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!
