Customer Reviews etnies Joslin

Shoes are beautiful, but they are about a half size smaller than marked, and the width is WAAAAY off. If you order these shoes, get a half size larger and order a larger width if medium usually works for you.

Best skateboarding shoes ever and vegan...a must try

I normally don't order shoes or clothing online but I fell in love with the style and color of these shoes and was not disappointed when I finally tried them on. 10/10 would buy again

Many people say they run small but I feel the length is true to size. A narrower shoe then most in this category, but they'll stretch out a bit on the sides. Insole is beefy, and can be replaced with something basic if the shoe is too narrow, which will create a little more room for a wider foot. Plenty of outsole for excellent comfort, with or without the insole. This is a pretty padded skate shoe. Like a slimmed down Marana. Very sturdy, should last a while. Grip seems very good. I can't think of a better shoe if you go big, or just need something that won't hurt your dogs during long treks.

I'm a size 13.5 in everything, and these might be the only cupsole I can skate because they seem to run a tad small. I got them in a 14, and they feel absolutely perfect. (maby a hair too long, still can't tell, but not nearly as long as all the other 14s I've tried on) Haven't skated them yet, I'll save that review for the 2nd pair I ordered. - Excited to skate a cupsole again, being I've been using the lakai dalys which are way too thin. Some were sayin these were too thick, but they're not as thick as the kicks we skated in '00. Not even as thick as the mantecas. Maby slightly less beef then the maranas. These should work perfect. Wish they made a midtop. Toe isn't too pointy for my wider-ish foot. Not overly round either. Width feels great. Insoles are removable, but the ones included look good.

At first these things absolutely choked my foot. Had to take em off frequently at the skate park or at work because they were so narrow. But after they broke in a bit they loosened up. The michelin sole is always great and the toe/flick feels solid on the board. If there is ever a Joslin 3 model please make em a bit wider !

This is a follow up review to my original review of the Joslin shoe. Originally I bought a size 10 which usually works for me, but a 10 was too short and definitely too narrow. I returned them and got size 10.5 (half size bigger). With these shoes, the width gets wider with each half size you go up. The 10.5 fit pretty well. Definitely long enough, but still slightly narrower than I’d like. They’d be more comfy if they were wider. The shoes look amazing though. 3.5 to 4 out of 5 for these shoes.

Shoes truly are attractive. Good enough for business casual. But, as others have pointed out, these shoes are wickedly narrow and a half-to-full size too small. And I mean WICKEDLY narrow. If you're used to Etnies, do not expect the same comfort as the rest of their line. I ordered a full size up from 12s to 13s and made the mistake of keeping them. These shoes are just a no-go. Sorry. Not sorry.
