Super Monkeys - WOW!! If I had a lot of money, I would buy a million monkeys and train them to speak so that I can release them in the city and have them tell everyone how great Zappos is. The service they offer is outstanding. Anyways, I own a pair of Onitsuka Ultimate 81 LE before and they were amazing. I didn't think I would find them again but I found them here. They just arrived and yet again they are supreme. Comfort and style they Rock!!!

Great shoes! Needed a good solid shoe for drumming and was very impressed with the grip and structure that the shoe offered as well as the looks. Great for chillen. Zappos is where it's at.

Great shoe - I saw these shoes while I was shopping with my wife in Las Vegas. Loved the style. I found them at Zappos online and bought a pair. Because many reviews said they felt 1/2 size larger, I bought my regular size 9 1/2 and also ordered a size 9 the next day to compare and the 9 was definitely too small. These shoes DO fit true to size for sure. The arch support is pretty decent; I have a high instep and a high arch and the shoes are really comfortable. I like them so much that I just bought another pair, the last one available :) As far as Zappos service; it's second to none. I ordered my first pair at 9:00 pm EST on a Tuesday with the free standard shipping and I had them on my doorstep the NEXT day. I couldn't even believe it. I ordered the next pair (because I thought I might need a smaller size due to the reviews which said the shoes feel 1/2 size larger, but don't) and the same thing happened. I had them the next day. Wow! Zappos rocks!

Great shoe - I just received my shoes yesterday! The shipping was really quick. I got them like 2 days after I placed the order. These shoes are light and stylish! I wore them with some jean shorts and people were asking me what kind of shoes I was wearing! It’s a great shoe to walk in and to wear!

Even better than I thought - This sneaker is extremely comfortable. They have enough cushioning through the sole that you can wear them all day.

Great Shoe--Great Service - Shoes look and feel awesome. I'm even more impressed with the high level of customer service Zappos has. Most impressive to order a pair of shoes in the afternoon (AZ time) and then have them the next morning! No extra charge in shipping to boot...I love Zappos.

Spring Sneakers - I bought me and my son a pair. I like that they come with an extra pair of laces so you can interchange or replace the laces as you please. They are very comfortable and stylish and best of all... everyone you see is not wearing your sneaker, which would have been the case if I had went to the mall.

Tiger - Simply a great shoe, my 13 year old wears them and loves them. Beware they are a little '80s but that does nothing to harm them, just makes them different. My son says that they are the most comfortable shoe he has ever worn, (and he’s a runner!). Overall a great shoe that you can’t go wrong with!

THE BEST - ULTIMATE 81'S ARE THE ONLY SNEAKER I WEAR...I'm flat footed and most shoes have too much arch support and begin to hurt after a few minutes. NOT THESE!! They are great...SO EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE!! I wouldn't recommend any other shoe! Just get a variety of colors and TADA you've got the most unique sneaker wardrobe of all you're friends... I think one of the best things is whenever they get dirty...throw them in the washer then dryer and they're good as new and just as comfortable as before!!

JUST A DIFFERENT COLOR OR NIKE AIR MAX 180s or 360s are a good backup!

Grrreat Shoes - Yeah, these are awesome shoes. I walk a few miles a day, so these shoes are perfect, not to mention very comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

I love these shoes! Very comfortable, they look great with jeans or a skirt. Not much arch support, and I tend to have high arches, but I'm not hiking 5 miles in the things, so it's mostly okay. I am usually an 8 and they only had a 7.5, but they fit me perfectly!

Good, comfortable, and stylish kicks - Took these shoes on a trip to Singapore and Malaysia and they were great: breathable, light, comfy. They held up on hours of walking and still look sharp after many miles of trudging through cities/paths/biking. I recommend.

One of the more comfortable shoes I've owned. Fit is very consistent - I've owned other styles of Tigers and they've all been great.

Forward this to Kihachiro - Ok so the ultimate 81.s are the ultimate shoe (pun intended). They look great, feel great, smell great, they even look like they smell great! Everywhere I go people are always complementing my shoes (they could care less about me hah). I went with the multi color scheme to shake things up even more (I don’t know what picture is to the right or if there is a picture?) the only thing I would change about this specific color scheme is changing the sole from black to yellow or white (or another obnoxiously bright color). & that’s all I have to say about that.

Onitsuka Tiger by Asics Ultimate 81 - This shoe is very comfortable. It’s a good walking around town shoe and it looks very nice in the process. I would definitely recommend this shoe. I know the cost is a lot, but this is definitely a splurge shoe. Go and order them now!

I'm in love - Great sneakers. I like to get shoes that have a little flair to the style but aren't so funky that they won't go with the majority of my wardrobe. I ordered the black ones and the onyx/zinc details are definitely shinier and more unique then the picture lets on.

Wow! Amazing! These shoes are so sick! I love them! I have received multiple compliments EVERY TIME I'VE WORN THEM. They are great shoes. Onitsuka Tiger is quality and the Japanese design is both very functional and streamlined.

Fit well. Heel was a bit snug and caused blisters but that was temporary.
