Will probably never find a pair of shoes better. I have just bought my 4th pair of these. I have tried other Asics but the Ultimate 81's feel like they where made for my feet. I use these shoes for every day use and work. I stand for 6-8 hours a day and sometimes the floors get pretty slippery; however, these shoes grip very well. I just wished that they lasted longer (usually last me a year).

Most comfortable sneakers I own - I'm a huge fan of the Adidas brands of shoes, but when I bought my first pair of Onitsuka Tigers, I had an immediate new favorite. These have been my go-to shoes on every occasion. I have over 35+ pair of sneakers and dress shoes and these by far are the ones that I wear the most. I like the style so much, I have them in three different colors.

These are, by far, the most comfortable shoes for the sport of fencing that can be bought, and a lot cheaper than shoes actually designed specifically for fencing. Your feet are basically on the floor since the sole is so thin, they almost feel as though you are not wearing shoes at all. This is very nice, because it allows for a complete sense of movement and directional change (critical to my sport). I bought the Red/White color combo, and the flashy design is also extremely useful (forces opponents to focus on my feet, allowing me to be free to take advantage of the attention loss) and fun. The shoes came so quickly that I couldn't understand. Very good shoes.

a great gym show - I needed a new gym shoe - one that would be appropriate for light jogging, biking, workout machines, etc. This shoe was comfortable from the onset. I purchased the grey and it looked exactly like the photos online. For longer periods of active wear (over 2 hours), one might need additional arch support.

Asics / Onitsuka Tiger Development/Sales/Marketing Team, or whoever it is that is responsible: Please make new designs available! That or make more of the out-of-stock sizes! Or even better: I bought a pair of these in '03 that were all-suede uppers and then khaki all over, including the sole, with black stripes. They went with near every kind of outfit. They were the perfect shoes. I still wear them despite the nearly worn through sole. Quality shoes and nothing else since has been remotely as comfortable. Perfect fit from the moment I put them on in the store. Make those available here. I promise to buy 3 pair outright. Yeah, that should do it.

I love this shoe! If a perfect shoe has ever been designed with me exactly in mind, this is the shoe! It is so perfect and so stylish, I love this shoe! The shoe looks way better when it arrives, it's the materials and the vibe of the shoe. The online pictures do not do justice, if you're intrigued by the shoe now, then get it and I promise you when you get it you're gonna love it 100% more. Thank God for Onitsuka Tigers!

Comfortable and casual - Tried these in stores, but none carried half sizes over 11. 11 was too small, 12 too big - so I found them on here and went with the 11.5. Perfect! Comfortable fit. Highly recommend.

These are some very stylish sneakers. They definitely aren't for serious sporting activity (they don't have much support) but they are great for just casual everyday wear. They are very lightweight and breathable also, so they are very comfortable (especially in hot summer weather).

I have been completely in love with Ultimate 81s for about 5 years. Literally the only sneaker I've bought in that time frame (4 pairs). They're incredibly comfortable immediately, and only get better with age. They're light, flexible, and they last forever (my original pair is, though worse for wear, still intact and wearable). It's like you're barely wearing shoes at all. They're great for standing and walking tons, and I've even hiked in them. The colors are amazing, and I've always had tons of comments on them. I only wish I could customize them like Nike IDs.

Give them a week and you'll never take them off - I got blisters on the backs of my heels in the first week of wearing these shoes, but it might not be entirely because of the shoes (it rained, so they got a bit wet and probably chafed). After they broke in a bit, they became super comfortable. I walked about a billion miles in them on vacation and they held up just fine. The size felt right, the colors were spot on, and they're really light. Several times now, I have gotten them fairly wet by accident, and since they are mesh on the top by the toes, my socks got wet immediately. However, they were quick to dry and they didn't get funky. The only reason I want to order new shoes so soon is not because they are worn out, but because there are so many awesome color variations available that I want another pair!

Fantastic shoe! I received the Zappos exclusive Ultimate 81 and have since worn it with just about everything. I mostly wear skinnier jeans and these fit wonderfully with that. They also went well with shorts. And it's from Asics, so comfort is a given.

This is my all time favorite shoe! This shoe has been on of my favorites for the past few years. As always Zappos has the best selection. The shoe is made very well and is a great everyday shoe.

Very comfortable, great looking shoe! These shoes are very comfortable and wear very well. When I first tried them on I thought they were a size too small, but that didn't prove to be the case. I think my foot was just a bit swollen from the dress shoes I had been wearing all day. These shoes are a must have!

Power color shoes. I am a Manchester City fan and hardly ever wear the color red as that is the color of Salford United aka Manchester United. But these shoes were too dope to pass up. They are very comfortable and a little wider than the Mexico 66 models that I also love. I have feet like a monkey so I need a little width. I feel like the coolest bloke on my block when I wear these trainers. What better way to announce your presence with loud/bright shoes? Just ask Liam Gallagher what is important in life other than a top haircut and he would say a good pair of trainers. I love these sneakers and would love them more if they had them in Man City Blue. Tigers are the best sneakers I have ever bought. RECOGNIZE!!!!!!!

I got these in black/steel gray and they are SO cute! When I first tried them on, they were pinching my pinky toe on one foot and I was disappointed and almost sent them back. Then I realized that the tongue is very thin and it was folded under near my toe. Now I always straighten the tongue, and they are comfortable. I will probably buy more of these in the future--hopefully they will come out with some more girly colors.

Beautiful shoes - I got these in red white and blue (best color for casual shoes), they are sharp! They feel great, support is fine, and water doesn't leak through really. I live in Juneau, AK and we get a ton of rain! These are great, I've even played some gym sports in them and they hold up fine. Gorgeous shoes. Absolutely floss'n.

GREAT!!! This shoe is so comfortable. Since I have an arched foot, it really has a lot of support and it fits to my foot like a glove! I got these shoes in green and I've already gotten many compliments about them!

Love my new kicks! And super comfortable, too. I was worried about that. The tongue goes up a bit higher than I'm used to, but they've already become my favorites. Love that they included an extra set of super cool orange laces, too.

Cute and comfortable! I ordered the green ones. They looked like they were green and white on my screen, but trust me, they are green and silver (like the description says). They also looked kind of clunky on the screen, but they're not at all. They do take a little breaking in, but they are very comfortable.

Really nice shoes - Really comfy and really nice looking shoes. I may put in a Dr. Scholl's Gel insole to add more cushioning, but overall, it's really wonderful!

A great shoe! Fit was perfect: not too wide, not too narrow. They look freaking great, too. Not too flashy, but way stylish. First day at work with these, got a big hand full of compliments. They aren't as flat as some of the other track-inspired shoes out there. These have a bit of padding at the heel, just enough to give you some lift and soften the walk. I'll be ordering another pair.

Good shoe - Not for working or standing around all day in, but a good versatile shoe that is light and comfortable. Looks and feels really cool, good for going out in or even jogging. Recommend++
