I love these shoes! They are super comfy and look cute with shorts and jeans. Get lots of compliments on these shoes. Can't say enough good things about them!

These shoes are so comfortable whether you're walking, working or biking. The color scheme is great and they really let your toes breathe.

Great looking shoe. I searched for awhile for a comfortable, stylish, all-purpose shoe, and this is it. It goes with almost anything, and the navy blue is especially versatile. It took about a week to get used to the fit - seemed a little rigid where the laces start near the toe - but now I wear nearly every day. And great price too!

Shoe fits perfectly and the colors match exactly as pictured (I've purchased shoes from other sites and when I received them, the colors did not appear as they did online).

I am very happy with my purchase. I was looking for a lightweight, flexible shoe and took a chance on the Tiger, which stylishly fits the bill. I am definitely going to buy another pair in a different color.

Awesome shoes, great with jeans. Kind of weird arch supports (high up on the foot). Only downside is that they get dirty quickly and are hard to clean.

I think these are really cute shoes. They could use a little more cushion in the soles. Even though this isn't really a gym shoe more like a casual athletic shoe; the sole isn't very thick. It is very cute and stylish and comes in so many colors you can't go wrong.

One of the few sneaker brands that look just as good in big sizes as they do in the smaller sizes, which I often have trouble with having larger then average size feet. Impeccable styling, great color combinations. These are probably the best fitting sneakers I have ever owned. I now own 9 pairs after first discovering them 3 years ago. I keep buying them as new colors come out that interest me. Also I love how they usually include an extra pair of different colored laces so you can change your look every once in a while. Love Onitsuka's and Zappos!

I bought a pair of these years back and loved them! I hadn't had a new pair until just recently, and as soon as I got them in the mail and tried them on, it all came back to me. They were just as amazing as I had remembered them being. Comfort, style and functionality! These shoes are amazing and I look forward to maintaining my loyalty to Onitsuka Tiger for years to come.

I love these shoes. The laces are a little small, but that's okay. They also come with blue laces, which was nice. I wanted to find a solid sneaker that I could wear with anything anytime, and I believe I've found them!

Best shoe that I have owned. Back pains gone. I can walk all day without sore feet. I have high arch and somewhat narrow feet. Mesh near pinky toe on both shoes tore after 6 months of constant use. I will buy many more pairs of these. Just not mesh toed.

These are my most favorite shoes in the whole world. I bought this pair to replace my old Onitsuka Tigers which had fearlessly made it through 6 years of constant use! They are perfect...comfortable, lovable, supportive and durable. I have worn my Tigers for everything - short hikes, a long day of work, as an everyday shoe - they work for every situation and keep your feet comfy through it all!

I love the look and feel of these shoes. I ordered the green ones. The shoes are very comfortable and breathable, but the back of the shoe comes up to high and rubs against the back of my leg. I might have gotten used to it with time, but it was uncomfortable enough that I returned the shoe. Maybe they come up higher than I'm used to because they are unisex instead of woman's? The Asics Gel-Spree do not come up as high in the back and are just as comfortable if not more comfortable than the Asics Onitsuka Tiger.

COMFORTABLE! Takes a little time to break them in, but they're nice. They do make some squeaky noise when wet and on a hard surface - mildly annoying.
This color is nice too; subtle. Using the grey shoelaces makes for great contrast.

When I could no longer find my beloved Adidas ZX Racer Mesh (seems they have been discontinued), I had to find a replacement. What I loved about the ZX Racers was how incredibly lightweight, low profile, and packable (in luggage) they were. The Ultimate 81s are a bit heftier in construction than the ZX Racers, but I've concluded that's a good thing (more capable in case of unforeseen sports activity). Don't get me wrong, they are incredibly lightweight, but the ZX Racers were almost slipper-like in their lack of rigidity. Anyway, I love the Ultimate 81s, enough that I've already bought two additional pairs in different colors. I'll definitely be buying more as the need arises. Great shoes.

This is the third pair of these shoes I have purchased in the last year and a half for my son. He loves them and won't wear any others. Stylish, comfortable, and well manufactured!

These shoes are great! The only thing I suggest is ordering a half size down when ordering. I wear a size 10 in every shoe except Dress Shoes and Boots, usually size 9.5. I ordered a size 10 and had to return for the 9.5. But, everything about the shoes is great. It looks good and is very comfortable.

I purchased these shoes for a trip to Orlando where I would be doing a lot of walking. They were fantastic! Very comfortable, stylish, and light.

Such a fantastic shoe! I bought my first pair back in 2007 that I still wear them every day. I was afraid I wouldn't find them again, but now that the Kelly Green color is back, I just bought them again (last one in my size). When my size/color is back in stock, I want to buy another pair just in case. Love this shoe.

Runs a little big, but, wow, is shipping fast! I just ordered a size smaller 9.5 see how that feels but when I wore the 10 it felt pretty comfy as far as comfort. And the design is awesome.

So cute! I just love these and too bad they still are not available, because I would love another in this color combo. They fit perfect, feel great and look cute too.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever put my feet in, I usually wear a mens 8-8.5 wide, so I purchased the mens 9 in this because its a medium width shoe. I am seriously considering buying another pair right now.

I love these shoes! They are very comfortable and they have arch support, which I didn't expect. It did take a few walks to break them in though. The back is high and it rubbed against my Achilles heel with every step. They say they are blue, but I see black.
