1st pair has over 60 miles on them and decided to buy the back-up pair, because 2 pairs cost as much as my Asics Cumulus 11s. These shoes are as cool as Zappos! I usually wear a 4E width but have no problem running 10+ miles in these.

These shoes are great! I wore them for so long, and they were comfortable up until the bitter end. I walked on 3 different continents with them, and through many different terrains. I finally had to give them up when they started getting holes in them (and believe me, I didn't want to get rid of them)!

I love these sneakers! They're sleek and lightweight. Definitely great casual walking shoes. I wouldn't wear them for hardcore physical activities like long distance running though. The arch support is great too. Also, Zappos has wonderful customer service. Free and fast delivery! Don't hesitate to buy these. Also, at first, these felt a little narrow. But after 5 hours of wear, they're just fine.

Good looking, comfortable shoe. Has a firm, thin sole much like many Puma shoes, but thicker. Good styling.

Much more comfortable than the Mexicos. A great, light, stylish shoe. Can\'t wear when it\'s too cold out because they\'re pretty breezy.

Exvellent shoe. More or less flat thin sole useful for martial arts, tai chi, but also good for walking around town. Note small differences between the black and white models: the black version has a reflective heel counter and the white doesn\'t; the black is suede and mesh, the white is leather and mesh, so the black is a bit softer out of the box. Both excellent shoes.

Great shoe, but if you are a 10 1/2 get a 10. They run a little large. I love you Zappos! Amazing customer service!

I bought my first pair of Ultimate 81s a few years ago, in full-grain leather (which I haven\'t seen available for some time). They immediately proved to be some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever purchased. Since then I have bought three more pairs, one in split leather and two with the mesh panels, and I wear these four pairs of shoes almost exclusively. So comfortable, and they do attract compliments. Some of my friends have since bought Tigers and they love theirs just as much as I love mine. Highly recommended.

Not bad so far. I was worried about the really small soles - being that I'm only 5'8. However, hasn't been a problem. They have become my new favorite sneaker. They look great with shorts & jeans. Awesomely comfortable, too.

What more can I add to all the other reviews. These shoes are deceivingly cool; the colors may be off-putting at first, but they accent a pair of blue jeans perfectly. If not for the somewhat outdated, but not terrible, foot bed design, it\'s almost perfect pair of standout trainers.

I have a number of foot issues from flat fleet to constant ankle/heel pain. I purchased these while on our Southwest vacation and did a lot of walking (especially in Las Vegas) in these shoes without any pain whatsoever. I definitely recommend these shoes both young and old.

I bought my first pair of Ultimate 81s about a month ago following the advice of my physical therapist, to reduce shock absorbed by my spine. I think these are great for a moderate amount of walking, but my PT disagrees. Regardless, they are totally hip and I rarely have back pain when I\'m in these. About my feet: I have super high arches and relatively narrow feet.

Great sneaker! Took about one day for them to fully break in but I now wear them all the time and get compliments wherever I go! Not a running shoe, though. Very comfortable and stylish but not ideal for exercise.

I consider myself pretty loyal to Adidas, but these are the most comfortable shoes I have. Super lightweight (great for summer) and no break-in time needed. Stylist too, with great colors. I have two pair and am thinking the next kicks I purchase might just be another. Highly recommended.

Love my new Tigers! Super comfy and even came with another set of different colored laces. Ordered them at lunchtime on a Wednesday and when I got home from work on Thursday, they were waiting for me. 5 stars!

Attention Veggies\/Vegans: This color combo Black\/Birch is non-leather. I own these and they are man-made materials, so if you\'re looking for non-leather get \'em!
