Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

When I first saw this shoe I said I've got to get a pair! I got them based on the vintage style and price. I like to wear light weight running shoes and this was similar to the newer shoes on the market! When I first received these shoes, the first time I wore them they were a little stiff but after wearing them a few times they felt wonderful! Price is cheaper than what one would pay for in a Nike! I highly recommend these shoes!

So glad Zappos has decided to jump on the band wagon and provide us with some of our favorites from the 70's and 80's. I have been waiting to find a nice looking brown shoe with some classic style. I'm loving my Asics Onitsuka Tigers.

These are some of the most comfortable shows I ever had. They are quickly overtaking my old K-Swiss running shoes as my all-time favorites. Got a half size larger than normal based on reviews and they feel fine.

I love these shoes. I've bought three pairs in different colors. They're perfect for leisure, hanging out (and since I work in tech field can wear them to work sometimes). I don't exercise in them. they are true to size.

These shoes are cool and comfy! I got them in the Black/Steel Grey. From the picture they look like they might be wool or felt, but they're actually a very heavy denim-type canvas/fabric. I'm a woman, and I got them to wear with jeans and t-shirts or with jeans and nicer tops like button-up shirts or sweaters, to make them look more sporty, and these shoes definitely fit the bill. They are my go-to shoes to wear with jeans! They're also nice and roomy. I got them a half-size larger to accommodate thicker socks in the winter and because I like my sneakers roomy, but I might could have done with my regular size if I only wore thinner socks with them.

Great experience with zappos.com. I ordered a pair of shoes, and they were at my door in two days! Great quality purchases as well.

These shoes have been really great so far. The last pair of Ultimate 81s I got, the soles started to come off after a few weeks, but these have held up much better (might be that the translucent rubber seems springier).

These are such great shoes I am slowly getting a pair in every color. I needed these all black shoes for an internship and these will be perfect for my 16 hour days on my feet. They typically take a couple weeks to break in. They are really snug when you first try them on, but they will mold to your foot if you start wearing them frequently. Love them!

These are awesome and comfortable. The sole is very unique and may make a distinct squeaking sound when walking on hard surfaces. I kind of like it.

I normally wear men's size 10 1/2 and sometimes 11. I ordered these in 11 based on reviews of fit. Fit was perfect. I purchased these for Tai Chi and Wushu. These are my "Woo Shoes".

Love my new Tigers! I have owned a pair of Mexico 66's for 4 years and love them, but these Ultimate 81's are definitely more substantial and supportive. Still nice and slim and look great with shorts or skinny jeans, but just a little more substance.

I purchased this shoe for style and walking. I was amazed at how comfortable it was. Not sure if it was designed to be a running shoe or not, but it's very firm on the bottom and give pretty good support to be a low profile shoe. Pleased with the look and feel, and will be looking into other colors.

Nice shoes. I've only had them a month or so, and already they feel a little less comfortable. I'm starting to be concerned about durability. In their defense, I put shoes through the wringer, your mileage may vary (my mileage is about 4mi/day).

Awesome shoes. I stand all day at work, and my feet hurt all the time. I decided to try these out after a friend recommended them. They look far better than the Dansko clogs I was wearing, and my feet feel better now that I started wearing the Tigers. Love them. I am buying another pair (at least one other pair).

the product was in perfect conditions but I have to complain that when I chose the size it only gave me the option of women's size but it didn´t say anywhere that it was so, I selected 8.5 and they delivered them to me a 8.5 women size and I needed 8.5 for men unfortunately because Im an international costumer I was not able to return them.

Very comfy, I like it so far. The silver material is almost like denim, I think it's going to hold up to wear and tear very well.

Best shoe on the planet. I've got a pair of these each year for the last 4 years. I love them. I mainly use them for work, then use the old pair workouts, yard work, etc. Simple and sleek, but comfy too.

Solid choice. Received compliments. Fits perfectly in the back. A little more spacious in the toe-box than I'm used to, but not a big deal. Good construction all-around.

Love the shoes! Nice with jeans or shorts in the summer. The only thing is that if you have wide feet, the shoe will not fit properly.

I love these shoes. They are great casual shoes with a nice retro look that looks awesome with straight or skinny leg jeans.

A little narrow in the toes, but break in after a good day or 2 of use. I recommend if you like lightweight shoes with support just a step up from a Chuck Taylor.

This is a very lightweight shoe with a nice cushion heel that helps with my knees and back. The out side is very cool with the mesh and stripes. I'm not too big a fan of suede; mine always gets messed up pretty easily.

I absolutely love these shoes! My only advice is to keep in mind they run small so get a half a size bigger or else you are going to have to return them and get a bigger size and wait a few more days. I am usually an 8½, but I needed to get a 9.

Very comfortable. Love the retro styling that goes great with jeans. Overall good arch support.

We bought a pair of Tiger's in California last year and have worn them out. They are as comfortable as slippers. These are not heavy duty sneakers you would wear for sports or trekking they are light and comfortable easy to wear all day, smart enough for work sneakers. They run a little small we went half a size up than normal size, and they scream California.
