This is my 9 year old son's third pair of these shoes. These are the only pair of shoes he will wear except when playing football. Each pair lasts about 6 months of very hard wear. The comfortable and great looking.

These shoes are awesome and worth the price. My son wears in between a 1.5 and a 2; his feet tend to be on the medium-narrow end and the 2 fits perfectly so they must run slightly small/narrow. There is lots of cushion inside for sweet young toes!

These blue etnies are great! My son loves them and so do I. The are sturdy, durable and a great style and color. I am very impressed with the value for the great price. Also Zappos customer service is matched by none. I will buy my family's shoes from Zappos from now on. An amazing company with amazing shoes. You can't go wrong.

Although the shoe laces were much shorter than the shoes he just grew out of, my grandson who is age 6 loved these shoes! Thank you Zappos!

My 6 year old son loves then and so do I! This is the first time I have bought Etnies, but I have always heard great things about them and I must say, it is all true! These are especially wider than most shoes, which I love because my son has wide feet. The colors are Rad! Green is my son's favorite color. This shade of green is bright and awesome! I'm sure I will be buying many more of this brand of shoes!

Great Shoes - Really love these shoes. My son likes the artwork on the sides and back...And I like the fact that they seem to be durable at this point...with a 7 year old boy, we go through shoes like Kleenex...Would definitely recommend these as a great alternative to the canvas Vans that seem to not last long at all.

My 8-year-old LOVES them... I ordered them a half size big, as skate shoes tend to run snug, and I was glad I did. My son loves the shoe for school and general running around the neighborhood, and thinks he looks cool doing it.

My Son Loves These Shoes! These shoes are well made, as other Etnies have been. These shoes look great and my skater son loves them. I purchased the Metal Mulisha color and these hide dirt and are very cool!

My grandson loves these shoes. They fit great, he wore them all day and said they were comfortable and didn't hurt his feet at all.

Etnies Kids Faders are fabulous! We had searched umpteen skater shoe websites for these shoes, to no avail. None offered kids sizes. We were thrilled to find them on Zappos!

Awesome shoes and service - We love the Etnie Shoes that we purchased for my 9 year old son. He is very picky and loves the look and comfort of these shoes. On top of that, Zappos automatically updated our shipment to overnight and my son was so excited when they came the following day. Of course, mom loved it because I was not charged extra!

Shoes are great. They seem to run smaller than normal. I would suggest a half size bigger.

Good value, fast service on this shoe! We tried on a pair of Etnies at the mall and we thought that the youth size 5 1/2 fit but when we got the shoes they seemed bigger so my son has too wait to grow a bit more because they are too large. Overall we like them and don't feel we need to return them for a smaller size. As we think he would quickly grow out of the size 5.

These shoes are as cute as they look. Unfortunately the laces are very short and won't stay tied. We had to go out and buy new laces. Also the tongue is very thick. I would probably spray them with a waterproofing spray immediately as they are suede and easily marked by water. They do seem to be comfortable enough but the laces coming undone constantly put my son off after just a few times.

Very disappointed, construction of shoe very poor. The stitching started coming out within 1 week of wear and in about 1 month there was a hole worn through the padding in the back of the heel. I would never buy this brand again.

While my son loved these shoes, after 6 months of wear, I had to post a review. They didn't wear very well at all. The front part of the sole is glued on (as opposed to sewn) and they have come apart. My other son got a pair of Nike kicks and they've held up much better to the same type of wear. Aside from being dirty, they aren't worn out compared to these Etnies. Kind of disappointed...expected better.

My child and I both love this shoe! They have great cushion around the ankle and the heel. They are soft inside and out. We love these shoes!

Purchased these for my 6yo because he is hard on shoes. I figured the black would last a while, plus they are a slight bit wider to fit his feet. I was disappointed because a few months after wearing them, the leather around the toe separated from the rubber surround of the sole. I just chalked it up to boys being boys. I have since bought a different style of Etnies, and they are holding up fine. Once again, you can't beat Zappos. Always a pleasure dealing with them.
