Amazing for short excursions

Etnies Division is not generously padded nor cushioned. Moreover, its outsole rubbers do not hold up well and come off easily. If you want the total opposite of these traits, get the Etnies Kingpin or Same brand only.

Etnies Division’s fit couldn’t be more accurate

“The size was spot on,” a statement to which almost everybody agrees. Another rehashed, “the shoe isn’t too skinny and isn’t too wide, it’s perfect.”

Breaks in very easily 

Etnies Division is hailed as “super comfortable everyday shoes.” However, many also share the same sentiment, with reviewers saying: “I wish it was a bit more padded” and “it doesn’t have any arch support or heel cradle.” Even though many noticed that its heel counter and tongue are only lightly padded and it does not have enough cushion, it didn’t stop sneaker fans from reveling in casual trips while in this sneaker.

The upside of the thin footbed is that it permits thrashers to have a great connection and feel of their boards. Furthermore, one thing that contributed to the comfort brought by this sneaker is its very light body that doesn’t burden the legs while moving.

Skate (or ride) right away!

Sneaker fans who are also skaters, longboarders, and BMX riders agreed on one thing, that Etnies Division “breaks in fast.” A skater shared that it is “ready to shred outta the box.” Another skater who uses a longboard attested: “feels amazing when I’m longboarding around town.”

Another thing the sneaker fans loved about this sneaker is its flexible midsole. A vlogger demonstrated that its sole’s “weave style tread pattern” gives the sneaker a “very soft flex,” which also aided in the kick’s quick break-in period. The bad thing, though, is that the outsole isn’t sturdy. Many reported the bottom rubber quickly separated from the gum rim. A non-skater stated, “they didn’t last me not even 3 months.” Another revealed that his pair had already come apart after only wearing for three times.
