Mens Kingpin

At the start of every year, I like to purchase a fresh new pair of skate shoes. Matte black, all over. They are my daily kicks, and even though I don't skate, they have been my go-to shoe for 15-20 years now. I have super wide feet and kind of a stocky build, so it's always been a no-go on the Converse.... it's been skate shoes for me. More specifically, DC's.... yes, I admit it. I have always been a DC guy, but when I went to buy my usual shoe a couple months ago, they were out of stock/unavailable! Waiting was not an option, seeing as how my old pair of shoes were getting my socks soaked any time it rained... So I bought my first pair of Etnies, and Holy Moly! What an excellent shoe! Perfect fit and super comfortable right off the bat. The matte black material is super strong/solid feeling, cleans easily, and doesn't scuff! They look sharp with my usual blue jeans. The only thing I can't comment on would be their durability, seeing as I haven't had them for very long... but if they hold up and retain their quality over the next 9 months or so, then there is a very distinct possibility I will be an Etnies man going forward!

Another great show by Etnies!! Classic black on black board shoes, but can be worn for whatever and you'll be comfortable in these shoes. They have thick soles, and cushion all the way around. They are a great versatile skate board shoe!! I ordered these close to a year ago and they are still like new. They are holding up great, they are not cheaply made. A great value for the money.

Most comfortable skate shoes I've ever owned.

I got a 5.5 M as a 7.5 W and as a wide foot gal, and it fits pretty snug WITH socks on. It's pretty chill and there's no damages to the shoes, as far as I saw. I give 4 stars because the box is pushed in a bit on the bottom inside, but I'm just glad the shoes have nothing wrong with them.

As a casual skateboarder (okay, fine, I'm not very good, but I can ollie...sometimes), I'm always on the lookout for a comfortable and stylish skate shoe. And let me tell you, the Etnies Kingpin did not disappoint. Pros: First of all, these shoes are stylish as heck. The classic Etnies logo and sleek design make me feel like a legit skater (even if I'm just cruising around the neighborhood). And the comfort level is off the charts - I could wear these babies all day long and my feet wouldn't even know they're in a skate shoe. The padded tongue and collar provide excellent support, and the STI Foam Lite Level 1 footbed is like a little cloud for your feet. But wait, there's more! The Etnies Kingpin is also a great value. Compared to some of the other skate shoes on the market, these are a steal. And with a durable rubber outsole and triple-stitched toe cap, they'll hold up to even the gnarliest of skate sessions (or just regular old walking around, if that's more your speed). Cons: The only downside to the Etnies Kingpin is that they make me feel like a bit of a poser. I mean, I'm not exactly shredding the half-pipe or grinding rails here - I'm just a regular guy who happens to like the look and feel of skate shoes. But hey, if feeling like a poser is the price I have to pay for comfort and style, I'll take it. The Etnies Men's Kingpin Skateboarding Shoe is made of a combination of leather and synthetic materials, with a rubber sole. It comes in a variety of colors to suit your personal style, and is available in sizes 5-14. Whether you're a seasoned skater or just someone who appreciates a comfortable and stylish shoe, the Etnies Kingpin is a great choice. It's affordable, durable, and will make you feel like a skateboarding king (or just a regular guy, if that's more your thing). Just be prepared to feel a little bit like a poser - but hey, isn't that just part of the fun?

Reviews for shoes are so subjective, but as I like a comfortably simple and classic styled skater shoe sans over-stated logos all over the product, this checked all my boxes. Is this shoe for everyone? No, but then neither are clothes or food as all of it is subjective. However, in my opinion, is it comfortable? Yes. Is it black? Yes. Is it a simple design? Yes. Does it have good traction? Yes. Does it last? For all the abuse I put them through, yes. Is it understated when it comes to logos? I think so. Is it a shoe I'd buy again? Yes, cause it is all the things I mentioned. So if you enjoy a comfortable, simple designed shoe minus logos smeared all over the place, you might like this particular shoe. If you like loud, obnoxious designs with product logos all over the place (and there's nothing wrong with that), probably not the shoe you're looking for.

awesome shoe took me straight back to my teens. product arrived new. right size, fit as expected.

They suck until you wear them and they form to your foot, after that they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn!
