Etnies Sizing Conclusion
In my experience, Etnies shoes fits true to size. Both the sizing and width of Etnies shoes is true-to-size and very similar to other types of popular skate shoes. I ordered my normal sizing for Etnies and they fit as expected. My recommendation is to order your normal sizing for Etnies.
However, because Etnies does not make wide shoes, if you have wide feet, it is probably best to size up a half size to create extra space inside the shoe.
