The shoes in red and gold are very cool looking; people always tell me how much they like them. When I got them, they did not feel wide enough for my foot, but as I have worn them they seem to have formed to my foot. I would still like them a little wider, but I think I have wider feet.

The shoes fit amazingly straight out of the box. I loved that they came with black and white laces, great for making bar laces if your into styling your shoes. Once again Etnies fails to disappoint with a great fitting shoe that's comfortable to wear all day long.

I got the Black/Blue variation, and I love it! This is a really well put together shoe. Good support and good padding for comfort, while maintaining good flexibility for skateboarding.

This shoe was great at first, but after maybe 2-3 months they started to fall apart right by the the arch. If I walked in any sand or dirt, it would get in the shoe and stain my sock.

I bought these shoes from the site about 3 months ago they are very comfortable shoes and they held up great with biking...and after 3 months of biking with them they were still in great condition. The bottoms aren’t worn away too bad and there are no rips or tears in them; and with how much I bike and wear them they were great.

Great shoe for the office - I purchased these shoes for the business casual office I work in. Very comfortable shoe with a lot of support. The only drawback is they don't breathe very well, and my feet are noticeably hot at the end of the day. Otherwise, great, comfortable shoes, especially for an office setting.

Comfortable - I wear dress shoes all day, so putting these on feels like sticking my feet in fluffy clouds. Support is fine, and I think they look good (I got the white ones).

Good school shoes - I bought these shoes for my son who is in high school. He really wanted to wear a skate shoe, but has wide feet. I had to buy a size and a half larger than he wears just to get them to fit. Wish this company would realize that not everyone has narrow feet. Otherwise my son is happy with them.

Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Nice looking shoe, but not good for wide feet. The shoe has an excellent look/style. It has extra cushion, and it has rubber straps that keep the shoe fit. My son has wide feet, maybe a D or an E but I doubt an E. The length of the shoe is a tad bit too long but it is too tight. If you do not have a wide foot, it should be very comfortable. The tongue of the shoe is very thick and comfy, but beware if you have a wide foot.

Nate's Shoe - I love Zappos. Both of my son's have size 14 and size 15 shoe sizes, I can always find them on Zappos and I am also able to find a shoe that they want to wear. The shipping is the best out of anybody that I've ever ordered from. The order always comes the next day, so we don't have to wait forever. That alone sells me on this site!!

Cool skate shoes - My son likes these shoes. He says they fit well and are fairly comfortable (not a lot of support in this type of shoe, but not bad).

Great shoes, great service - I ordered these shoes on Saturday after shipping hours of Labor Day weekend. I only got the regular free shipping service and received my shoes Tuesday afternoon (no shipping service on Monday). I could not have asked for any faster service. The shoes fit perfect and are very comfortable. I have gotten lots of compliments on them.

Etnies Fader - My son picked these out for himself - they look cool, but he wishes they were wider. A size bigger and they will fall off the back of his foot, so he's keeping them and hoping they stretch over time.

Great shoes! I always liked Vans more, had a pair of Etnies once before so I gave them another chance. Great price and great comfort! I’m always on my feet at work so I needed something comfy! Thanks! Zappos rocks!

Great shoe! It feels great and looks great too! The only downsides are that the letters on the side fade a little bit and the sides are kind of thin so they deform a bit. Other than that I would recommend them to anybody.

I use these mostly for mt. biking, but end up wearing them most of the weekend. Also great for skateboarding. I always go to Zappos when in need of shoes. Best customer service on the internet. Usually get my shoes the next day. Thanks!!!!

Very pleased - It is very hard too find shoes that fit just right for my son. We ordered another brand of shoes from Zappos, but unfortunately they did not fit. I called the 800 number and they instantly helped with my return. Not only that but they called back shortly after and informed me of another shoe...the Etnies Fader shoes. They were a perfect fit.

I bought these for my son who says they are very comfortable and well-fitting. His foot is a little wider than normal and these give him plenty of room across the foot.
