Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

These shoes are surprisingly light and very easy to move with. I initially bought them to practice parkour and they have held up very nicely. However, if you are looking for high impact resistant shoes, these are not so great for big jumps. If you want speed and grip for flipping and tricking, I recommend these shoes. Overall, they are comfortable regardless of what they are going to be used for.

These shoes fit my feet well. I'm normally a size 12 and the 12's in this shoe fit fine. One issue I experienced was one of my heels was getting rubbed/sore from the shoe, but once I broke them in that issue went away. Pretty nice shoes and they look great.

Bought these for my son. He absolutely loves them. Has bought many of these throughout the years, his favorite by far. And the prompt delivery was amazing. Got them in less than 24 hours! Thanks Zappos, will see you again soon!

I love these shoes. Very stylish and very comfortable. I plan on buying a new pair soon to have as back ups.

These shoes are really light, and offer a good amount of cushion. I've been really pleased. They're not the most amazingly comfortable shoes ever - but my walking around a lot on a college campus feels fine, unlike most other stylish shoes.

As always Asics are my favorite shoes for gym workouts. I love to workout at my local crossfit and these shoes are perfect for are daily WOD.

I really love these shoes! I wasn't sure what size to order, since they were unisex shoe, but I went with my usual woman's 8.5. They feel slightly big, but I think an 8 might be too small. I have slightly wide feet, but they fit me perfectly, but I could see this being an issue for a wide man's foot, or a narrow woman's foot. I went with the unisex shoe because it seemed like the woman's only shoes were a little narrow. The color is great - goes with everything. The picture is definitely true to the coloring. They do have a high heel back, and it was causing some irritation on the back of my heels, but again probably a result of the unisex shoe. I just made sure that my socks were high enough up and it seemed to do the trick. Plus girls are used to torturing our feet! They have a little arch which is great - enough to feel supportive, but not over the top. I have flat feet and I feel like they have enough support to walk around all day. Anyway - love these shoes - look forward to buying them again in the future!

What can you say about Tigers that hasn't already been said? Slick looks, well made, comfortable as hell. The mesh allows airflow to keep your feet as cool as you look.

These are super comfortable. I bought red laces separate and now my shoes look sick. I definitely recommend them. They are really comfortable, but do not provide very much support.

These are fantastic shoes. They are super light and comfortable! Using Zappos is easy and convenient. It only took a few minutes to order and a couple days to arrive. Zappos is a great company!

These shoes are great and so is Zappos. I initially ordered the wrong size and Zappos upagraded my shipping so I could get the correct size faster. Great service and a great product. Way to to guys!

Super comfy shoes! Wider toe than any other athletic shoe I have. My feet were falling asleep on my elliptical trainer in my Skechers and Nikes, and I was glad these were so bendable and roomy; lightweight, too. The style is cute. I want to buy more in other colors! I am a 9 Wide, and a size 9 fit great on me (they are not labeled as wide).

These are very comfortable, stylish, and well made shoes. The sole is very grippy, and the shoe comes in many different colors.

I just retired my second pair of Tigers last week. The two pairs lasted me over two years each, only to be retired because I could no longer wash them and have them come out with white mesh. My last pair had orange, yellow, lime green, and bright blue. I never failed to go anywhere without making someone jealous. Not recommended for walking through wet grass or rainy days. Arch support is much better than converse, not as good as a running shoe: moderate. The support depletes over time, but after 2 years, it isn't unexpected. Price is excellent if you find them on sale, otherwise still worth it.

Highly recommended, however I do have a note about the color: navy/white looks like black/white (the navy is extremely dark) These shoes are super light, and extremely comfortable. Walking around a city or sub-urban area for a long time your feet will stay comfortable and cool. They also come with extra laces which is a nice touch. Cons: not any ankle support if that is important to you, narrow sole so if you have wider feet this may be an issue.

These shoes are super comfortable and are surprisingly stylish for an athletic shoe. I would definitely buy this shoe again.

I purchased these shoes after hearing that they had a relatively flat, incompressible sole -- as a CrossFit enthusiast and recreational Olympic lifter, that is just what I was looking for. The soles are flat with only moderate arch support, and very stiff. The bottom of the soles have very minimal texture, providing great grip. I use these for freerunning as well, excellent grip, but no cushioning, so make sure your landings are solid!

My husband's favorite shoes. He says they are light and flexible. He wants them in different colors. I love the quick delivery!

I am sixth months pregnant and have been looking for a comfortable sneaker with support. These are amazing!

I believe these are the best shoes I have owned! They are incredibly springy and well-cushioned; I can walk for any distance in full comfort. The quality is excellent, especially for the price. I very highly recommend them!

i bought these shoes to work out in. They are so comfortable that I wear them to work all day. They are well worth the price, and you get them the next day without even leaving your home!

Awesome! This shoe is light weight and made well. Very comfortable if you have to stand for a long period of time. They are great for running both on the street and gravel.

These Onitsuka Tiger fit perfectly! Perhaps being 1/2 Japanese, with Japanese feet help? Greatest pair of shoes yet.

I saw these on the asicsamerica website and I really wanted to try out a pair so I purchased these grey/black/white one's. When I first received the package, I was really exicted. These shoes are awesome and very comfortable! However, I wouldn't recommend these for running or doing any intense cardio workouts with them. They are very lightweight but there isn't much cushion for someone to do a lot of running. But these make great casual walking shoes. The style is really awesome too. I always receive compliments every now and then.
