Etnies skate shoe history: Marana then Joslin and now Marana Santa Cruz. I will be very loyal to either Marana or Joslin, they never fail me. I love how Etnies fit, feel, cushion and sloooowly wear down.
This pair of Maranas surprised me in that they felt tighter than my other two pairs. However, a couple of days with shoe stretchers, some time out on the board and they are started to feel like home.
