Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Exactly what I was looking for. I've had great mileage, fit and comfort from my Asics running shoes over the years. Now I wanted a no fuss walking shoe. Onitsukas delivered. Just the right heel to support my stride, and way stylish. I ordered it a half-size up from my usual, as I do with my running shoes, and the width is perfect. I love it when I find a product that is close to perfect. Zappos made it soo easy.

They grow on you - I was worried when I first got them, but they fit perfectly now. The back may bother you, depending on what socks you wear. Overall, good throwback shoes for anything around town. Very happy with them.

Bombastic Basic Asics - I love these shoes! I have two pairs (different colors of course) that I always receive compliments on. The best thing is that they are sooo comfortable. I have narrow feet and they fit just right without making my feet look like floating boats. Not to mention that the color choices are to die for. If you're like me, you know that a fly pair of fresh kicks makes the outfit. These shoes complete my outlandish yet stylish motif!

Let me 1st start off with how awesome Zappos is..I ordered shoes around 8pm and when I came home from work they were there! I also ordered a last min. Xmas gift on the 23rd and got it on the 24th! Now for the shoes- they are probably the most comfortable shoes I own. They're light, breathable and stylish. I now have 3 pairs of these. I'd recommend these to anyone.

I wear a 10.5 in all other shoes and an 11 in these fit perfectly. The 10.5 was a bit snug in the left toe. Otherwise, a great shoe. Even though the sole looks too thick in the heel area over the internet, in real life they are much thinner and don't look funny. Great aesthetics. The shoes are very stable with good ground feel. They are also extremely light and agile. They are great for weightlifting and squatting as well as for running. I couldn't be happier with them.

Great looking and fitting shoe. Too cool! I love these new shoes. They fit great and I get tons of compliments on them all the time. Different than a lot of shoes in my local shoe stores.

Sharon K, Canterbury, CT - I bought these shoes for my husband for Xmas. He used to be a runner, and swore by this brand. He absolutely loves them! Says they are like wearing slippers- the most comfortable sneaker he's worn in years!! He often wears a size 10 sneaker, but the 10 1/2 fits him perfectly.

LOVE THIS SHOE - I love these shoes, so much in fact that I have six different pairs of them. They are so comfortable right from the box. They are really cute with jeans. They have discontinued my favorite color which was beige with light pink and blue stripes.

Love these shoes! This is my 3rd pair of Ultimate 81s and I love them. They fit my wide feet perfectly and I wear them for years before they wear out.

Need a little breaking in, but great shoe - Love this shoe, overall comfy but a little stiff at the heel and will need to be broken in a bit more. Looks good, like the contour.

I absolutely love these, they are adorable, and super comfy. I am on my feet all day at work and when I come home I put these on and my feet feel 100% better, and they are cute. These are my third pair of Keens, and these do run a 1/2 size small, as most Keens do, but unlike other Keens they did take a day or two to break in. After I broke them in by wearing them with thick socks for a couple of days they are now the most comfy shoes I own. I would highly recommend them, and I plan on ordering another pair.

Super Comfy Cool - They not only look cool, but they're super comfy which is a top priority for me with any shoes. It feels true to size and I'm always in between an 8 or 8 1/2. I got the 8 1/2 and I'm glad.

Very tall, slim boots. I am 5' tall and these boots are very high for me. I have to pull socks over the top to avoid the zipper rubbing uncomfortably against my knees. I often have difficulty finding boots that are narrow enough for my calves, but these are slim and fit great. Aside from the roughness of the top of the zipper, they are incredibly comfortable. I wore them with knee-high wool socks to a winter football game and I was one of the few people who weren’t complaining about cold feet. They are very lightweight, so I was surprised by how warm they kept me. They have also kept me dry in rain storms. Overall, I am very happy with these boots. The rubber tips make them not as sleek and stylish as I would like, but they are very practical.

Comfort & Sporty - These shoes were more than what I expected. Size was perfect. Want to make it clear that they are very comfortable and looks great if you know how to match it up with your shirt... Very light, you don't feel like you are wearing a pair of shoes.

They run big! I originally ordered a size 13 (my shoe size is 12 1/2) thinking that they would fit me fine since in other reviews people had said that they run a half size smaller than marked. Boy was I wrong! I ended up getting the 11 1/2 which fit great. This is the second pair of Asics/Tigers I've owned. They tend to run much bigger than marked - which is perfect for me since I have a weird shoe size. Overall, a good looking shoe - gotten a lot of compliments. Probably want to get an insole, however, if you plan on being on your feet a lot. Zappos, as always, did an outstanding job with the service. Once I placed my order, I got the shoes in 2 days! I don't think that there is anyone else on the web that can compete with them!

Great! I am very satisfied with my shoes. They are very comfortable, look great and feel like you're walking on clouds.

Most comfortable shoes I own - I have bad bunions on both feet that cause me discomfort in nearly every type of shoe. My Tigers are the first pair of shoes I've owned that I almost can forget I'm wearing. They're great for walking - super light! - and I often wear them with nice sweaters and jackets. Not just sporty. Great shoe.

SHARP - These shoes look sharp. The back of the heel causes a little irritation on my heel, but for wearing the shoe around town I have no problem giving up comfort for looks. I like the look of this shoe so much I plan on buying more in different colors. It's not all about comfort.

3rd pair... still love them - Absolutely wonderful shoes. Comfortable and stylish. This is my 3rd pair... each pair lasts me about 3 years. I don't wear any other athletic shoe brands because I'm so in love with these... always on the lookout for new colors. Do wish they had more in all leather.

Another Winner - This is my 4th pair of Onitsuka Tiger's and love them just as much as my 1st. It's exactly the style I want and the price is great.

Love these shoes!!! I have owned a pair of Tigers before and I wore them out. I finally found another pair that I liked as much as my old ones and they did not disappoint. I love this brand!!!

This is my third pair of tigers and they have been amazing so far. The textures and colors look great and they are very comfortable. The only discomfort was some rubbing against my heel the first 2 days of wearing them, but it went away after that.

I have mixed feelings about these shoes. They are very comfortable and are way less frumpy than other Clarks but the shoelaces come untied literally every 5 minutes.

Ultimate Indeed - This is my first pair of Tigers, I tried on several other models but they were not very comfortable (size 12). The Asic's Ultimate 81 is a great shoe. Plenty of support for a low top running shoe. The sole is very thick with enough give. These shoes feel very well made!

You’ll be happy!! The only problem with the shoes is that they were a bit "dressier" than I thought. Other than that, they are probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. The size fit perfect also, very true to size.
