Based on my observations the Etnies racing skate shoes are a perfect fit for any man SEEKING comfort and style in their footwear. The black color adds a subtle yet edgy touch to any outfit. The sole provides excellent traction and durability for a skate or any activity. The only downside is the price point, which may be a bit steep for those on a budget.However, the quality of these shoes makes it worth the investment for any sneaker enthusiast..
