Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

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.

I love these shoes! They are light and comfortable and look super cool. I bought these and when they arrived, I ordered another pair!

Awesome shoes all around. It looks great with jeans and very comfortable a solid 9 out of 10.

This shoe is great, very light and comfy. Great arch support with this shoe. Big fan!

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.

These shoes look good and feel great. I am on my feet all day and these sneakers are so comfortable. They do run a half size big and they stretch a little bit, I wear a 9 and I purchased a 8.5 and they fit perfectly.

Great sneakers, really cool looking! They do fit a little smaller than most other sneakers I own, I had to size up a half size.

A great shoe. A competitive price. Amazing delivery service. What more can you ask for?

Very pleased with my purchase! Was a bit worried the fit may be too narrow; it was not. Very comfortable -- I did not experience ankle discomfort as some people commented. They already felt broken in! Perfect for riding my bike. I also live in a rainy climate and there is extra protection (sort of like this plastic strip thing) around the base of the shoe (beyond the sole) so my feet do not get wet. The gold is rad and I will likely get more colors in the future.

These shoes are great. I own a few different colors and all are comfortable.

They're a great pair of shoes. I'm in 8th grade and sitting and walking is comfortable. They stay in great condition for a long time!

Comfy, stylish, and versatile. Package comes with three sets of laces, black, dark grey, and white.

I bought this shoe for my teenage son, a soccer player who wanted better support in his everyday sneaker. These not only look sharp (they are not quite as white but more tan than the photo) but also offer more arch support than similar casual athletic shoes. This is his second pair! And size 12 is perfect; sometimes he has to go up to a 13--in Puma's especially.

This is my second purchase of the same exact shoe, same color. Bought my previous pair in the summer of 2008 and gave them a good breaking-in, wearing them nearly every day since then for 3 years -- spring, summer, fall, winter. Extremely durable. Will donate old pair -- still a perfect shoe, just wanted a clean new pair.

Zappos.com is a superior online retailer! Their service is everything you would want it to be; fast, efficient, responsive and reliable. I've ordered a number of items, and have had to return/exchange for a different size on occasion. Returns are free and convenient. The service staff is exceptional. I would highly recommend Zappos.com without reservation.

Love these great, casual kicks. Perfect for running around town on the weekend. Fit is comfortable. Note these are actually mens shoes, so they are a bit wide and if you have a narrow foot they may not fit well. Great gripping soles. They do get dirty quickly as they are light colored shoes, but a little Folex spot cleaner works like a charm.

My order arrived quickly and the shoes look great!

I originally bought these simply because I liked how they looked. To my surprise, they quickly became my favorite pair of shoes because of their incredible comfort as well. The arch support is especially comfortable.

Love these shoes! I bought a pair in black in NYC in September and couldn't wait to buy another pair. They are comfortable and versatile and I've gotten complimetns on them every time I wear them.

Never bought sneakers online before so I was a little nervous at first as to how they were going to look and fit. When they arrived I couldn't have been more pleased. Overall they're a cool looking sneaker for kicking around in. Well ventilated so they should be really good come summer time. I did order up a half size larger and that worked fine as I can slide them on and off without having to tie them all the time and they still fit well so no worries about them falling off your feet. Really like them a lot and will be getting a few more pairs in different colors.

I'm a boy and I really need a shoe that's lightweight & flexible and still be durable & provide good protection at the same time. Ultimate 81s are the shoes that fulfill my dancing needs. Insoles are good. But I would rather replace with a running insert. Doesn't help that the stock insoles are glued to the bottom of the shoe. Other than that it's an awesome shoe!

I have around 7 Mexico 66 and this is my 3rd Ultimate 81. Onitsukas are so comfortable plus Zappos service is AAA.

I've bought 2 pairs of the Ultimate 81s now and I love them both. For a lightweight shoe they have good arch support and my feet never feel fatigued from a full day. All of them come with 2 pairs of laces in different colors so you can customize them a little. They definitely turn heads with some of the more bold color combos.

These are great-looking, casual shoes. Mine actually came with both the white laces (shown) and a set of orange laces that match the orange stripe. The break-in period on these is a bit long and they're not super-supportive, but if you don't have any foot problems you shouldn't worry. I always have to buy a size 11 in the Onitsuka Tigers when I normally wear an 11.5.
