The Etnies Marana has been an incredible shoe for the price. It's got an excellent level of impact absorption. My only gripe is even sizing down, they still feel a hair long on my feet. They best I can describe the feel of the fit is, narrow and long. For me it leaves an extra few mm of empty space at the furthest point of the tip of the shoe. It's made flicking kickflips a little challenging to get used to. Otherwise, the shoe has been great. I wrote an in depth review of it over on Board of the World. Just look for the Etnies Marana Review in the recent skate articles.

Had to replace an older, dark color of Marana's with these ones. They look good and feel great according to my daughter (in video).

The Marana is ruff & tuff. I absolutely appreciate Etnies making this shoe. You can’t get any other shoe that lasts so long. The brown color way is necessary to match the kit. Tons of respect to Etnies

The rubber toe cap is crucial. It’s lasts and lasts. Absolutely my favorite shoe for skating ever. Maximum respect to Etnies for a extremely durable long lasting shoe.

Got these for my boy he races BMX they stick to the pedals great he loves them & my bro & I used to rock Etnies back in the 90's!

Great quality shoes very comfortable will last years. had my last pair of etnies shoes (joslin) for 2 years waring daily still holding strong no major ware on the in or outer sole just grown out of them.

Etnies skate shoe history: Marana then Joslin and now Marana Santa Cruz. I will be very loyal to either Marana or Joslin, they never fail me. I love how Etnies fit, feel, cushion and sloooowly wear down.

This pair of Maranas surprised me in that they felt tighter than my other two pairs. However, a couple of days with shoe stretchers, some time out on the board and they are started to feel like home.
