Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

These are great shoes, they are light and comfortable. My only problem with them is that they developed a few weird metallic streaks on them.

I couldn't be happier with my purchase! This is the second order I've placed with Zappos for Ascis shoes and both pair have been just as promised. Great pair of shoes that seem to hold up well and are true to the style, color and comfort as they were described. Of course the delivery on both pair were here in record time, which is one of the reasons I pride myself as a return customer. Keep up the good work Zappos!

Great shoes. I looked for a long time, trying to find some shoes that had a flat sole, and were low profile. These shoes are awesome. I love the color, and the style, the color I got (black/birch) has a white sole that gets dirty quickly, but that is the only complaint. I stand on my feet all day long, and these shoes are awesome, my feet aren't really tired after wearing them all day long. A+

Very pleased with these shoes, this is my second pair of Tigers all together. Fits true to size if maybe a tad bit small. I use these shoes mainly for casual wear or light to moderate athletic activity. It seems some materials hold up better than others on these shoes. This has suede so it looks like it will last longer than some of other types with more plastic on them. Zappos service on these shoes was extraordinary, I order these late in the evening and got them the next day. I couldn't believe it.

Absolutely love these shoes. These were my 2nd choice in color since my size was unavailable in the other color, but they are great and I'm able to wear them with virtually everything. I go back and forth between sizes so I error to the larger size and they are pretty roomy, so if you are deciding between sizes, you may want to go with the smaller size. I have wide feet and they are extremely comfortable for running around!

They\'re lightweight and were comfortable right out of the box. Though I prefer thicker soles like those on Saucony Jazz, I highly recommend these.

These retro shoes are exactly what I had been looking for. As usual they were here within a few days of ordering without paying for expedited shipping. I have bought at least 6 pairs of athletic shoes from Zappos and have been extremely satisfied with their performance.

They are really comfortable. True to size. I get lots of compliments on them. Go for it.

Zappos is great because if you fit one Onitsuka Tiger, you'll fit them all, and there's such an amazing collection! So shopping for these shoes on Zappos was easy. These are my 3rd pair of the Tiger's and I'll always come back for more. They are the perfect everyday sneaker!

I love these shoes! They are super comfortable and have great arch support. I have to be on my feet all day and these shoes not only look great while I do my thing, but my feet don't hurt at the end of an 18 hour day.

This is my second Onitsuka pair. I bought them for my trip to Europe as I knew I was going to be doing a lot of walking, and they did not let me down. I hope to be getting another pair soon!

Great shoe! Best of all Zappos upgraded me to free next day shipping. You guys rock!

These kicks are super comfortable and light. They come with two sets of laces, as well (white and navy blue) and they change the look of them quite well! The edges around the bottom of the shoe where it meets with the sole the touches the ground are of a harder material so that they won't scuff or get dirty as easy as one would get with suede. Definitely a great purchase and thoughtful design for comfort and materials used!

Exactly like others said. If you are questioning what size you might need, go for the larger size because they are a little small. Since others said that, I managed to get just the right size by taking that into consideration. These are very light, comfortable shoes and I am very happy with my purchase. They are pretty narrow but I have slightly wide feet and they still fit great.

Great shoes, really comfortable but still sit low on the ankle. Other shoes I had like that had almost no padding but the Onitsuka Tiger's are awesome. Look great with shorts or jeans.The only problem is that there were so many great color combos that I wanted!

Excellent shoes! Very comfortable. Initially it felt as if there was quite a bit of arch support, but it either flattened out or I've grown used to them. I'm not a fan of arch support so I liked this. I wear them every chance I get. They're very easy to keep clean too. I think I found my new shoe of choice. I use them mostly for casual wear and I have run in them as well. Excellent for both!

I own 3 pairs of Tigers. I always go with a half size small. These shoes are comfortable, stylish, and hold up very well. I highly recommend them for casual use. They do not provide enough support for walking around all day.

I'm trying to go to the minimalist side of running and wanted to try these shoes. I did 10 miles in the first run and they were great! They even fit my X-wide foot. I'm looking forward to see how long they will last.

Zappos service was outstanding! Their rapidity on delivery was accurate and the product well presented. I actually called to change shoes size and costumer service was excellent. In what the shoes may concern they are great! I really love them. Quality is great same as comfort and looking.

When I bought these, I was a bit nervous about their fit - a lot of the cooler shoes out there tend to be a bit narrow (and uncomfortable). However, these fit great and are crazy comfortable. They fit very true to size. And the fit is kind of like Adidas Sambas but with more cushioning. The only thing I worry about is durability, as the shoes are synthetic materials (not leather). But they\'re light, breathable, and comfortable. Great shoes - I\'d order another pair in a different color if my wife didn\'t think that was excessive.

I bought these for my fiance. He is a 12.5, but we got the 13 and they fit perfectly. He says they are definitely not a running shoe (not enough support), but they look really good on and are great for walking around\/going out in.

What can I say except that Zappos is perfect. I tell so many people about Zappos. I worked at a school, so there are a lot of people! Thank you for being such a great company.

Ultimate 81. These shoes are the ultimate. I have owned more than half a dozen of these shoes and have done it all in them; work out, walk, hike, dig holes, climb trees, whatever, all day. You can wear them until the outer soles are worn into the insoles and the stitching still holds. Plenty of support where you need it, I've got high arches and narrow feet and feel right at home in these shoes. Zappos does it right too, so if you don't like 'em get something else.

I love these shoes! They are so light-weight and hip. The color is awesome. I ordered one half size larger. I think one of my feet is longer because I work at Trader Joes and walk all day and need a shoe that my toes wont press against. I'm totally happy with these! They are pretty wide.

I own two pairs of the Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81. I picked my first pair up on a whim at the mall; their modern-retro styling and bright colors were a fantastic break from the over designed sneakers that are so popular of late. After wearing my first pair for nearly a year, it dawned on me that I was a little disappointed each time I picked an outfit that didn't match my Ultimate 81s. So I decided to get another pair. The shoes run about a half-size small, so I bumped up a half size for my second pair. I'd like a little more arch support, but I have really high arches, so YMMV. I'm confident, though, that you'll get a steady stream of compliments on your kicks. I haven't found a pair of casual sneakers that match these guys for style. They're fantastic.
