What an awesome shoe! Alredy over one month in, grinding flip tricks every other day for a solid few hours. Damage observed = minimal. The front part which you'd scrape on the griptape when you kick is in almost immaculate condition. In fact, the first damage the shoe took was from caspers and heelflips - on the top of the tongue and top-side fabric just next to the tongue which started ripping slowly. In any case - Super sturdy class of shoe. Will likely last at least about half a year before total teardowns start to occur which is honestly admirable, as some 'skate' shoes rip on the first session. Mammooth leather lol. Will be definitely looking forward to get the same model again when the time comes and would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a sturdy skate shoe, especially with a robust front bit.

I love the low maranas but please keep making the marana mid in regular form. They are the best shoes ive ever skated.
Marana: amazing, workhorse of a shoe! It's my personal homebase after shopping around in other models/brands that don't measure up to my expectations/needs. Durable, flexible, comfortable, looks good, and has amazing flick because of that TPR (?) rubber toe cap. The grip lasts forever from the streets to the parks and pushing in between. I highly recommend this shoe to anyone looking to get their money's worth out of a shoe! All michelin cupsole models: Marana, Veer, Score, Joslin 1, Joslin 2 run small so go 0.5 size up, unless you have small/slim feet for your size. Go 0.5 size up in these.
Super comfortable, classic style, great all around shoe!
They look great! Thanks! I had to take .5 size up (EU) my normal size. Unfortunately, within a month one of the stitchings came loose. It took just one e-mail and within a day I got a coupon to order a new pair incl shipping! That's service, well done! I will never buy anywhere else!
I love these shoes, very confortable and grippy and are also very durable
fast and effective shipping! Very comfortable sneakers.
Serious pair of Johnny Crepps. As a bike rider not a skater I can still confidently say these webbs are the real deal - my footjam downwhips have never had so much sauce on them
Nice shoes
Best shoes I’ve ever had for durability and toughness. The style itself is a really well thought through design and it is quite comfortable too. They always recommend higher heels for comfort, but from my personal opinion human people are not designed to walk on two feet so our posture is not as accurate as it should be and so wearing high heel shoes doesn’t do any good for the hips in my opinion therefore I love the etnies flat sole and overall it is a very good made and long lasting
This shoe is perfect for skateboarding it lasts so much longer then any other skateshoe! Its comfortable got great boardfeel and is really strong, I would defintatly recommend this shoe to any skateboarder who has problems with with wearing there shoes down while skating! t
Best ever
Very comfortable!
One of the best shoes I’ve ever skated. The Michelin rubber provides amazing grip, really comfortable and shock absorbent as well as being extremely tough lasting the average skater I suppose a decent amount of time. I’ve been skating them a few of weeks now and still show very little wear.
Best fit, longest lasting
Very comfy
Der Schuh fühlt sich sehr gut am Fuß an und ist sehr bequem leider nutzt sich die nose von dem Schuh schnell ab wenn man viel damit skatet aber ansonsten keine mangel
The delivery man never came but i still got them and i love them they dont get off of my feet and they look really good
Very comfy shoe. Perfect fit & very smooth style. Love these shoes
ZERO STARS, I didn't receive the 2 products in my order so I want the refund as soon as possible.
Really comfortable shoe. My feet feels so light when I’m walking around in these, don’t really feel any tiredness.
I bought a size 12 pair, good fit and very comfortable.
really liked, very strong, very comfortable, I hope there will be other colors of the vegan series
Good all round! Not quite as comfy as the first gen joslins though. The tongue sometimes slips to the side and is uncomfortable but with a quick rearrange s'all good. Would have gotten new joslins but they have velcro and I'm not 12.
Muy buen producto.
Fast delivery
kicks are banging. got the vegan version. ive been waiting for one for a while now. i had two previous models but these seem more comfy-and less narrow. the michelin soles seem that they'll last a while. i ride bmx with alu pedals and so far they kick ass. cheers etnies for making a vegan version. will get more if you knock out more vegan colours.
Zeer comfortabele schoen, Tijdige levering, zeer tevreden.
This shoes are indestructible, it's my 3rd pair, no counting on stopping... These are totally recommended. The laces are like 3kms long though ! Comfy all day shoes that you can throw anything at.
Most durable and comfortable skate shoes I've ever worn. The board seems glued to my feet, awesome grip. For sure I'll buy it again
Great material, but the right foot could have been coloured more with camo
Great product and good quality skate shoes. I will def. Order my next shoes from Etnies ;)
very nice
Great!
Ras
Usually I need 44 (EU) when I buy Etnies shoes, but, as stated by many below, for the Marana I needed size 43. So I ended up buying one more :) Really comfortable, but since the tongues always slide to the side I really miss the rubber straps from your shoes. Especially from a "flagship" model.
Great shoes, very comfortable Definitely will buy another pair.
Good quality, durable
Good afternoon, Sorry for the delay in review. Excellent purchase. I only have one repair to do in the heel area, it is worn out and no longer have a "cushion". I am available to send a photo if you want to get better. Thank you.
After 2 weeks of usage it’s started to be damaged around the heels. And these shoes are not really confortable for everyday usage. This is my last purchase if Etnies shoes. I’m disappointed everytime. It’s doesn’t worth 90€ !!
Its fine.
Great shoes that seem to be way better constructed than Vans pro skate shoes. I’ve just moved from using them as they constantly fall apart.
Best shoes i have skated
Good quality
Best shoes ever for a skater kid!!
One of the best shoes I’ve ever skated. They are tough, durable and fit nice and snug without being too tight. Some of my pairs have lasted me 3+ months. This was when I skated everyday for 1-5 hours. Would recommend to anyone who wants quality footwear.
Great shoe for bmx or skate! Just wish I could have had the black/gum in my size.
The best shoes ever
They are very good
Love the shoes been skating them for bout a month and they’ve held up really well
These are possibly my new all-time favorite skate shoes. Extremely durable, comfortable, and good looking. The only complaint is the heel area does wear very quickly when doing a lot of heelflip tricks in my particular use.
Perfect fit, hrear shoes that will last a long time
Super comfortable, while not loosing any stability. I used to skate these all the time, but switched to other brands for a while. This is the first Marana with the Michelin rubber on it that I have skated, and I could not be happier with my purchase!
This is an awesome shoe
It’s been a month and the shoes are holding up amazingly, only noticeable wear, the rubber outsole on the front of the shoe is a little worn down and started wearing down about 1 week in, but that is normal because that is from my kickflips, I have probably done about 1,000 kickflips and the shoes still have plenty of life left in them
Love it very they are very comfortable they exceeded my expectations
Great shoes !!!
The best brand and shoes I have ever skate in my life
Very comfy and easy/quick to break in. I ride mostly bmx dirt and street style/flatland on a 20" Eastern Pay Dirt. The shoes perform exquisitely by NOT sticking to my Demolition platform pedals overmuch. There is very much a free feeling of lucidity instead of a feeling of being welded or strapped to the pedals due to undersole holiness. The Marana series are my favorite style, fit, and cut of Etnies-proper shoe lines. They're not too wide and puffy like classic site shoes, but they also not TOO narrow so they don't repivot my footing. The charcoal cavasuede and gum sole go really well with various guess nd free of blue denim jeans.
I've only worn these for a few days now, but I can already tell I'm going to love these. Extremely well made, they hug the foot with an extreme sense of comfort. The insoles are comfortable, the outer soles grip extremely well, and they seem to breathe a reasonable amount. Very happy.
Great shoes that are very comfortable and true to size. I can’t complain at all about them!
These shoes are pretty good I love the golden etnie symbol on the back, i still haven't skated in them yet but im definitely going to soon
They are great i love them! Good impact protection+good board feel. The hidden lace loops came undone but I dont mind 100% recommend. WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR BUY THEM NOW. I promise you will not be disappointed
Looks slick, comfy and durable
Best Marana ever created!
best shoes 🤘
This is my third pair of these. These are my classic go-to shoe.
Good skate shoe for the price. Mesh upper gets shredded faster than the rest of the shoe, especially if doing heel flips.
Order half a size larger, sized too small. Flips where good good boardfeel and super durable.
Love these shoes. Definitely getting again
Comfy as hell, decent board feel, great fit for wider feet. This is my go-to shoe for the foreseeable future
One of the best vegan skate shoes on the market right now! Can’t wait see more colorways. They do run slightly snug, but after you break them, they’re golden.
They’re very durable suede is nice and they’re vegan 🌱 great price as well! One think I really hope they improve with this shoe is the lacing system it does have the one under but my laces rip really quick at the top hole and there’s not another way to keep they out of they way and a final thing is they should put a little more rubber where the ollies happen as it’s not covered by the toe cap. Overall so far they’re very durable not a single hole in the suede apart from where my laces are worth the price imo would like a remodeled version a ton
Love the design and Style Cool Shoes
The laces are the first things to go. Wish they included a second pair on an otherwise great shoe
These shoes look good and feel good for the most part. I bought them because I wanted durability as I am learning my ollies. These have lasted about a month so far of 45+ min skate sessions about 6 days a week.
Solid. Michelin sole is durable but still flexible. Great grip. Nice breathable cup doe that looks light but cups heel like a glove. A couple skate sessions to break in. Great impact protection. A little time getting used to the flick. But overall a great mix of skate shoe. Sheckler summed it up best... it’s a skaters skate shoe. I just wish it came with some Etnies stickers lol
He love them
The best
Comfy, grippy, stylish. Awesome.
I’ve been loving these shoes. They are sturdy, comfortable, stick to the board, and stylish. I use them for skateboarding and freestyle BMX. I was going to order skate shoes from Vans or Nike, but I’m glad I chose Etnies for both style and fit. I’m a petite adult FEMALE who is 4’10” and I typically wear a women’s 7, so the size conversion for this shoe was a Men’s 5.5. I will continue ordering from Etnies.
These are the most comfortable shoes with plenty of cushion!
Super comfortable shoe. Everything I've always loved about Etnies. Ordered a half size larger than what my normal shoes would be per a number of other reviews and they for perfectly. I didn't buy then for a skate shoe, so I can't attest to the durability there but, in the short time I've had them I hardly wear anything else.
I’m just trying to return shoes to get a bigger size and etnies won’t respond over phone or email. I’ve tried several times over phone and email. If you order anything you will not be able to return it. They Claim they are too busy to answer calls but not too busy to sell and ship everything out!!!
These shoes are great! I would have given 5 stars, but they don’t offer wide sizes. I has to spend the first 2 weeks stretching them. Now that they fit, these shoes seem like they will last forever. I’ve been skating them pretty hard and they show no wear.
Such a solid shoe! Comfortable with solid protection. I love it
These are super dope. I just use em for special occasions. The tip of the shoe was kinda a bit too snug, but it doesn’t hurt my feet. I think because I have wide feet that’s the reason. If you’re thinking about getting these you’re sure to enjoy wearing them
D best marana ive skated love then i bought 2 1 for skatin 1 for everday casual wear 💯🙌🙌
Best vegan skate shoes I’ve had in years! Would buy again.
Best skate shoes of all time, hands down!!!!!
These shoes not only look good but are extremely durable. Love the Michelin rubber. No holes in the toes!
Bitchin shoes. Best pair I've ever had for bmx
Killer shoes, hold up very well as I abuse them daily. I would recommend to any serious skater.
Awesome shoes. super comfortable and durable
I'm so grateful Etnies brought back the vegan Marana! Finally a cup sole faux suede skate shoe. Thank you! I'll definitely be getting more.
This product is just what I was searching , durability, style and comfort. I would surely buy another pair! But in black. Thank you Etnies
Love it i have 2 of this 1 for skatin and 1 for everyday use
Very comfortable and good looking. Love the feel of them on my feet and very stylish. You
Fit good. Durable and lightweight. The broken in period was minimal and now they're very comfortable. The grip is excellent and they look great. Definitely gonna get another pair.
Wearing Michelin Maranas for years, they last longer than any other shoe for skating. Blackout Michelin Maranas look the best.
Dope
The Etnies Marana Michelin have a true to size snug/tight fit, straight out of the box. I'm not gonna lie my upper foot area (not toes) felt like they were getting strangled at first because of how snug they fit out of the box and how thick the tongue is (probably why), but they wore in very nicely after the first session! They seem durable and I have high hopes for them. Wish the material on the toe box was thicker as the impact of the board landing on that part hurts a lot, still better than most shoes though
Been skating for about 18 years now - brand-wise, you name it I've skated it. Obviously a lot that has changed in that time and not knocking on other companies but this is by far the best skate shoe I've ever put to use. I was instantly impressed in a way I've never been before - super comfy, super durable & great style .. do I even need to say more? I just hope this shoe sticks around for a while.
So far my experience with my first pair of Etnies Maran’s are truly amazing. I am surprised how comfortable they are, while staying true to your feet because they are a light shoe with awesome durability for flip tricks such as kick flips and 360 clips! Amazing shoe stoked to skate them even more!! :)
Fits great, wide enough for my wide feet. Very durable and stylish. I'll buy another pair if I ever wear these out.
great looking shoes with a comfortable fit
Not for wide feet. Excellent grip, Michelin souls lol! Light weight and very durable. I just wish skate shoes had a 2E and 4E wide selection. Breaking these in for a wide foot caused a lot of discomfort and buying a size up creates too much floppyness if you will in the toe. Otherwise this is a great shoe! Etnies are a great shoe.
Love the shoes, can't wait to skate in them once I completely destroy my old ones.
Got the Etnies Marana Michelin collab, NAVY/WHITE/RED. Looks great, and after 3 months of skating, the sole seems to be lasting longer than any other shoe I've had.
Love my kicks, 2nd pair not because the others were toast I just like them that much!
I love these shoes. I’ve had 3 pairs each lasting around 5-6 months and they are super comfortable. Definitely would buy again.
I absoutley love these shoes they are so comfortable
My etnies marana I got were so awesome! They look so good 🔥🤘🏻 Just keep representing the way you do!!
Great shoe, excellent price and speedy delivery. Couldn't ask for much more!
who ever said let’s put michelin tire soles on a skate shoe deserves a cookie,a beer, and all the greatness you could give them... this shoe is the perfect shoe... more color ways !!!!!!
Dope shoes. Comfortable and sturdy. I'm wearing them right now
most durable skate shoe that keeps you foot comfortable and safe from your deck.
Love the shoes they are comfortable they look sick and I will buy again
I love these shoes but wish Etnies would open up shop in Canada, or at least make their app available in Canada. I’ve loved Etnies for over 25years, but only lately discovered the Marana, which is by far the best shoe I’ve ever had.
Came in fast, and the shoes were perfect.
These are the definition of a good skate shoe.
Ordered a pair to have matching shoes with my son. These shoes are on another level compared to other skate shoes. Extremely comfortable and tough. Have gotten many compliments on them. Looking forward to getting more shoes from Etnies.
Best ever
Loves the shoes
The marana is a forever classic in my wardrobe. Weather I'm skating or just being casual. They last a good while as long as you're not spamming kickflips all day.
awesome grip
Tge shoes hold up better than most shoes I’ve used for skating. I skate almost every day and these don’t seem to wear down
My favorite etnies shoe to date! I've wore etnies my whole adult life except I got on a jordan kick for about 2 years and now I'm skating again after 13 years of not skating. So I got these, boy was I missing out on comfort for 2 years. The Marana is my go to, used to be faders.
Best shoes I've had in skating since the golden years of the Mike Vs and the faders. I've always wore etnies or Es accels. I've had a few others but always came back home, always. I got 2 pair of these I loved them so much.
Easily my favorite pair of sneakers. Super comfortable. Goes with everything. Would recommend to anyone.
Look great. Good fit. Shipping was fast
Way too narrow
My dad got me these shoes for my 12th birthday and I absolutely love them. They are like pillows for my feet. I love you dad. Maddux
Good ball around shoe I have 8 different color of maran's
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.
