Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

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.

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.

Love these shoes. Affordable as well. I receive compliments on them often. These are my second pair.

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.

The shoes arrived as beautiful as they looked online. Zappos even delivered two-day shipping on the house. I love these shoes and I love Zappos!

Great shoes in every way. These are actually my second pair of Ultimate 81s.

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.

Was fearing for the worse but took a chance on these trainers and I have to say they are awesome! Very light weight and though I have somewhat wide feet, I stuck to my size 9 and the shoes fit great! I would recommend these to anyone looking for a stylish affordable light weight shoe.

This is a very stylish shoe and very comfortable. It's great for casual wear. I can't really comment on its value as a running shoe, because I don't run in them, but they are my go-to shoes when I know I'm going to be doing a lot of walking, or just when I am going out and I want to wear a different set of awesome shoes.

These are great shoes! I ordered mine in black/black so that I can wear them out with a nice pair of jeans and a dress shirt. I find that a lot of sneakers are usually bulkier than they have to be and and a little on the heavy side, so I was looking for something streamlined and very light-weight. These are those shoes. They are extremely comfortable. I have high arches, and the support, while not the best among sneakers I've tried, is very good. I would buy them again and would highly recommend them to family and friends.

Great looking shoe. Love the style. Only thing I noticed is certain colorways that use different materials will impact the size. I would pay attention to what is used in the heel area or the toe box (mesh, synthetic leather, etc). The ones with mesh in the inner heel part and mesh in the toe box will fit true to size. On the other hand, the ones with synthetic material in the heel I had to go up half a size. Other than that, awesome casual shoe to wear with jeans or khakis.

They're very light, breathable, and comfortable. Definitely one of my favorite pairs of shoes.

So comfortable, I wear them whenever I can. Has nice arch support for my pronation. Love the retro look, and the assortment of colors.
