Durable and comfy straight from the box
of Lauri, Blue Tomato Shop Helsinki, Blue Tomato, 23 Feb 2022
I needed a new skate shoes and wanted to try something from Etnies. I skate lot of curbs and ledges, but also transitions quite often. I wanted to have a shoe with a lot of board feel and durable enough to last whole indoor season. I bought size US8. It is a bit narrow shape, but after few hours it started to feel good.
I used these shoes for walking and working before taking them to the skatepark. I always do that to break them in a little bit. They felt pretty nice straight away when I strated skating with them. I really like the shape of the shoes. Sharp enough tip to guarantee a nice flick for flip tricks. Foam Lite 1 footbed works also perfectly for me and I don't need to change the insoles like I usually have to do. I also like a bit puffy tongue, which is offering a bit protection and comfort. Durability is seems to be great too.
All and all great skate shoe with nice price tag. If you want great board feel with durability, I can highly recommend these.
