Why skaters like it

Gets linked when newer skaters ask for durable shoes that survive ollie hole and sole wear. Commenters say the Michelin sole holds up.

“Can confirm Etnies Michelin Marana shoes are pretty solid. I've had mine for a bit with some tears towards the top (ankle area) and they are still holding up very strong. …”

I cant answer to all your questions, I got them only for a month (3-5x session per week) and I cant do a kickflip. However, they were recommended to me by friend who is pretty decent rider and skates for 10y+. I wanted them because of the michelin sole because its durable. I usually destroy my sole first. I think you need to test them yourself, i believe that not every shoe fits everyone. And 187lbs is not excatly a fatty person :) [VIDEO] - 100 kiíckflips by Chris Joslin (brief review) [VIDEO] - another review, slightly different model without michelin sole
