Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

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.

My wife loves it. The online catalog pics are great and accurately represent the items. It is pretty much like you are in the shop.

I love these shoes. Super comfortable and light-weight. I have a job that requires me to stand and walk around all day, and these shoes handle it great.

Love these shoes - get lots of compliments on them, too. Super comfortable and look really cute with jeans. Tip: order 1/2 size bigger than your shoe size like you would with regular Asics running shoes. They seem to run a little on the small side.

Very cute and comfy shoes. I was slightly disappointed about the material, it was different than I thought before physically seeing the shoe, but I've decided it's all good.

These shoes are great. They are really flexible, and lightweight, so you can walk around all the time without any pain in the feet. Great shoe.

It's a very light shoe, comfortable to wear and easy to just slip on. I've worn Tiger's for years and haven't tied the laces once. Not for sports but casual wear.
