shoes. These have a little less support than my first pair, so if you're someone who needs a lot of cushioning or support these may not be the pair for you (without an insole). However, I think they're great shoes that feel great the first time you put them on. No breaking in process. Just good, comfortable, stylish shoes.

I've been a fan of the Onitsuka Tigers series for a while, and this is the best pair I've ever bought. Sweet color, awesome fit and comfort. Can't wait until I save up and buy another pair, which is easy because they're pretty reasonable.

Great, comfortable shoes. Apparently, these are the new trend among high school students but who cares. They sort of look like dark navy blue in the sun but look great nonetheless. Great fit, nice cushion, and casual look.

I'm now on my fourth pair of Tigers and that should say it all. They are easily the most versatile, and comfortable sneaker around. Every guy should own a pair; your wardrobe isn't complete without one.

I own two pairs of these now and they are excellent casual shoes. I get compliments on both pairs often and they are definite head turners. They look good both with shorts (w/ low cut socks) and with jeans. My feet are on the wider side (but I don't wear Wide size shoes) and these fit perfectly. The support in them are good for non-working out walking and standing. They include two pairs of laces in different colors so you can customize them a bit. My first pair is about 2 years old now and has zero signs of wearing out (even the sole isn't wearing off yet). The arch support is better than most casual shoes like these.

Absolutely love these shoes. I usually wear orthotics and I don't have to with these shoes. They have moderate arch support and are very light. I am going to wear them with my wedding dress!

Very comfortable pair of shoes! I wear custom orthotics, and had no issues fitting them into these. I bought another pair because they're that comfortable. This shoe definitely runs half-a-size smaller than normal, so you'll have to order up by half a size.

This shoe lives up to its word, and meets all expectetions and more. I just bought a pair and my Addidas and Nike don't even come close to the comfort, it feels like your walking on clouds and the heel support is the best. Thank you Asics, you can add one more customer to the list.

My ideal shoe. Subtle and stylish at the same time. Looks great with any clothing combination. Filled and exceeded expectations. Definitely purchasing a different color variation of the Onitsuka Tiger in the near future. Also will be using Zappos; rapid shipping, competitive prices, and an excellent website to shop at.
