Love the shoes so far.. Hope they last as long as their reputation says. Fit pretty true to size. Etnies shipping is slow as molasses.

Durable! And nice design.
Great shoe. Really comfortable and grippy on the peddles
Super comfortable
It looks good and feels good.
These shoes are the bomb. I felt like a kid in a candy shop when they finally arrived. The biggest hassle was getting the shoes over the border. After a short phone call my package was on its way. It was awesome to have such a wide selection of colour with this style of shoe but like any internet order it is hard for me to get the right size. Because I was so excited to see the shoes I decided to keep my size 9 shoes and order 8 1/2 next time. Live and learn I guess
I purchased the Etnies Marana because after hours of searching online I was led to believe they were the widest skate shoe on the market. This is false. Barely wider than Chucks. If you have fat feet, do not purchase. I only gave two stars instead of one because they seem durable and I'm hoping they stretch out, in time. If I had paid full price they would have went straight back..
They feel amazing comfortable just enough board feel long lasting just a all around great skateboarding shoe
Amazing product but came in couple days late.
really nice fit and super sticky grip.
Great colorway and lots of support
Great sale with some great Maranas
The new Marana and Joslin series are the ELITE skate shoes. I love them!
Dare I say it, currently the best skate shoe on the market?
I received these and they were EXACTLY what I ordered. The fit was true to size and once I wore them for a day or so they felt even better., but they did stretch a little bit after wearing them. One of my top 5 shoes. Definitely ordering another pair.
Super good shoes
I’ve been skating the marana since it came out,now that they have the Michelin sole they last even longer! Good board feel while still protecting my feet!
First pair were small, put them in the same box with the sent label, ordered the next size up and all was fast and easy. I will be buying more shoes from you.
I love these for longboarding and also roofing, excellent grip and sturdy construction
Best Skate shoes I’ve used so far, incredible durability on the common wear spots, the Michelin tire sole lasts very long and provides excellent grip. These are the only shoes that don’t wear out after skating 4-6 hours a day for a week or two.
First pair of shoes I have ever bought online and for skate shoes that’s a big risk in my opinion. Great fit right from the start but I went with a 12 to be safe because I have wide feet but normally wear 11.5. I feel like the 11.5 would be true to size and fit perfect. As far as comfort and how they preform, best shoe I’ve ever had. I can remember a pair of Globe shoes from about 10 years ago that felt similar but nothing since. The grip is insane and the tread pattern looks amazing and has a purpose. It took a minute to get used to how grippy it was but only a minute and it really is impressive. I can’t say much else except that I won’t hesitate to buy the same shoe again as soon as these start to wear down but honestly I am abusing these shoes and you can hardly tell.
Amazing comfort along with phenomenal grip
Super comfortable right out of the box. Love the shoe. They look and feel great.
Great shoe. One of the lightest, most comfortable shoes that I’ve ever worn. I love the Marana line and am glad I was able to get these on sale.
COMFORTABLE! Insoles are SO good! Any after-market insoles are CHEAP, by comparison! I work on my feet all day, these are probably the TOUGHEST shoes on the market! AWESOME!!!!
Love everything about the marana! Keep making this colorway please!
Hands down the most comfortable skate shoe I have ever put on! Great board feel easy to break in, can't beat the Michelin soles! Awesome shoe!!
Great shoe. No complaints. Thank you.
Beautiful, confortable and resistant shoes. The crew perfect. Five stars.
Exceptional grip, good shoe much better than the Joslin version in which the heel grip has started to wear out only after a week of wear.
The plastic and cloth material inside on the back of the heal breaks up and wears out fast. The rest of the shoe seems to be really well made. I've owned many different pairs of etnies over the years. This is the first pair to do this.
Incredible. Back for my second pair of michelins, which is my fifth pair of etnies. You'll wear the heel out before you burn the treads off these things and that's still gonna take like 6 months of daily abuse.
Too small...i need a return slip please
Exellent product I recommend it
Amazing. Excellent quality materials and fits perfectly. Very comfortable
Son enormemente boas, recomendoas. Única pega o prezo, que son carisimas
Great shoes ! Been skating them for a few weeks and hold up wel for a 43 year old reliving his youth 😀
My second pair of Marana michelin. The perfect shoes for me! You can't hardly ruin the sole, they got good support and they are very confortable!
Literally the most comfortable shoes that I've ever had. Super grippy. Almost like having your feet encased in pillows.
Very comfortable, I will be buying another pair
Great shoe for skating and walking. Nice understated look!
Awesome shoes!
Seriously comfortable and very nicely made. Will definitely be getting another pair and would recommend without hesitation.
These shoes are so comfy, just got my second pair and am loving them
I'd had a pair of Marana XTs previously and was starting to think I didn't want to skate in anything else - they're ridiculously hard-wearing, comfy from the off, and have possibly the best standard (i.e. non-custom) footbed I think I've seen in any skate shoe. The new Michelin cupsoles are clearly the icing on the very supportive cake =) If you're fed up of the current trend for protection-less plimsolls and the heel bruises they promote, give some of these a demo.
Great pair of sneakers.
I love this shoes I buy a lot of this etnies
Great shoe, these where my second pair. They're super durable even more so than my last pair. Great at taking impact and super grippy. The break in time on these is abit longer than Id normaly expect maybe the white sole ones are made diffriently? Would be 5 stars but I skated the Joslin Gray colour way and they where better for me.
f**king amazing
He absolutely loves the shoes I purchased, but they seem to run a little small
Best shoes ever! So much comfort!
Bought these on a whim. Couldn't be more impressed. This is the standard that skate/bmx shoes should be held to. After years of utter disappointment with (insert automobile named shoe company here), Etnies has won a new customer. Bravo. Take my money.
very comfortable and very supportive. nice shape of toe for kickflips. nice colour.
I got them last week. They are everything you need ! Perfect for skateboarding/longboarding, durable, extra comfy and i'd like to mention that this is already my 3rd pair and i have nothing bad to say about them. They are the best, i love them !
These are amazing! By far the most durable skate shoe I have ever owned. The insoles are cushy and do a great job of protecting your feet, although you do sacrifice a little in the way of board feel. I am over 100 kickflips on these and still haven't worn through the toe cap. Love 'em.
By far the best and most sturdy skate shoe I’ve ever bought, cannot see switching to any other shoe
Love the shoe! Favorite colors. Shecks is great homie. Only thing is I only wear my right shoe, anyone need a left shoe size 11. Is there a half off deal. In a wheelchair so can’t enjoy them skateboarding anymore.
Great shoes, a bit expensive but worth it.
Amazing shoes. Honestly really good value
Great skate shoe!!
Best and most comfortable shoes i have worn for skating and Bmx. I had my first marana etnies x plan B when joslin wasn't pro yet, had the OG all black. Now i have this collab with Michellin. Best shoes ever
Un poco duras los primeros dias. Luego perfectas
looking good , confortable shoees ,gripi sole for riding BMX
Beautiful pair of shoes, very stylish and you get exactly what you see. Not that comfy though, especially when wearing them for hours. Apart from that, highly recommended.
Very nice shoes! Like them a lot!
Best skate shoe out there. You won't be disappointed.
On my third pair of Marana's. They look great, are comfortable and hold up to the abuse.
Excellent shoe, I would prefer a bit higher ankle collar and more heel lock. It is very durable shoe except ankle collar that gets frayed very quickly due to way I do ollies and heelflips. Insole is amazing and it would be great to have it in more Sole Tech shoes across all brands.
This in my Opinion is the best performing/looking skate shoe in the biz. I have 4 other pairs of the older Marana and loved them all. This one is just a little bit better the outsole is SO GRIPPY it's insane. ALSO thought This was kinda funny but after unboxing these I noticed I smelt new tires, I gave the outsole a sniff and sure enough it smelt just like new tires... just figured I'd add that In too. Great shoe. Don't ever stop production if these.
Slightly more snug than my last pair of Etnies bit better all around. I'm sure they'll stretch. Lower ankle support, great color. Very grippy!
This is a perfect shoe! Everything about it is amazing! The fit, the cushioning, durability, it’s all good! Looking down at your feet while on your board they just feel right for skateboarding. Please don’t ever stop making this shoe!
Super comfy. Very stylish.
Lit shoes with good grip, perfect for beautiful summerweather.
I love this shoe, but you need to incorporate some similar shoes sizes for those with WIDE feet. I bought a pair a size up but it still hurts my foot.
I received exactly what I ordered, as requested. I ordered the wrong size shoe, my own bad, and I am currently waiting for an exchange. They the process, so far, they gave done whatever they can to keep my informed on the progress with my exchange. Emails have also been returned within a couple days. Quality wise, no complaints.
These shoes are bad ass! I Love skating in them!
Although they're a bit heavy, and therefore not perfect for summer like now, those are really nice shoes, and they have indeed a really long lifespan.
shoes are great quality, shame the sizing was a bit off - according to chart we got a size 8 and it fits but super tight and they don't ship to NZ so I had them delivered to a hotel in USA (whilst on holiday) and that was fantastic. Son will wear them but trying to stretch them a bit.
I commute to work by bike and use platform pedals. These shoes provide all the grip, support and comfort I need and are great on the bike. They also look great such that I can wear them with a good pair of jeans at work. Love these shoes.
Most comfortable pair of shoes I own. Can be used for casual or skate. 👍🏼👌🏼🤘🏼
Exactly what i wanted, I skate hard and these are made with a leather or whatever the tip of the shoe is so its good quality
The best
Shoes are perfect and i love them
Nice comfortable solid shoes. The colour is really nice and the grip is to be tested on the long term, seems promising though ! Nothing bad to say about them, 2nd pair of Marana's so far, i do recommend them.
Love these shoes! My old pair were the sheckler maranas
The best skate shoes ever! More durable than all skate shoes in the market that I tried. Nice grip outsole, nice impact protection, all around skate shoe ( I can do any trick without the problem that is going to slip out the board). They break in 1 week of skating or less. I love this red/white color. (I would love that etnies give me a free pair of this shoes in this red color for have 2 :D). I`m skating the 2nd pair of this Marana Michelin and recomend it 100%!
Thes best shoes
Most comfortable, most durable shoes ive ever skated. I will be purchasing these again
Amazing shoes. I have been using them for the last weeks and they steel seem to BE new.
amazing shoe! are sold out in Santiago, Chile :'(
A really good quality. I destroy all my shoes but not this pair ! I'm really impressed and satisfy. Etnies win one fidel client
Thank u ..
Best shoes I’ve ever bought! Also the best colorway!
Very comfy, price are good for these kicks. Colour is awesome and they are made well
Rlly good quality and best option to go on longoboard
He loves them their Dope.
These shoes are the best. They fit true to size, they may feel a little snug at first because of the extra padding. They have superior boardfeel for a cupsole, and awesome impact protection. I started skating in the early 2000's, so its awesome to see a company who still caters to skaters with hidden lace loops and a thick upper. I honestly have nothing bad to say about these shoes, and i am a very tough critic of today's skate shoes. I hope etnies keeps this model for a long time because i don't plan on purchasing anything but the marana ever again.
Awesome shoes! I am so happy with the way they look and they are so comfy too. Also, really fast delivery which was great
The shoe size is way small!!!! The shoe narrows at the front. I wear a size 10 men’s in other skate or regular shoes. This shoe you must get one size bigger or expect to return them.
Love the shoes. They last long and feel great. They have good support and great style. The loop inside to lace the shoe with is amazing. I don't skate anything else!
This shoes are the best! Great grip, comfort, impact protection and durability. The best way to get better the best skate shoe The Etnies Marana OG with Michelin. Thanks for create this shoe!
- Super happy with these. - Been skating Nike SB Janowski for a year and I don't think I'll go back. - Two sessions in and the SB would have started to show serious signs of wear. The Marana's still look practically brand new. - They feel quite stiff at first but they break in after about an hour of solid skating and then feel very comfortable. - It might just be me but I feel like the rubber toe cap gives you a slight extra bit of board control for flip tricks (and I'm pretty bad at those).
Great shoes, they are really comfortable. And two pairs for 90 euro's during black friday was just fantastic!
is the best shoes that I have I love bmx and dirt and this are the best shoes for this sports. I Love this shoes¡
I love the shoes they fit great and look awesome. The only downside is you need to make your shoes more accessible to Canadians since you don’t ship to Canada.
Nice shoe comfortable stylish The shoes have become narrow around the toe area making it slightly tighter How ever been wearing them with big socks for two weeks to stretch slightly Hey Presto it's worked . The reason I gave it 4 stars is that reason alone .
Best shoes in the market
Best skateshoes ever
i have had these now for over a month. i skate almost daily and still not a scratch. i f*cking love these.
A solid, well fitting and comfortable shoe. Skates well too, and has good board feel despite not being a vulc. The low cut ankle makes dragging your feet on the deck easier I find, as you get more ankle flex. They're holding up really well too, hardly look worn at all. Impressed.
The best skate shoes that i have ever had!
These were bought for my son as a present and he loved them. He said they fitted perfect and are comfortable. Would recommend.
Really nice looking shoes, and long lasting. I like to do a lot of technical flatground tricks, like double flips etc so I needed something durable. Will definitely buy again
I can't be more happy with my shoes, really comfortable, the size is perfect. I'am going to walk with them for a time before I skate them :D
Sharp looking creps stay looking good even with heavy use well pleased
This shoes are confortable. I love etnies shoes for there durability and original style but these seems to be more durable. I play drum and it gives good grip on the pedals. Perfect product ;)
Have skated etnies since 2011, this light be the best of them all, good work and keep it up
Amazing shoe, only problem I found was that the toecap looks a bit ugly. Skates amazing!
The etnies feel so good jumping down stuff you feel no pain at all it's amazing the shoe did wear down a little quick around the ankle but it's only a shoe but the michilen tire on the bottom is amazing
The best shoes hands down
These shoes are incredible! I've worn DCs pretty much since I was 8. The comfort and durability of the shoe just can't be beat! I skate for hours cruising or park, and these are incredible the whole time! I'll more than likely but these shoes for the next two decades of I can lol
fast shipping, good product.
Great comfortable shoe that has held up well with normal usage. The shoe itself is very well constructed with a shock absorbing and comfortable sole. The only cons that I have found so far is that they do not breathe the best.
Best shoes ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘
best. shoes. ever.. really do have good impact absorption and super comfy. why did it take so long for michelin to find etnies?
right out the gate, these shoes feel amazingly sturdy. A solid shoes that's comfortable and is staying true to what a skate shoes is. thanks for doing it right ! - hands down the best skate shoes out there -
Perfect
This shoe is awesome, nice cup sole, they last a long time, Etnies please keep making this shoe
They hold up amazing with skateboarding, and they have crazy awesome traction!
Very Sturdy shoe. Runs a bit small in my opinion. Great Soles, shape, and the rubber strip along the toe is great. One of, if not the best skate shoe I've used. The only thing I would note is that these are pretty rigid, and maybe not the *best* skate shoe to walk in, but pretty good. If you're looking for a great skate shoe - look no further.
Great shoe...........................perfect for scootering. Bottoms do not wear out near as fast as Vans
Of all the shoes my son has worn for sjateboarding, these are definitely lasting the longest. Well worth the money.
the bottom of the shoe is hella strong, this shoe has lace protectors so thats sick as well, the rubber toe cap lasts such a long time too. overall a sick shoe. i just wish etnies were more available in stores
The Marana is my favorite shoe period!!! The michelin outsole is brand new and I've skated two boards already with it.
Worth all the money because they're tough as fuck and last like 3 months
Love these shoes. I always buy this brand for my son. Excellent quality.
My 12 yr old son delighted with the shoes for stakeboarding
Super nice shoes well worth the money
Longest lasting shoes I've had so far they are really amazing wish I rode for Ernie's😅
THESE SHOES ARE NOT FOR WALKING BRUH THEY ARE SKATE SHOES SKATE BEING YOUR KEY WORDNOT WALK SHOES MAYBE YOU SHOULDVE BOUGHT SOME SKETCHERS IF YOU CANT KICK OR PUSH BROHAMMIE
The heel blows out for me earlier but it over all skates the best I've ever skated, way better than vans and adidas and Levi's and huff. I love this shoe and the new colab is dope and I hope as my career in skateboarding progresses that I I get to know etnies more because I'll for sure be skating them for a long time! Keep up the great work guys! 🙏🏻💯🎩👁
Great colour, stylish shoes, but better for driving and hanging around than walking. Less supportive sole than in my ten year old etnies.
The best shoe out there for me. Have been skating them for 3 years and I will continue to skate them forever
These shoes will help you shred the gnar
Difficult to pair but don't really care and they're just so comfortable! Use them for work and to meet clients... They just make big impressions with suits!
Good shoe
You guys rock
The haven't ripped yet and in been a month in a half. I'm just starting to go through the toecap. But the heel isn't the best the mesh rips pretty easy and the upper heel has ripped a lot for me. But overall a good shoe
Great shoes my last pair I wore into the ground lasting 3-4 years. A month in and these are holding up nicely haven't been able to skate as much as I would like but have been using them while I work on construction sites and are holding up nicely very comfortable but appears there is less cushioning from my last pair but still can wear them all day running around and not have any real foot pain. I will definitely be picking up a pair once I use up this pair
Bomb as fuck just like the rest of em lol keep up the good work guys cant wait for the Michelin colabs to come out
The only shoe I use for riding. In my opinion the best shoe available for bmx. Been riding this same model since it came out. Hope Etnies will continue making these for many year to come.
Best shoes I've ever bought. I use them to commute to work on my longboard everyday and they're the only pair of shoes that can handle all the foot braking! Plus I MTB a lot and these shoes are perfect for that too. When mine eventually die, I'll just buy new ones.
Simply The Best Fucking Shoes To Skate In. Fuck Nike
Simply The Best Fucking Shoes On The Planet
Love the shoe, very comfortable
Really good shoes, I still have to break them in because my feet are pretty wide and the shoe is sorta narrow, but overall really good shoe and the color way is cool.
They are the best shoe iv skated in my life.. they take a good while to even start to rip and I'll be never Goin back to any other make of shoe I'm stock to you Entines...
Really great shoes, love it,
Best shoe everytime ima stay buyin these last 2 months keep up the good work etnies
These shoes are literally the best skate shoes ever!! Ive skated so many top brand skate company shoes and these are just killin it!! Thank You Etnies!!!!
I'm very picky when it comes to skate shoes but these feel amazing my favorite shoe out right now
They are amazing. Flick on them is great. Can now do clean tricks with sick flick with these shoes.
Durable! Comfortable! All around one of the BEST shoes I've ever skated
These are great! Took a little bit to break in, but after they did, they are awesome! Had to readjust the way I flick to get used to the shape of the toecap, but overall, an amazing shoe!
These are really comfortable . Skating good . Really solid . I broke in them in like 1-2 days . If you are about to get your size you should get them on a half size more. Because my size is 8 and I got 8 , and they seemed kinda small, after I skated 2 days they became more comfy , but I'd rather recommend get on a half size more. I'll give them 5 stars because of the solid insel and durable rubber cap on the nose which really helps , the flick in these is so good (for me), but the only issue is the heel zone. When I do a heel flips it rips really fast , but it's not a big problem , I think . Thank you , that is my review .
Best skate shoe ever. Toe cap held up great. Great shoe all around.
Beautiful product, pity was the size: I bought the same size as ever (47) but the shoe was absolutely tight and could not be used.
Seriously best shoes I've ever skated. Most durable shoes out there
Got it for my hubby cos it is the one he wanted. looking for this Mariana and brown colour. So pleased. Great!
My son loves them!
The shoe is awesome. All my friends tell me this shoe last very long. And it's true. No holes laces didn't rip, nothing. And i've been skating them for exactly 1 month of 3 sessions per week. Very good breathability. These are cup soles but I still can do some technical stuff. My flatground game was on point. These are soooo comfortable. I love how they look. So i'm definitely buy these agin ( maybe in vulc).
First shoes I got and are barely scratched after 2 years
Best shoes ever for freestyle skateboarding! They may feel a bit tight at first, but then snug nicely. The sole is the longest lasting sole I ever have experienced /Lillis http://www.stefanlillisakesson.com
Looks exactly like the picture. They're really comfortable, and awesome.
this is my favorite skate shoe. I've bought 28 pairs of Maranas so far. Shoe normally lasts me 3-4 months.
These shoes are great !, they look good, feel good and seem really durable, the grip of the outersole is awesome.
love the durability of this shoe and the fact it come in canvas as i am a vegan. They do need wearing quite a bit to break in though , thats my only gripe with them.
Great lasting even doing flips all day long and super great grip. Ah, also massive "touch"! I only had to get half size higher as I normally use 8US with vulcanized soles and the ones I?ve got before were a little tight...
Awesome shoe. Definitely the most comfortable pair of shoes that Etnies has to offer. If you feet are really wide they may not work out for you though.
better than sex
... this is my fourth pair of Marana OGs :) Should I say more? OGs are one of the most comfortable shoes in my opinion. True to size, I particularly like this shade of the colour brown, laces match in colour too.
Fits a half size small. My toes hit the end of the shoe
Awesome shoes! Just, awesome
Chose these because they are vegan in the blue/white/gum colourway, took a while to find some vegan skate shoes that aren't just black canvas and/or really flimsy. Bit more than I would normally spend but I'm happy with them so far. Not skated them much yet, but they seem like they will be fairly robust, and they look really nice and are great for everyday use.
Stoked on these right meow. Got a 14 instead of the usual 13 i get, and it made all the difference. Maybe a little too loose, so a half size up would be perfect. They are light and breath well and look good. I love the grey and will probably get another color soon.
2nd pair of Marana's. Best shoes ever made!
i haven't worn a pair of Etnies in a while, and i saw these for only 25 dollars so i had to get them, i wear a size 13 originally but i bought a size 14 in these since they didnt have any closer to my size. they are great shoes to skate in and i barely feel it when im walking and when i think about it, it feels like a bed of roses. i love them
WOW, I stumbles over these shoes online looking for a new pair of shoes. I usually buy a certain brand, and thought I might try a new brand. I haven't had too much luck in the past with some of the big name ones. But I ordered The Etnies Marana black/gum I love them the snug comfy fir and the firm feel to the ground make these a great to me. I will be buying more of them in the future. Thought I would pass this on to others thinking on trying them. Thanks
Really good & really light & comfy with good impact protection but run a bit thin / narrow.
Never worn Etnies before until now but these are fantastic and great all rounders and at a good price. Got the brown/gum (fantastic colour with denim) and the camoflage/orange in the Maranas, just before they sold out. Do a lot of riding to work and mountain biking (with flat pedals) and a lot of walking everywhere too. The Maranas are sturdy and well made with a supportive and secure sole. Although a snug fit, they are utterly comfortable and allow flexibility and feeling. Consequently, I've ended up living in them all day, so I'll probably wig them out too quickly. I'll just have to get some more.
best bmx shoes ever
I have wide feet but this shoe broke in pretty quick. Light weight and breathable. Good price for this shoe. The only down side is the insole is thin and feels like it could wear out soon.
5‚me paire de Marana, toujours aussi content : belles et bonne chaussures, confortables, solides, ...
Where is the classic red Ryan Sheckler Marana? You dont sell it anymore? :( Awesome shoes by the way.
I love my new shoes!!
beast
best skate shoe out there
Don't know what to say but all im gonna say .. AWESOME!!
This shoe was exactly what I was hoping for. A shoe that was built specifically to take the abuse of skateboarding, particularly the toe area where your shoe falls apart in a week from flicking kick flips. I wish they would have extended it to the "ollie" area, but I noticed in the newer model of the shoe they did. I prefer the older style and this particular colorway, so I got this one. Gum and black colorway also keeps the shoe looking "newer" longer because it doesn't look as dirty. Kind of pricey, but worth the extra bucks for sure. Lasts at least 3x what a cheaper shoe does. I also like that you can skate it until it is nice and broken in without then almost immediately having to throw it away. Fits a little on the narrow side, so if you have wide feet you might want to look at something else. It fit me about as tight as I would want. Any tighter and it would be uncomfortable. Overall I would give it 4/5 - and only due to not extending the toe cap to the ollie area , (which they fixed in later models)
these shoes look amazing, skate amazing and feel amazing. i like skating cupsole shoes but so i wont skate the marana vulc, and the marana e-lites are a bit out there. these are perfect for chillin and skatin'. sweet shoe and would recommend to EVERYONE IN THE WORLD!!!
