Great shoe at an even better price. I only give it a 4 star because I highly recommend a good pair of insoles.

skating amazing just like I remember

I have several pair of etnies. The insoles are very comfortable. I wear these mostly for work or just casually. These are a bit more narrow than any of my other shoes. I’m typically a 9.5 medium width. I’m hopeful that they will stretch a little.

Everything ok perfect skate shoes superb quality and shoe feel.

I’ve had these shoes for a few weeks and love them. The styling is killer and the comfort is amazing. The only downside is the materials are somewhat lacking. The logo part on the rear of the shoe started to crack and flake off on the first day. Now after a few weeks it looks absolutely terrible.

I really really want to give a good review for these shoes as I am an late 90's skater and grew up with all versions of these shoes- the original Etnies version, the eS version sans the metal lace holes, the Sal 23.5's with the velcro strap, as well as the 2002 re-release and the later "skinny-version" re-release which we shall not speak of. I ordered a pair of Black/Black (love them) and White/Black (ehhhh) and I need to warn you that the color on this release's White/Black is not white, it's Cream. The pictures on the website are either altered, using a different material, or this is some kind of mistake. The originals weren't like this. I really don't want to hate- because I love the shoes, but I *was* disappointed when unboxing and I don't want others to go through this- if I had known the white suede was so "off" i wouldn't have bought as many pairs as I did. See the pictures and judge for yourself- notice the difference between the inner part of the tongue and the suede. BTW, the carpet in the picture is a cream-colored carpet and the lighting is natural daylight next to a window.

I’m giving them 5 stars because overall they are fantastic. It sounds weird but they are almost like if you take a Janoski and an Accel and combine them it’s the Loot. The shape is surprisingly good and the brown colorway takes me back to the Vallely/Elissa Steamer era of Etnies. I usually skate the kingpin or the accel but I really like these. They are pointier than those in the toe but somehow still not too narrow for my foot. The only thing I wish could be different was I’m not sure if I like the egg-crate midsole. It’s not bad and I’ve worn them all day without pain, but it would be nice to have a midsole with some type of foam in the forefoot. If you are thinking of checking these out, I would definitely recommend them. So far the have been VERY durable as well. Well done fellas!

Fit nice, feels like you have laces, easy to put on and fit snug. No heal bruise

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.

Unfortunately, I just realised that the shoes were not alike. The right pair has a production error. I have not used the shoes yet. Completely new. Can I replace 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.

These shoes match everything, amazingly crafted, great design, comfortable, and true to size. Julien is an amazing artist and skater.

I ordered a Ko Man Sticker and I got a plain Etnies sticker instead. I will be wearing in the future because simple choices ended up being a mystery.

I’ve always been a fan of Etnies since I was in high school which has been 15+ years. Finally came back and I’m so glad I did. Love the Calicut; they’re comfortable, and they look good with every outfit

Its been 14 days and i still havent got the shoes. Very slow shipping.

Nic mi nepřišlo šmejdi

The shoes are a 5/5. They are very much the same shoe from back in the day! I am happy with the sneakers. I wish Etnies put my shoes in a box before they mailed me them. They used a BAG , so the shoebox was destroyed. Luckily the shoes weren’t damaged! Use a cardboard box instead of those grey/white bags! I collect sneakers so the box is important to me also. I’m knocking one point for the box. Otherwise great sneakers!

Great shoes!

My 10 year old tore through these shoes in less than 2 months of use. Sole just unglued. The previous brand we used (lakai) stood much better. This is just disappointing and feels like wasted money.

These shoes I've had for 4 years and the treads on the bottom are still perfectly intact the only thing is is I bought two pairs and in one of the pairs the front of the shoe kind of came unglued a little bit in the front but that was it they were perfect after 4 or 5 years. So the black souls were Etnies 5 years old. The grey souls are some of the best Vans on the market not even a year and already treads are done.

These are ready to skate pretty much out of the box, the sole is 300 nbs and is softer which adds to board feel on a cupsole shoe! That's pretty sick on it's own, Ventilation is perfect, weight is on spot, if coming from vulcanized shoes then these are the perfect transition shoes to cupsole shoes, they are also very stylish, they are better the the cheaper version like the Ollie and the watered down escapes, 100 % recommended

These are tanks! They take a while to brake in, they are very sturdy, the inner side wall is very sturdy too I like that, it could be improved the nose trend to crimp a little on the leather, also being a very stiff shoe I think adding some air pockets would be dope, they almost fell like my d3's , over all I love them .

the state of the skate backpack market is really sad right now. this is probably one of the best, though. saying that, it has some pros with a lot of cons.

because of the laptop compartment that has velcro flap thing at the bottom to separate the charging block, the main compartment feels more like a mid-size bag. i use mine for groceries and frozen pizza box needs corner bent to fit. six of talls, some limes in the mesh and some munchies fits perfect tho lol.

straps are comfortable with and without sternum strap, and they have mesh venting, but back doesn't have mesh and there is no waist strap. so, every time you pop the thing flops around, also, the straps should have the "yolk" design to increase carry weight potential while prevent tearing. carry strap is just plain disappointing.

molle system is great, but don't know if they really intended people to use them as they don't sell any branded add-on bags. got some standard molle bags from Amazon. was an extra $40, but overall worth it considering slight lack or organization features.

single molle row on the sides are limiting. causing anything attached to hang and flop around. should be two rows. might be cost saving, might only be for carabiner type stuff, but short sighted.

side bags/water bottle holders are decent. however, zipper pockets are thin, so can't put in anything substantial, though, especially at the same time as a bottle e.g. wallet or skate tool.

material is ok, and that would be ok, if it wasn't the same material EVERYWHERE. tbh, if this is designed for skateboarding, then only 800d+ or an industrial diamond dobby stitch material with a reinforced bottom, and, if equipped with skateboard harness, some sort of extra durable possibly synthetic reinforcement where the grip is guaranteed to wear the bag.

overall probably a 7/10.

It's very stylish, although I customized with my laces, the black laces can't go wrong.
Michelin Outsole survived, not only, 3-6 hours of learning sessions including ollie variations but also way I walk/ride my shoes, I am very forceful on my heel region.

Overall, very useful shoes and it will save me money as ordinary shoes live short for me. It's true to size. I have wide feet, it fits pretty good. Don't forget to redo laces!

Ordered two pairs, one for me and one for the wife. Both came in fairly quick, both pairs fit perfect and we love them !! Thanks Etnies Canada 😎🤙🏽🤙🏽
