Great vintage looking shoe. I remove the inner sole (not easy) and put in a Soft Sole for better comfort. Overall very pleased.

Shoes are very comfortable. I wear them out and about, love the look, and get compliments every now and then. Wouldn't walk miles in them, but for most endeavors outside of work, these are great. Will buy again.

I'm in the eighth grade and I bought these shoes for the mile we run once a week. We record them and are graded by our times (it also gets competitive with the other students). Before I got these shoes I was running in Vans and my Personal Record was 6 minutes 32 seconds. The first mile I ran in these shoes I got a 5 minute 57 second mile time! The second time 5 minute 42 second! Overall these shoes are great for runners; long or short distance. They are very comfortable and I would recommend them to anyone!

I have flat feet, but I love to run. These shoes are by far the best running shoes I've ever had. They’re also cheaper than any other running shoes I've ever purchased. I will surely be purchasing more. They’re comfortable and lightweight. I love them!

These are the perfect run-around-on-weekends shoes! Great look, really lightweight but with support. I just bought another pair!

This is my fourth pair of Ultimate 81s. I wore my previous pair almost every day for over a year and they held up really well. I'm on my feet all day at work and they feel great. I like the style, feel and durability. A+.

Overall these are solid shoes. The one part of comfort where the shoes fail is the heel. It is fairly rigid around the back of the foot and this caused it to put a lot of pressure on one small part of the back/side of my foot (that is slightly raised). This is the first shoe that I have ever noticed this issue with and I think it is due to fairly rigid and not-completely-smooth material around the back of the foot. The cushion below the foot is fine, though.

Agree with the majority of the reviews. A comfortable, stylish casual shoe. I wouldn't run in it though. Just for kicking around. I bought the brown and orange...would like to get the green pair but not available now.

Keep buying these if they work for you too..............many colors available.

These are comfortable, and they look great! The first time I put them on I was worried that they would be too tight but after wearing them for a few hours they felt great.

Excellent shoes, they are as it is in the picture, true color, true size and width. Shipping was on time as expected. I am very pleased with the two pairs I bought, definitely I do recommend this brand of tennis shoes.

These shoes look nice and come with two shoe string colors: white and orange. They fit snugly so if you want toe wiggle room maybe get half a size bigger. I wish there was a little bit more arch support, but other than that these are awesome shoes.

This shoe runs a little small, I'm normally a 10.5 but a 10 works well for this shoe. The toe box is a little wide for my foot, but I have narrow feet so it will likely be perfect for most. When on, the shoe is super comfortable and actually provides pretty good arch support. I use these as a daily shoe as well as a minimalist workout shoe for cross fit. I wouldn't want to run miles in these, but they're fine for the 400+ meters we run in crossfit on a weekly basis. Decent stability for other workout activities such as the rowing machine, squats, military press, deadlift, etc. And they look good when going out and you're looking for a casual but sporty look.

I really like the look of this shoe. It is comfy, very flat, almost like you aren't wearing a shoe. I don't think this shoe would work if your foot is wide.

These are amazing shoes. I have really high arches. So Asics alone are the best for that. This particular style is almost made for high arches. I'm on my feet all day for my job and I wear these and I don't have any problems. And not to mention I wear them out when I'm not at work. Cool style a huge selection of colors. So yeah. Do yourself a favor pick a pair up.

Excellent shoes. They look great and are comfortable enough for long periods of standing with an average arch. The soles tend to squeek a lot on hard floors when it rains other than that they rank among the best shoes I have owned.

This is my second pair of these (different color). They're low profile, lightweight, comfortable, and I like the way they look. I do a lot of walking and the last pair I had held up really well.

Great shoes! I wore these for St. Patrick's Day and I got a lot of compliments. I wear a size 8 in women's shoes and the men's 6.5 were just a bit big but they still worked.

The shoes are really nice! I love them, heads up of you wear like Aeropostale/ Hollister, or any nice dress casual flannels then these are the nice style for that. I do and I love them! Great support and running style too: great overall. Just be sure to keep clean.

Very nice shoes indeed! I get compliments on them all the time. They are very comfortable and long lasting. I did a six mile march-a-thon in these and didn't feel it at all. When you're looking for a great sneaker, the Onitsuka Tigers are your best bet. They're great for when you'll be on your feet all day or running long distances. They also are very stylish.

I'm a fan of these kicks! My foot size recently changed, probably from losing weight rapidly at the gym. I bought these sneakers in my new size (I was an 8 1/2 and I'm now an 8). They feel a little snug in thicker socks, which makes me think they run a tiny bit small. However, as long as I wear thinner gym socks, they are very comfortable! I love the color combination offered, and I've gotten several compliments from trainers at the gym.

I would love to actually wear these shoes (all black ultimate 81) or the many exclusive like them... But Zappos rarely has size 11.5 man's Tigers for more then one tenth of a picosecond... Really irritating! But when they do, Zappos service is the cream and I will continue to shop w/ them. Really cool shoes Just buy them you will love them. Just wished they had them in stock longer.
