Etnies Men's Fader 2 Skate Shoe

The outside of this shoe is awesome, it is clean and fly looking. The downside is the seams in the inside of the shoe right at the base of the toe on the top(Seam right under where the laces start) they are HARD, so hard they hurt like hell after wearing them for 10 minutes. You either have to wear 5 socks or put egg crate in the shoe with your foot to mitigate the hard rubbing on the top of the foot. They just look so damn good though.

I love these shoes. I have always had wider feet so back in junior high & high school I lived in the skater shoes. So comfortable! Years later I'm still buying them.

I've been buying Etnies Fader shoes for quite a while. I cannot praise them enough. They are minimalist enough for me to get by wearing them at work in a professional setting and wear at a casual get together. They cradle my feet and i can't seem to find another shoe like them. I will continue to buy them as long as Etnies makes them.

The only thing wrong with them is they were a little tight around the width of shoe but nothing a little stretching can’t fix. I really like these shoes, my daughter gave them to me when she graduated from high school in 2010 (that she wore junior and senior year) and she has now graduated college and they still look good except around the toe area it is bending and creasing so it was on for the hunt for another pair!

Fit good and are really durable. I remember getting airwalks, etnies, adios and others skater shoes when I was younger and these ones are always comfy as hell. Thats why I bought them again as an adult. I work as a Barback at a casino and I'm around kegs and slick floors and soda bibs all the time and they stay secure and easy to clean and stay black. Worth buying again and again.

The shoe runs smaller than normal. All other shoes and Enties I have purchased have been mens 10.5. Always. This pair is was ordered and arrived as mens 10.5 but small in length which caused toes to rub. Returned for larger pair. Waiting on the arrival. The shoe itself is good quality as expected from Etnie but this runs small.

Quality and comfort Is timeless. Same great feel and comfort from my skating days. Passed down the greatness to my child. Big plus they carry his size which is very hard to find in store ( any where ).. fit as expected and came just in time for school. He loves them and would definitely get more in the future.

Just as advertised true to size great buy since they can’t be found in stores by us anymore

I actually originally bought these because I needed some comfortable shoes for work but I ended up liking them so much that i'm keeping them for wearing out and about. They have good amounts of padding round the tongue and heel which help keep a snug fit. They look well made too so will hopefully last a long time.

Reasonably priced, look good, feel comfortable. I'm a sucker for Etnies and DC trainers and thought I'd make a change from the normal "solid black" trainers I buy on a yearly basis.Would recommend. I've swapped the laces for Hickies because I'm lazy.

Perfect as I would expect from this brand.

Stiff to start with they soon shape to your feet and become comfortable

Bought for my boyfriend who is really pleased with the fit and says are very comfortable and true to size
