Do Etnies Shoes Fit Wide or Narrow?

In my experience, Etnies shoes have a regular width that doesn’t fit too wide or too narrow. They have a width that is similar to other types of popular skate shoes.

For example, here are my Etnies shoes (on the left) compared to the sizing of Vans Old Skool:

etnies-shoe-sizing-vs-vans

As you can see above, the width in the forefoot area is very similar between these two shoes.

Etnies Toe Box Sizing

The toe-box depth of Etnies Marana is a little deeper than other types of skate shoes, and therefore provides a bit more room for the toes. For example, here is my Etnies toe box (on the left) compared to Nike SB Chron 2:

And here is my Etnies toe box compared to Vans Old Skool:

The snug toe box is used in certain types of skate shoes to help provide a more secure fit. However, the toe-box depth of Etnies Marana Michelin is more regular (and more comparable to normal athletic shoes). For example, when we compare it to Nike Air Max, we see a more similar toe box depth:

Does Etnies have wide shoes?

No, Etnies does not make wide shoes. They only offer medium width shoe sizing (source). If you have wide feet, it may be best to size up a half size.

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.
