Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

The only shoe I need. It's comfortable, great for short runs, sprinting, casual wear, gym workouts, etc. I own two pairs and will likely be purchasing more. I have found a shoe that fits my life. Zappos has excellent costumer service and a very reasonable return/exchange policy. They are there to please you.

This is the third pair of these that I have ordered. My husband and son are both very pleased with the quality and look of the sneakers.

Not a lot of support, but everyone loves the laces.

These are great shoes! Be aware, that when thay are brand new, they\'re a bit firm. I\'ve been wearing Saucony Jazz for years which are like shoe-pillows, so when i started wearing my Tigers, i got a blister on my heel. Now that they are worn in however, they are amazingly comfortable. And they are vegan made. Great shoe.

Shoes are very comfortable! I have a wider foot and they fit great. I love the look of the shoe and have gotten many compliments on them. I wear them to work, to workout, and as casual shoes.

Love them - uber comfortable and look great as well. Thinking about picking up another pair or two!

Great shoe. Light, breathable & comfortable. Looks great, too. I wear my new pair all the time. Plenty of support and cushioning.

A nice shoe, old school running shoe look and style. Wore them 'til they got dirty, then turned 'em into skate shoes. Did well for a while, but obviously did not hold up to the abuse for long.

These shoes are so awesome that I want to tell you how much they suck so that people won\'t keep buying them before I can! They are of good construction, having survived bars, forests, school and every other situation I could throw at them. They look good with a low profile plus they\'re not bulky like the skate shoes everybody wears nowadays. I love them.

Great shoes. True to size. Amazing service by Zappos overall!

I've worn these almost exclusively for five years. They were originally designed as running shoes, so they're outrageously comfortable. They also do wonders for the drape of your clothes. Jeans hang very nicely over them. They're also great for sprinting -- a fact that I probably enjoy more than most, being a runner. But if the urge to sprint ever strikes you, go for it. I can tell you for sure that when you're running for the bus, you're much better off in these than some other canvas sneaker.

My favorite shoe of all time. It practically oozes style, looks good all year around, and I love how lightweight they are.

The shoes are awesome. They feel great, fit true to size, and they don't look like boats on my size 14 feet. They are a bit flashy, and I don't have much that matches them, however they are so comfy I often throw them on anyway, just so I can wear them. They are great at the gym, pretty good for running, and alright for change of direction sports (solely due to lack of ankle support).

Very stylish shoe. Fits very well and is very comfortable. Will definitely buy another pair in different colors.

After reading Born to Run I wanted a shoe with less cushion. Onitsuka Tigers were my first running shoe in 1974. I bought these 3 weeks ago. Have run on them several times including a 10 mile tempo run. They feel great. I\\\'m hoping to be comfortable enough in them to run a marathon in October in them. Much less cushion than I\\\'m used to. It is nice actually feeling the ground.

I love the style of this shoe and the comfort. There are no pressure points and it\'s wide enough for me. I did insert an arch support as I needed it. I will buy this brand again. Asics are the only brand of sport shoes that I own.

Another hot buy from the Onitsuka Tiger line! The width and length are perfect and the color (true blue/birch) is, well, hot! This is my 3rd pair of Onitsuka's and I have been consistently pleased. (I also have the snake/black and gold and gold/black.) These are awesome sneakers. You should buy a pair or 2...or 3. Just save a red/lemon pair for me, please.

Nice comfortable shoe, that looks and feels good. There is not much in the way of support for a sneaker, but for casual wearing it\'s perfect. I wouldn\'t run or work out in these shoes, but they are great for walking.

The color, the fit, and the price are on point! The sole of the shoe looks a lot bigger in the website picture than in person. They also come with grey laces which look, in my opinion, better than the blue. There is moderate arch support, so these are great for walking longer distances. I ordered the wider width and a half-size smaller, and they fit great! I have a wide toe-box, so I'm glad I made that choice. Great with the skinnys, leggings, and bootcuts. Versatile! Thanks Zappos and Asics for an awesome shoe!

This shoe is great with shorts or jeans, very comfortable for casual use. Lightweight, decent arch support, but not a running shoe. Usually wear size 9, but I had to get this shoe in a 10.

Excellent pair of shoes. I bought the white\/black ones because they use synthetic leather and I am a vegetarian so I was happy Zappos mentioned this in the description. I use them only for jogging\/running and they are great, not too narrow and just support to make my nightly jogs even more enjoyable. I have nothing negative about these shoes.

Great retro shoe! Love the colors and style. Looks great with a pair of jeans or shorts. I added insoles to help make them more comfortable.

Excellent shoe - love the fit, comfort, quality. Zappos shipped them free and I received them the next day; it's incredible! Be warned, Tiger shoes are made pretty big. Go a half size to a full size lower than your typical Nike athletic shoe. I usually wear a size 11 US, I ordered these in a 10 US and they fit perfectly.

Felt true to size. I typically wear a 10 1/2, but in these I wear a 10...They're perfect.

I bought my first pair of Asics a few months ago and three days later I bought my second pair. I have absolutely fallen in love with Asics Ultimate 81s. My feet are on the larger side (I wear 9.5 to 10s), but I wear a 9 in these. Also one thing that I love about them is that they don't make your feet look big at all like some shoes, which I like a lot. These shoes offer a sporty and comfortable look that's great for casual wear. Also, Zappos offers a fantastic selection of colors by offering neutral color combinations and more "in-your-face" and fun color combinations, which is hard to find in any other store. So thank you Zappos!
