Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger deleted

Love the color. I was afraid the brick red color might be a little too light and pinkish, but it’s perfect. This is my third pair of Ultimate 81s. I didn’t realize this one had a corduroy texture, but I love it.

Comfy

This is my favorite shoe for doing Tai chi. The sole is thin and flexible, the fit good.

Overall I really like the shoe. The corduroy is cool. I have two other pairs of Onitsuka Tigers in different styles, both in size 12.5, and these shoes in 12.5 are noticeably looser.

I have ordered many pairs of Ultimate 81s in the past. The unisex sizing always fits the way I expect it to in the length and width. The unisex sizes are slightly wider than the sizing specifically made for women. So, a thicker sock will usually take up the extra space in the shoe and still provide comfort. These shoes are stylish and super comfortable. They are great for travel and errands around time. I highly recommend the brand and style.

Depending on the shoe, I wear 12, 12wide, 12-1/2, or 13. My feet are moderately wide. Sneakers are usually a 13 for me. These fit more like dress or casual shoes, so the 12-1/2 was too long, but comfortably wide at the ball of the foot, and felt compliant enough to stretch where needed. Going down a half size to 12.

These are great shoes! I've had several pairs over the years, and I love them. Extremely comfortable out of the box, and surprisingly good support given their slim profile (I have a neutral step). I can wear them all day w/ no trouble at all. They are also really good looking! Great with jeans. I often receive compliments about them. I am only sad that my favorite color combo, the grey with orange stripes & laces is no longer available! Lots of other color options though.

I'm really digging these shoes. Really comfy with a wider sole and shoe than some of the other Onitsukas in their lineup. The material is easy to get scuffed/stained, so make sure you are treating them with a protector of some kind. Even with using some, I already have a couple of marks on them. Either way, love the shoes!

NOT a running shoe. NO support and not really very comfortable, even for a "day walking" shoe.

Great style and comfortable.

The "Red Brick/Taupe" 81s are a lot more... pink than I expected. I feel like the color should be labeled "Coral" or something instead of Red Brick. It's not bad enough that I'd return them, but definitely not what I hoped for.

Great casual walk around shoe. Wouldn’t use it for serious running.

Style and support are awesome. These come with long laces and definitely run small, at least half a size.

Image is incorrect. Not the same mesh or color.

Compared to some of the other Tigers, this model has more support in the arch and the footbed (it isn't quite as flat). In appearance, it is slightly less hip than the Mexico 66 version. With the nylon mesh and white stripe around the base it looks a bit more athletic. If I hadn't found a pair of charcoal colored Taos sneakers that work better for me, I probably would have kept these.

So originally I ordered a half size up as some of the reviews suggested, but I had to return those for my actual size. I could have maybe even sized down a half size. Super cute shoes and really comfortable!! Very happy with my purchase:)

Great all-around everything shoe. Made from different materials than I've seen on Tigers before. Very sturdy and comfortable shoe that gives you that "grip the ground" feel you get from Tiger.

These shoes fit well, are comfortable, and look good. I’ve purchased several pairs of these over the years and I’m never disappointed.

Excellent pair of shoes! I use it for parkour so I like how light the shoes are while still giving you great support and comfort!

These shoes are exactly what I thought they’d be. Great comfort. Great looking shoe. Zappos got them to me in about 12 hours which is amazing to me.

They look nice but the heels slip even though the rest of the shoe fits. Zero arch or ankle support. My feet cramp up each time I wear them but it’s too late to return :-/

Love these shoes, have had many pairs of the Ultimate 81s and they have been my favorite shoe. Fit great, good support, and last a long time

The fit was a 1/2 size smaller. I usually wear an 8 1/2 had to size up to a 9. There was no arch support so I would need to use an orthodic but it didn't fit. Love the style and color of the shoe, so sorry they didn't work.

Loved them but had to return for a bigger size.

These are my second pair of Tigers after falling in love with the classic style. These are my first 81’s though and I adore them. The red is vibrate and a stand out in the crowd. The arch support is high though so even if you’ve had Tigers before, but not 81’s, be forewarned. While I have high arches and love the support these have, I could see how others have felt the opposite. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.
