Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Top-Quality Etnies Boys Kids Marana Skate Boys' Sneakers: Unleash their Skateboard Skills! by Josh Hamler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good buy for growing feet but beware of the size!

I bought these Etnies Marana skateboards for my 9 year old son who is just starting out in skateboarding. While the black and blue colorway was a hit with him, I was more interested in the shoe's durability and comfort. Overall, I felt these shoes were a worthwhile purchase. They held up well to many falls and skateboard scrapes, and the soft sole provided adequate comfort for hours of activity. However, I warn parents to be careful with the size. Etnie's sizes seem to run on the small side and we had to order a full size down from my son's usual size before they fit comfortably. While the shoes are well made, I noticed that they started to wear out after only a few months of use. While they're great for active kids who need a durable shoe, they may not last as long as you hope. Overall I would say these shoes are a good entry point for young skateboarders but be prepared to order a size up and you may need to replace them sooner than expected.

Pros
  • Etnies are great skate shoes and this was my son's first pair. He loves the fit and look of this shoe.
Cons
  • Although the product is available in Big Kid US size 1, it may not be suitable for children with large feet, limiting their options and forcing them to choose other shoes.
