Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

This is probably my 15th pair. They're insanely comfortable, lightweight and well made.

My second pair of Asics Ultimate 81s and I couldn't be any happier! One of the most comfortable, dynamic shoes ever, at a great price. Goes without saying that the service at Zappos is among the best out there too.

The shoes were awesome. They didn't fit at first, but Zappos was extremely fast and made it easy for me to exchange.

Ultimate 81's are the only shoes I purchase because they are light, durable, and comfortable. These specific colors are Zappos exclusive and I love that because this brand is getting more and more popular, yet I can have a color/style few others can.

I really love my Ultimate 81s and the Zappos exclusive Leaf Green/White color combination is fantastic! Right out of the box the shoes are comfortable and supportive. For the record, I prefer my Ultimate 81s to the Onitsuka Mexico 66s. The Ultimate has a thicker sole and more support, and it seems to be a bit wider. My only gripe (common to other reviews, it seems) is that the back heel portion rises pretty high and irritates my Achilles tendon. I imagine this will get less annoying as I break the shoes in.

These sneakers are awesome. The size is true and the colors are great. I would highly recommend these sneakers. They are form-fitting and fashionable.

This is one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever owned.

I was looking for a hip knock-around, walking sneaker that would be more comfortable than Vans or Converse All Stars, and yet with the same kind of cool factor. And I got it with this Tiger in the Grey/Charcoal with white and mustard trim. They don't have the engineering and support of a running shoe, but they're a big improvement in comfort over the basic flat sneaker. And they look much more cool than running shoes, especially if you get the right color combo, such as all black or this one that looks black and charcoal with a little white and mustard trim. These do have light cushioning, a little arch support, and a slightly raised cushioned heel. It's that slightly raised cushioned heel that makes them far more comfortable than flat sneakers. I wear either 11 or 11 1/2 D, depending, but found the 11 1/2 perfect here and the width right on. This feels like a shoe I can wear all day on an outing to L.A, where style is important. They are lightweight and don't feel over-built. Oh, and they come with two pairs of laces, black and mustard (in the Gray/Charcol) and I imagine they do the same with the other color combos. I'm using the black laces, but if you want to make more of a statement the contrasting color will give you that option. In conclusion, this is a good everyday sneaker, at a good price, and of course Zappos service can't be beat!

These are my new favorite shoes. They are very comfortable and dress up or down very easily. They are fairly true to size but a little snug at first. After wearing a few times they conformed to my feet quickly. Also, they do have a bit of an arch support which was noticeable there for my flat feet. After a few wears though my feet became adjusted quickly. These are very comfortable shoes and great for everyday wear. I bought them to replace a pair of warn out black all stars.

Great shoe! I can wear it for extended periods of time and they still feel great.

Gift for our son in law for Christmas. He picked them out and was very pleased.

This is the look that I have wanted for years. These are just an all around, great looking sneakers! Men should order one full size larger than is marked. These babies definitely run small.

I've owned many pairs of Ultimate 81's and the only complaint I have is that the tread wears out fairly quickly. Other than that, a great go-to casual night out/everyday shoe.

I absolutely love these sneakers. They're beyond comfortable, and very stylish. I use them to commute to and from work, and I also use them to run errands on the weekends. These are a great buy and I highly recommend them.

This is the second pair of Onitsuka Tigers that I have bought. Love them. These shoes don't have a high tech inch thick sole, but the support seems more than enough. They are wonderfully comfortable. Great as everyday shoes, walking shoes, even as shoes in which to run short distances. And I love their color and styling. "Tigers" do run small, however. Order at least a half size maybe a whole size up.

I ordered the blue pair and decided to exchange them for the brown. I called Zappos customer service to get the return shipping label and the replacement pair arrived before I even shipped the ones I was exchanging. WOW! I love this company! My husband is very happy with the shoes. They are comfortable, fit true to size, and they look great on.

My Onitsuka Tigers are the most comfortable shoe I have ever enjoyed; to say nothing of their good looks, evidenced by the compliments I get from others. I plan to order again from Zappos - the fast delivery and no shipping charge has made me a happy client.

These shoes are extremely comfortable and stylish. I bought a second pair shortly after I received my first and am actually ordering a few more styles/colors today! When my white ones got a little dirty, I simply tossed them in the washer and let them air dry. They came out good as new. I would absolutely recommend these as casual and comfortable shoes.

Amazing! Great fit, comfy. I love them. I wanted to get the Adidas green Dragon but they were out on my side, fortunately I found these! I am a big fan of Asics/Tiger because of their comfort and fit.

I bought this as a surprise to my significant other. He wore them straight from the box once opened and has not worn anything else since! He loves them and says they are very comfortable.

I always wear some version of Asics, so as far as product goes, I love the color choice. Shipping was ridiculously fast, and am very happy with the order.

I love these shoes! I have 7 different pairs, and they all have the same fit and feel. The size runs true, and they are durable.

These are the coolest Tigers that I have ever purchased. The color pops and looks great under jeans. Apparently, the color is also exclusive to Zappos, so that's badass. The arch support (essential for me) is perfect. I can walk forever in these shoes. I give these a double thumbs up.

This is a very comfortable shoe. It's super lightweight. To me it's like wearing a super supportive sock and it's an absolutely classic look. The only problem is choosing a color! I'm very happy with this shoe and will be buying another pair soon.
