The shoe is very comfortable and I can feel an arch support. Zappos shipped the shoes super fast! Overall I'm pleased with the purchase.

Love this shoe. So comfortable yet light and lean. I usually wear either a 10 or a 10.5, and a 10.5 fit me great. Recommended!

I bought these shoes for my husband who wears a size 14 shoe. My husband is very picky about what sneakers he wears since he wears them everyday and lives in them. Once he finds a shoe he likes he never takes it off. He unfortunately is very hard to shop for because he has such a narrow foot and these shoes fit him very well. He has worn these shoes almost everyday for 2 years I think and the are just now starting to wear out. I may switch to another show just for style but I would recommend these to anyone, especially big foot people like my hubby!

It's simple... You either rock Asics because you know how awesome they are. Or, you just have no clue. Get yourself some Asics

Great weekend sneaks...perfect for running errands and just hanging out. I bought these just before a trip to NYC which I knew would involve a lot of walking. They were comfortable and looked good, too. Not as supportive as a pair of cross trainers, but for a casual sneaker, they get the job done. Also a good value...reasonably priced. I have wide feet and these fit just fine.

These are great shoes! They have a classic look that fits any style. Sole is a little more narrow than I prefer but still a comfortable everyday shoe.

Love this style of sneaker! I think this is the third pair of Tigers I've had. I even get compliments on their stylishness.

So far I really like these shoes. They are comfortable, sporty and well-designed (they look as good in person as in the photo). Be prepared for the white-colored parts of the shoe to be very bright, almost reflective, which I personally like. Based on previous postings, I ordered half a size up from my ordinary measurements, and they fit perfectly.

The Onitsuka Tiger sneaker is a great style. It is immediately comfortable with absolutely no break-in period. I bought these to replace another pair in the same style and I was not disappointed. This new pair is even nicer looking than the last one. The beige just softens the black a little, better than all black or a bright contrasting color since it gives a sleeker look. These sneakers are good for wearing when lifting weights or doing the elliptical or step machines. It is also good for walking around the city when you want to have some style. I would not use this for serious walking either on the treadmill or outdoors since it just isn't that kind of sneaker.

The green color was a nice bright green and the fit was true to size. My son loves his new shoes and he likes how comfortable they are. He wears them for school and casual.

I really like this shoe. Looks great, easy to slip on, very comfortable. Replaced my Converse and VFFs. I use them everywhere, except running longer than 5 miles, or standing on my feet all day at a hospital. Low profile, old school, no frills. I would buy more but the ones I bought last year look new every time I throw them in the wash.

I love Onitsuka Tiger shoes. They feel a little narrow, but overall they are a lightweight, comfy, unique looking shoe.

I love these shoes! I run marathons in Asics running shoes so I new I would like these too. I love them more than I thought I would. They are super comfortable and great looking! After the first pair I purchased I needed more.

These shoes are awesome! If you have wide feet then this is the one for you. Onitsuka tigers ultimate 81 are the best shoes. Cool retro look. The Black gray and white ones look better with white shoe laces. Of course, you cannot beat the customer experience that zappos offers. You won't find it anywhere. Eventhough I find shoes at other website I still do business with zappos due to the no hassle buying and return policy and of course free shipping is the best!

Rad shoe! LOVE the gold on black design!! I have received tons of comments. The shoe runs a half size too large but is an overall comfortable walking shoe. Arch support is prominent; I have flat feet and can feel the arch on my foot, although it’s not an uncomfortable feel.

I tried out 3 versions of the Tiger line (81, 66 and 77) and the difference with the Ultimate 81 is that it is lighter and has more padding in the toe/ball area, a very slight wedge, and arch support. The arch support was too much for me and my husband so we returned them. These come with 2 sets of laces in different colors, which is a nice touch. For inexpensive, kick-around type of sneaks, these aren't bad, but we needed a pair for a 4 week trip to India and felt that these wouldn't provide enough cushioning for long walks/city exploring and that they might fall apart. Also, the women to men conversion seems off to me. I ordered my typical woman's size and theses were really big. My husband's size was spot-on.

These shoes are amazing. They are light and comfortable and I can wear them all day. I have worn them to teach my Zumba class a few times and they even do well in there, although I don't think they are the best choice for working out. I needed them in a pinch and they did the job. I mostly use these for walking around running my errands. The best features of this shoe are its light weight and its stylish appearance.

These shoes were everything I thought they were going to be and I will definitely order more in the future! Just two things to note before you buy: 1) The back of the shoe does go up rather high, so don't wear low cut socks if you want to prevent irritation and 2) the shoes actually appear to be black unless they are in clear light.

They fit very well. I have had a pair of Tigers before, so I knew I wore a 10.5 (my usual size). They have a more narrow sole than shoes I have been used to wearing before, but nothing too bad. They also have the arch of the heel a little further back than other shoes I'm used to wearing, but I think it is actually more comfortable. Either way it definitely doesn't distract you. I have received compliments on them, so I guess they look nice to more than just myself.
