Customer Reviews etnies Barge LS

Great looking show - runs small.

14 size shoe felt like a 13. Had to return but wish I had smaller feet. Great looking shoe.

Look cool but not as comfortable as previous models.

Good shoes. The left shoe fit well but the right shoe didn't fit. It felt larger so I returned them. Zappos does a great job with returns and exchanges. I am thankful for all their help.

No arch support, I use Superfeer insoles in most of my shoes--try it, you'll love it. Cotton socks pill up around the inside of the collar and tongue. Seem fairly durable so far. Not a bad price for kicking around the garage.

Decent support, considering it's a skate shoe.

Love the design and Etnies live to its brand being durable and very fashionable

Very rarely do I write reviews for products, but I felt that this shoe was deserving of one. I bought these shoes with a simple intent: to have a good-looking black shoe that would last. While they aren't the most comfortable pair of shoes I've worn, I find that these shoes have a high enough comfort to style ratio that I am very satisfied with them. I've also had good experiences with Etnies in the past; their dark brown Jameson Vulc shoes are just as good. My only qualms with the item is that it was slightly too large and some of the "print-on" material (i.e. the logo on the tongue of the shoe) wear off more quickly than some of the other shoes that I own. It is still decent, but these shoes are better suited for style than activities. TL:DR Great shoes overall, very stylish, the unimportant stuff experiences more wear and tear than other shoes.

The fit was fine, and the materials looked nice. However, two drawbacks for me. First, the upper material was just stiff enough to crease and push into my foot when flexed, and the styling ended up having serious golfer vibes.

These shoes fit ok, except the insoles are garbage. They look decent enough as well. The major issue is that after a month of wearing them a few times a week the fabric at the heal wore through to the outer surface material. I will not be buying another pair of Etnies anytime soon.

Look cool, but the back has thin plastic inside that sometimes folds over and is uncomfortable on the heal.

So narrow! I don’t have wide feet but still had to return them because the felt way too tight.

Husband liked the shoe but it ran small. Had to return.

An ok shoe. Good looking. They are a bit too snug for an average width. Socks bunch up when putting shoe on. Would have liked a D width. There is no arch support but not an issue for me. The laces are too short and I had to replace with longer ones (from 42" to 48") to be able to tie them up.

The shoes seem to fit low on the foot, almost like a boat shoe. While some aspects of the construction are nice (reinforce toe canopy, cushioned cuff and tongue) others are disappointing (terrible cushion, no arch support, finishing touches are sloppy). I like this style of shoe, but I'll look for one executed with a little more care.

I have to admit that I purchased these looking for something that could be worn with nice looking slacks but provide a lot of comfort for all day wearing. They look nice. However, they advertise "STI Foam Lite 1 footbed provides superior comfort." Uhhmmm...compared to concrete, maybe. The footbed wasn't glued down, so I pulled it out and it was literally laughable it was so thin and puny.

A cheap shoe has the inner support glued in like these. changed them out with powerstep inserts. shoes are very stiff an as other reviews say. Great looking sneaker but cheap. Id look for another shoe

Purchased based on a positive history with the brand. Very pleased with the style. Comfort was OK at the start, but the right heel broke down and created a jagged protrusion that made the shoe unwearable in fairly short order. Only ended up getting a few months wear out of them.

They fell apart in less than six months. I liked the fit, and the look so I decided to keep them. I short time after wearing them they started to smell. I've had this happen with other shoes, but it usually didn't happen until the shoes were older. Then I started noticing dampness when the ground was wet. Shortly after that I noticed the white band was becoming detached from the shoe. Now the sole is coming off. Six months after buy these shoes, I need to replace them. I usually expect my shoes to last a year.

The first pair of these I got (June 2013) lasted well over a year, but the second pair (September 2014) is already falling apart in several places -- in less than 6 months. I will not be buying a third pair.

I really liked these shoes when I first got them. But not even a week after I received them, the rubber sole started to come apart from the fabric of the shoe on both shoes on both sides where it bends when you walk. They also started to squeak. These are not very well made. I usually wear Vans because they last me so long but I thought I'd give these a try. I won't be trying any more Etnies shoes from now on. Not even two months later and I had to buy new shoes to replace these. What a waste.

after the first use there is a plastic piece in the back heel that slid down and now it is deformed, cutting into the back of my heel it's so uncomfortable that i don't think they are wearable anymore. i don't recommened these shoes because of that. etnies have usually been good to me so i don't know whats up with this style.

Order smaller than you normally wear. Shoe was a full size too big.

These bleed, after only 3-4 weeks of wear, they color bleeds onto the sole. I bought the red ones and am overall satisfied but they look like crap now. Never even been in the rain in them yet and even if I was, I do not expect bleeding like this.
