Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

A lovely little shoe that takes you magical places. I require an insert to make these shoes as comfy as I need; but their powers combined result in the ability to move from one area to another with ease.

Took these to Europe for a EuroTrip lasting several weeks. I knew I'd need something extremely versatile, light weight, comfortable, and durable. This shoe delivered on all fronts. They were nice enough to get me into Wimbledon and strong enough to hike around the Alps. Quite possibly the best pair of shoes I've ever owned. I'm in love.

I loved this shoe. We used it as a dance hip hop sneaker during our dance camp and they were great. After being in shoes that hurt the ball of your feet half the day these shoes felt amazing to put on. They are extremely comfortable and have excellent arch support. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a sneaker that they can have on their feet the entire day without any pain whatsoever.

These are awesome shoes. I have always, bought and loved these shoes. Coming with orange laces looks better than the whites.

Great sneakers, just wish I knew they ran large. Ordered 11 as I normally do, but could have gone with 10.5.

I like the style It is so unique. It fits perfectly because it is made of nylon material. I wish they can make all leather (not suede) of the same style and color. I am eyeing Asics Corrido as my next purchase.

Okay, so I got these yesterday, so, it's a little early to write a really accurate review, but so far, they're fantastic. I've never liked running shoes until I put these on. On top of being great shoes, the ones I got went on sale the day after I bought them, so Zappos paid me back the difference and upgraded me to VIP for free. In conclusion, buy these shoes and buy them from Zappos.

My son wears them everyday. I love the orange laces that came with them. They are very light weight and comfortable.

These are very light, they look better on that on the picture. My son picked them out from the website and was not disappointed when he got them, he says they are ultra comfortable. As always Zappos' great delivery system, had them on our doorstep in no time, amazing! I do not know how they do it, keep it up guys, I guess I will keep buying shoes from you!

These shoes are amazing. I bought the White/Jet Black ones and they look so good with skinny and regular cut jeans. I get a lot of compliments on them everywhere I go. I have wide feet and I generally am not a fan of Nikes (even though I own a few pairs) because they are too narrow. But the Ultimate 81 shoe fits perfectly. They mold to my feet. I will never buy Nikes again, no joke! I bought 2 other pairs of these already and they live up to the ratings. I will probably end up buying every color possible in my lifetime, definitely worth the money!

This is a comfy and light shoe. These are casual shoes for me, I haven't done any training in them. Great shoe overall.

These are stream lined and hip looking.They do seem to run true to size and have plenty of room in the toe box. They are cushioned with moderate arch support and are perfect for someone wanting to move towards the barefoot less structured style shoe.

These shoes are really comfortable and come in every color. I liked them so much that I got 4 of them!

These shoes are light, comfortable, and very true to fit. I enjoy them, and the color of the shoe makes them great matches for a range of different color combinations.

I ordered these shoes and they were a half size too big. So I decided to return them and get the right size. It was super easy to return thanks to Zappos, and they even upgraded my shipping on the new pair for free! I have been very pleased with shopping with Zappos and will definitely be a returning customer.

I recently purchased the Tiger Ultimate 81's after an exhaustive internet research excursion. Originally, I followed one reviewers advice to get them a half size bigger than I usually wear; but when I received them, they were (take a guess) half size too big. I sold that pair to a co-worker who immediately fell in love with them while I ordered a second pair in my proper size. I've had them for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love them! They are extremely comfortable and functional. I get lots of comments on their stylishness too. They're comfortable to run in, but I really love them for crossfit exercises like jumping and weight-lifting. I look forward to putting these on prior to each workout. Great shoes!

Bought these a year ago and still love 'em! Great fit, super comfy, and breathe really well. I've even been using them instead of my hiking boots because they stay comfortable for so long, and cushion your step really well. Cute style, too! If I had to find a fault with them, it's that they get wet quickly when it rains because of the mesh on top, but it's a trade-off for the breathability. I would certainly buy another pair once mine are too worn out.

These shoes are comfortable and unique looking. They seem to be made well. I would definitely recommend them.

These shoes are in a word...Terrific. Pros: incredibly light. Well-made. Great colors (white/navy/gray). Reasonable arch support. Good ventilation. Cons: trade-off for lightness is less arch support than in traditional cross-trainers. But most of all, these look so good you're never going to want to get 'em dirty! My selection criteria in order of importance goes likes this: 1) Comfort, 2) Looks, 3) Durability. The bad thing about shoes is they are like luggage, a bad pair can just stick around forever mainly because you can't return them and you feel guilty about throwing them away. However, you may buy these particular shoes without hesitation! These are my second pair of Onitsukas and will definitely not be my last. The first thing you will notice is that they literally leap out of the box because they are so light. You can literally feel like you're barefoot almost. I've also walked around 10 city blocks in them and have had no heel or arch discomfort whatsoever. I should say that I usually put in inserts into all my shoes and have not yet had to do that for these. To top it off, the white/navy/gray scheme will pretty much go with anything in your wardrobe so you need not worry about these cramping your style. As for overall durability, my first pair of Onitsukas have held up just fine after nearly two years and I expect these to be no different unlike some other brands like ahem, Kangaroos-cough, cough. So what're you waiting for? Join the revolution and get yourself a pair of these pronto!

I love these shoes, I was initially afraid they would be too narrow for my feet but once I tried them on they were perfect. These are honestly the most comfortable pair of sneakers that I have bought in a long time

Tiger's are great. They are light and comfortable. It doesn't feel like I'm even wearing any shoes. I highly recommend them.

Great shoe. At first I thought it would be a bit flimsy and not offer enough support for walking around a city all day or standing for 8+ hours at an outdoor festival. But they hold up well, and my feet don't get tired. I'd definitely buy again.

I love these shoes! I was expecting a fashion sneaker without much comfort, but these are really well-cushioned and supportive. I can walk for miles in them, and they work for the gym in a pinch.

I originally bought these to replace my old running shoes and loved them immediately. They also look good with jeans and I found find myself wearing them to work a lot. Perhaps the best thing I could say is that some random stranger passed by me on the sidewalk the other day and said, "nice shoes."
