I always buy size 12 because they are just a little loose on me. These are a little tight. I also have flat feet so I have no use for the arch support. It will eventually be crushed by my feet but right now it is a nuisance. usually I'm safe buying skate shoes because they have very little arch support, these have more than expected so those of you with arches should like these, I just suggest buying a half size biggerThese shoes fit perfectly! I've got flat feet and love the feel of these shoes.The protective area around the toe seems to work REALLY well as I'm learning to ollie. Three days with regular vans canvas and I wore a hole through my shoes and sock! I've been rockin these Emericas for a half a dozen skate sessions now and love how they've held up so well!I've been an etnies fan for forever. Especially the XT marana's. They've been harder and harder to find in my size. (I am not at all a fan of vuncanized rubber soles.)Anyway, these kicks are super nice. They stick well to pedals (BMX y'all) and have a enough "feel" to the soles to not feel stiff or overly flexy.Amazing. way better than I expected. My skateboarding has actually tangibly improved thanks to these shoes. Very durable and perfectly made for skateboarding. I wear them around the house all the time just because they’re that comfy.I’ve bought these 3 times now because the flick part lasts longer than most shoes.Broken in first time I set my feet in them. They tear easy when you are skating hard. The price makes it worth it, I bought 3 pairs.I'm gonna live these shoes once they are broken in a bit.Love this shoe , has lasted a long time skating in them. Very durable and comfortable.No son tenis para caminatas largas, antiderrapantes, son de uso moderado.sehr guter Sneaker,gute Verarbeitung und weich gefüttertMuy buenos, emerica siempre será de los mejores te la para hacer skate, comodidad, elegancia y durabilidad...Los zapatos perfectos para patinar, una durabilidad increíble y una comodidad y protección sobresaliente.Los mejores skate shoes que he tenido.Todo ok
