Very comfortable. Great style !

I remember when these shoes first dropped; i looked at the description and thought: 32: lit, i still rock my OG Shiloh and am on my 3rd pair of Lashed FTs. Etnies: dope, pushed in these exclusively when i went through my skate-punk phase in high school. Scott Sctevens: shreds. hands down all-time great. I have Defenders of Awesome (1 and 2) on DVD. water proof? insulated? specifically designed for grip on snow and ice? these may be the perfect shoes. Gotta find out for myself, I thought. I live in the snow-covered puddle of Moscow, Idaho. In this city the sun nary shines from October to May, and when it doesn't hail, it rains snow. Only once, after walking in pouring rain on Moscow Mountain for 3 hours when i didn't bring my smokejumper boots to a field lab, did my feet get wet in these shoes. Seriously, lacing on these kicks is equivalent to strapping a 2005 Subaru Outback with snow tires onto each of your feet. 8am walks to class in 2 feet of snow have never seemed so doable. Whether it be to the rowdy parking lot of Lookout Pass, the icy village of Schweitzer, or the powdrous base of Brundage, these shoes will be on my feet at 5am and get me to my shred day, while also making me look absurdly fly. The black ices of the WinCo parking lot are no match for these thickly-treaded monsters. These should literally be the official shoes of the Idaho Panhandle. My feet do not get cold in these shoes, ever. The only comparably good pair of shoes I own for the conditions is my LL Bean Duck Boots, which I wore every day last winter, and subsequently began to smell like my high school gym locker. I now do a rotation of the two, with these being the dominant pair at maybe a 80/20 ratio as they are far more comfortable and do not smell like a sauerkraut factory. If I could give these 6 stars I would do that.

These boots are beyond perfect. When I first put them on, it felt like I had already broken them in for season. I love that they’re waterproof too! And the sueded oily finish allows me to dress them up or dress them down; whether at work or out in the woods. Keep up the good work at Etnies
