Love these shoes!
I bought my first pair of Etnies in '93 and have been buying them ever since. When I used to skate every day, they would last me a whole year and now they last me two! They have always been comfortable and always at the same price. With quality, comfort, and price unchanged for 15 years - you can't go wrong! I have ordered two pairs of shoes from Zappos and both were delivered the next day.

Etnies Fader - White/Black/White
This shoe is sooo cool! Everything about it is really cool and perfectly designed. I would but this shoe again! I'm sure that anybody who either owns or is going to own likes it a lot. I really like the extra laces and overnight shipping - especially free! The laces are a little long, though, so I put them underneath the sole of the shoe - that way it's comfortable, much more so than just putting them in the shoe. The next pair that I get are going to be from Zappos.com. Thanks for the awesome shoe, Zappos!

I bought these shoes to originally skate in, but now I use them for work. Can't beat the cushioning and support. Plus they got here in two days!!!!

My son loves them, he said they are comfortable and they don’t make his foot look so big since he wears a size 13 in men’s. I think they are a nice looking pair of skate shoes. Thanks Zappos for the free shipping both ways and the good prices that are affordable.

My son absolutely loves these shoes and he is very picky. He also has a wider foot and has not complained of any discomfort.

My husband says these shoes are really comfortable. The only thing he doesn't like it there is no place to lace the laces through the tongue to hold it in place. He said it's fine though as it doesn't slip.

I like these shoes, they're comfortable to walk in. My only complaint is that after kneeling a couple of times, the material on the side of both shoes started to bend inward (as is normal) but put pressure on both of my feet until it was actually painful. I have to take the shoes off and push the inside back out to fix it. I don't know if other people have this same problem or maybe it is because I wear a large size (13).

Dig these shoes, I've bought them about 3 times or so. Great for work, stable and fairly durable though the bottoms generally blow out after about 4 months. Look good too.

In general I am pleased with these shoes. The style is great, and the included grey laces add a little variety to them. The sole is super soft so you can really feel the variation in the ground below your feet. My only complaint is that they are not wide enough. I had to stretch these shoes for 2 days before they didn\'t feel like they were crushing me feet. If only they came in a wider size.

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.

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.

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.

I purchased these shoes for my boyfriend, who wears a size 14 normally. We tried the 14s for him, but they were way too small, so we exchanged them for a 15. Unfortunately, those were still way too small. It's too bad because 15 is as big as these shoes get and they just weren't big enough. My BF really liked the style too. Oh well. We'll just keep ordering different shoes until we get the right pair. I buy shoes only from Zappos! now. They are so friendly, kind, and convenient. And we just love the free Next Day Air shipping!! And when we wanted to exchange the 14s for 15s, Zappos' super friendly customer service rep sent out the 15s before I even had the 14s boxed up. And they sent them Next Day Air for free again! I love Zappos and I tell everyone about them.

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.

Beware! The blue and black 'fader' is no longer the nice soft suede upper they had a couple years ago. They have changed to some action leather crap paired with the cheapest insoles ever. I sit in a cubicle all day and these are too uncomfortable to wear! Bring back the original 'fader' please!

Love Etnies, these were the worst. Leather is off color and started cracking after 2 weeks of wear. Not well designed. Not comfortable. I bought them because they were Etnies on sale, and I'm sorry I did. Have to say I've never had such a disappointment with DC's. Love Zappos though!

I had a pair of etnies several years ago and they were very comfortable. I knew they were comfortable because I got to try them on first. So I thought I'd try another pair, but these ended up being the most uncomfortable sneakers I've ever owned. I thought maybe they needed to be broken in, so I wore them every day for about two weeks until I couldn't take it anymore. I'll never buy sneakers without trying them on first again. Goodbye money, hello old sneakers.

Etnies have always been one of my favorites but, to say the least, I am not a fan of these. The material these shoes are made of feels and looks like plastic. The Digit 2's are far superior in my opinion.

These shoes were extremely short, more like a 13 rather than a 14. I would like to order a 15 but that size is out of stock. Hard enough to find shoes that fit in my size. Other Etnie's in 14 fit fine. This style does not.

Very comfortable shoes for short distance walking. Wouldn’t recommend wearing them for an all day adventure! My son inherited them unexpectedly and loves them for skating! Will be buying these again for myself!

If you got fat feet, and you hate to tie your shoes…
these are the most comfortable pair of shoes.
You can walk all day in a pair of shoes like this.
My feet don’t hurt,
AND
The shoes don’t fall off or slip and firmly hug the shape of your foot.
