Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Marana is a high-performance skate shoe engineered for adult skaters who prioritize durability, impact protection, and board feel. Its standout feature is the fused-on injected rubber toe cap and robust cup sole construction, offering exceptional longevity during demanding skate sessions; however, users should note that the suede construction requires specific care to maintain its appearance and material integrity over time.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the Pro Foam 1 insole and padded collar make them very comfortable for casual, everyday use.
Can I use these shoes for rainy weather?
While the suede is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to preserve the quality of the suede upper.
How do I maintain the black colour?
Use a suede renovator spray designed for black leather/suede to touch up the colour and provide extra protection against water.
What is the benefit of the cup sole construction?
Cup soles offer greater impact protection and structural support compared to vulcanized soles, which is ideal for high-impact skating.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Pro Foam 1 insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying quickly
Utilize the hidden lace loops provided on the eyelets to keep laces protected from board contact.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the bottom of the outsole with a damp brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can impede tread performance.
Stiff fit out of the box
The Marana requires a short break-in period; wear the shoes for casual walking for 2-3 days to allow the materials to soften to your foot shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent durability due to reinforced toe cap
- High level of impact protection for heavy skating
- Superior grip from the 400 NBS rubber outsole
- Comfortable fit for all-day wear
Cons
- Suede upper can show wear quickly if not maintained
- Stiffer feel initially compared to vulcanized shoes
- Black colourway may show dust more prominently
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the shoe is laced snugly to utilize the padded collar and tongue for support. To clean the suede material, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede texture and the adhesive of the cup sole. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from shrinking or becoming brittle.
