Review on Etnies Balboa Bloom Orange Medium Sports & Fitness and Skates, Skateboards & Scooters by Chris Lacasse

I really liked the fit and feel of these shoes. They are very light and feel springy when worn and have good cushioning. They also look great and the materials look good. If you're just walking around with your belongings, these are good shoes. The upper is smooth but quite grippy and not comfortable to ride with your hand. Then there's durability. I skateboarded in these shoes for about two hours and they just couldn't keep up. Torn to shreds on the sides. The sole and upper are divided into toes. Even the bottom part around the edges was rough from a skateboard. I really like these shoes but NOT FOR skating.
