To test if the outsole from Michelin really lasts up to three times longer, as advertised, I took a pair of the <a href=\"\/en\/etnies-shop?keyword=michelin\" title=\"The etnies Marana x Michelin at skatedeluxe\">etnies Marana x Michelin<\/a> and tested them for 20 hours.\r\n\t<\/strong>\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<h2 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">First impressions<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\tIf you&#8217;ve ever held an etnies Marana in your hand before, you know what you\u2019re in for. For me, it was my very first Marana and directly after unboxing, I was a bit sceptical. This cupsole skate shoe looks quite bulky, which is a result of its generous padding. The tongue and the collar around the heel, in particular, are heavily padded, which makes the etnies Marana x Michelin shoe a comfort zone for your feet. \r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"flex-video\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/f5cj0gTV6H4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/f5cj0gTV6H4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<p>\r\n\tThe insole made a good impression as well. The <a href=\"\/blog\/en\/skate-shoe-technologies\/#etnies-pro-foam\" title=\"To the skate shoe wiki about Pro Foam 1\">Pro Foam 1<\/a> footbed is preformed and soft, which gave me some hope that it would provide good impact support. Despite the fat look of the shoe, the Michelin Marana is pretty light, which is definitely a plus.\r\n\t<br>\r\n\tAnother thing that attracted my attention while unboxing was the smell of the outsole. Indeed, it reminded me of the smell of car tires. But don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s not too pungent and it fades after a few days. However, the outsole seemed to be quite stiff.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<h2 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">Sizing &#038; Comfort<\/h2>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 medium-push-6 columns\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\tAs mentioned before, for a skate shoe, the etnies Marana x Michelin is super comfy. Particularly, the front of the shoe is quite spacious. Yep, that\u2019s pretty subjective but I would say for narrower feet, the shoe might be a bit wide. However, this should be no issue if you lace them tight. Thanks to the padding and heel stabilizer, the Marana has a snug fit. Due to the mesh lining, you don\u2019t have to worry about blisters. For my taste, the tongue\u2019s padding was too thick. Therefore, I laced the shoes super tight, which flattened the tongue a bit after a while.\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 medium-pull-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hide-for-small-only\"><br><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"metaslider-id-139842\" style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-98-0 ml-slider-pro-2-6-6 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-139842 ml-slider ms-theme-_theme_1470922456 nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"etnies Michelin Marana unboxing\" data-width=\"999\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_139842\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_139842\" class=\"flexslider\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-139843 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-139843\" data-date=\"2017-09-11 14:04:22\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"666\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing.jpg\" class=\"slider-139842 slide-139843\" alt=\"etnies Marana x Michelin - Unboxing\" rel=\"\" title=\"etnies Marana x Michelin\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing.jpg 999w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-600x400.jpg 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-139845 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-139845\" data-date=\"2017-09-11 14:04:22\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"666\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-side.jpg\" class=\"slider-139842 slide-139845\" alt=\"etnies Marana x Michelin - Unboxing\" rel=\"\" title=\"etnies Marana x Michelin\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-side.jpg 999w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-side-600x400.jpg 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-side-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-side-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-139844 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-139844\" data-date=\"2017-09-11 14:04:22\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"667\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-top.jpg\" class=\"slider-139842 slide-139844\" alt=\"etnies Marana x Michelin - Unboxing\" rel=\"\" title=\"etnies Marana x Michelin\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-top.jpg 999w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-top-600x400.jpg 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-top-768x513.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-top-998x666.jpg 998w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-top-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-139846 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-139846\" data-date=\"2017-09-11 14:04:22\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"666\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-outsole.jpg\" class=\"slider-139842 slide-139846\" alt=\"etnies Marana x Michelin - Unboxing\" rel=\"\" title=\"etnies Marana x Michelin\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-outsole.jpg 999w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-outsole-600x400.jpg 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-outsole-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-outsole-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<p align=\"center\"><span class=\"h4\">Rating: 8\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<h2>Performance<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">Break-In Period<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t<p>\r\n\tOf course, I skated the Michelin Maranas right out of the box. Contrary to my initial expectations during the unboxing, the sole was way more flexible and it took me about half an hour to an hour until I got fully used to the shoe. There wasn\u2019t a single trick that felt weird in the etnies Marana x Michelin during the test.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<p align=\"center\"><span class=\"h4\">Rating: 9\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">Boardfeel &#038; Grip<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\t<p>\r\n\tI had nothing to complain about the shoe&#8217;s boardfeel. As said before, the Marana is a classic <a href=\"\/blog\/en\/everything-about-skate-shoes\/#shoe-soles-cup-sole-vulc-sole\" title=\"To the shoe wiki about sole constructions of skate shoes\" target=\"blank\">cupsole construction<\/a>. This made me think that it could not keep up with the boardfeel of a vulcanized skate shoe. Even though I would describe myself as a vulc-sole fan, I had no problems at all skating the Marana. Speaking of grip, Michelin did their job very well! The Marana\u2019s car tire inspired tread gives the shoe massive grip and promises a lot of fun on your board.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<p align=\"center\"><span class=\"h4\">Rating: 8\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">Impact Absorption \/ support<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\tAs I took out the insole of the etnies Marana x Michelin and inspected the shoe\u2019s inside, I didn\u2019t get the feeling that much had been done in terms of impact support. Nevertheless, etnies have hidden their <a href=\"\/blog\/en\/skate-shoe-technologies\/#etnies-sti\" title=\"To the skate shoe wiki STI Evolution Foam\">STI Evolution Foam<\/a> somewhere in the midsole and somehow, you can feel it. Together with the insole, the Michelin Marana provides you with excellent impact absorption. This shouldn\u2019t be a surprise since the shoe was designed to support Chris Joslin\u2019s everyday banger skateboarding.\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-unboxing-insole.jpg\" title=\"etnies Marana x Michelin Test - insole\" alt=\"etnies Marana x Michelin Test - insole\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<p align=\"center\"><span class=\"h4\">Rating: 9\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t<h2>Durability<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">Impression after five hours of skating<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\t<p>\r\n\tSeriously, the pictures tell it all. Despite brand new Mob Grip, the shoe showed hardly any signs of wear after five hours. In fact, a shoelace ripped pretty quickly but thanks to the hidden lacing system, you can spare yourself this kind of trouble. There seemed to be only one shortcoming: as far as breathability goes, there is still a bit of room for improvement.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"medium-10 medium-centered columns\">\r\n\t\t<div id=\"metaslider-id-139805\" style=\"width: 100%;

But in order to recognize them, I honestly had to look for them. The wear on the tread pattern was minimal. The cupsole&#8217;s outside showed some abrasion from Kickflips and there were some, well, let\u2019s call them scratches, on the toe cap. The stitching in the Ollie area that keeps the front and back panel together is hidden, which makes this zone super strong. As you can see in the pictures, the collar in the ankle region ripped open after ten hours. Yet, it doesn\u2019t influence the performance of the Michelin Marana. If you wear loose pants while skating, this shouldn\u2019t be any issue for you anyway.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"medium-10 medium-centered columns\">\r\n\t\t<div id=\"metaslider-id-139811\" style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-98-0 ml-slider-pro-2-6-6 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-139811 ml-slider ms-theme-_theme_1470922456 nav-hidden nav-hidden nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"etnies Michelin Marana 10h\" data-width=\"999\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_139811\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_139811\" class=\"flexslider\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-139812 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-139812\" data-date=\"2017-09-11 13:32:07\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"656\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours.jpg\" class=\"slider-139811 slide-139812\" alt=\"etnies Marana x Michelin - Wear Test\" rel=\"\" title=\"etnies Marana x Michelin\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours.jpg 999w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-600x394.jpg 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-768x504.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-139813 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-139813\" data-date=\"2017-09-11 13:32:08\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"666\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-top.jpg\" class=\"slider-139811 slide-139813\" alt=\"etnies Marana x Michelin - Wear Test\" rel=\"\" title=\"etnies Marana x Michelin\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-top.jpg 999w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-top-600x400.jpg 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-top-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-top-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-139814 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-139814\" data-date=\"2017-09-11 13:32:08\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"666\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-ankle-area.jpg\" class=\"slider-139811 slide-139814\" alt=\"etnies Marana x Michelin - Wear Test\" rel=\"\" title=\"etnies Marana x Michelin\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-ankle-area.jpg 999w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-ankle-area-600x400.jpg 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-ankle-area-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-ankle-area-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-139815 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-139815\" data-date=\"2017-09-11 13:32:08\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"666\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-outsole.jpg\" class=\"slider-139811 slide-139815\" alt=\"etnies Marana x Michelin - Wear Test\" rel=\"\" title=\"etnies Marana x Michelin\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-outsole.jpg 999w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-outsole-600x400.jpg 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-outsole-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/etnies-marana-michelin-ten-hours-outsole-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">Impression after 20 hours of skating<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\t<p>\r\n\tAfter a total of 20 hours of testing, I was still amazed. The outsole\u2019s tread pattern showed visible signs of abrasion. However, this didn&#8217;t mean that the shoe lost its grip. Moreover, I have to admit that the Michelin Marana had to endure two fresh sheets of griptape during the test. All in all, the cupsole remained strong while flexible. The suede in the Ollie area showed some signs of wear while other high-wear areas remained intact. The heel didn\u2019t have any blow outs or anything either.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"medium-10 medium-centered columns\">\r\n\t\t<div id=\"metaslider-id-139816\" style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-98-0 ml-slider-pro-2-6-6 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-139816 ml-slider ms-theme-_theme_1470922456 nav-hidden nav-hidden nav-hidden nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"etnies Michelin Marana 20h\" data-width=\"999\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_139816\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_139816\" class=\"flexslider\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: none;

Despite the bulky construction, you\u2019ll get a relatively light, agile skate shoe that is hard to destroy. The sole\u2019s Michelin composition holds up to their promises and is extremely durable. Though the shoe has been designed for high impact skateboarding, you can easily pull off some curb or flat ground sessions wearing them. When etnies doubles down on some more durable shoe laces, I dare to say that the etnies Marana x Michelin has the potential to be one of the best skate shoes ever.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"row\">\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<p align=\"center\"><span class=\"h1\">+<\/span><\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<ul style=\"margin-left: 8em;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<li>Durability x3<\/r>\r\n \t\t\t\t<li>Grip<\/li>\r\n \t\t\t\t<li>Impact support<\/li>\r\n \t\t\t\t<li>Overall great performance<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<p align=\"center\"><span class=\"h1\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<ul style=\"margin-left: 8em;\">\r\n \t\t\t\t<li>Shoe laces ripped quickly<\/li>\r\n \t\t\t\t<li>Limited breathability<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<a class=\"button-auto\" href=\"\/en\/etnies-shop?keyword=michelin\" title=\"The etnies Marana x Michelin at skatedeluxe\" style=\"margin-bottom:2em;\">Test the etnies Marana x Michelin for yourself now!<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"medium-6 columns\">\r\n\t\t\t<a class=\"button-auto\" href=\"\/blog\/en\/category\/product-reviews\/\" title=\"All product tests on the skatedeluxe blog\" style=\"margin-bottom:2em;\">Check out more Skate &#038; Wear Tests on the skatedeluxe blog<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"ShariffSC\" style=\"shariff-shop\"><div class=\"shariff\" data-url=\"https:\/\/skatedeluxe.com\/blog\/en\/wear-test-etnies-marana-x-michelin\/\" data-title=\"Wear Test: etnies Marana x Michelin\" data-services='[\"facebooklike\", \"facebook\"]' data-backend-url='\/shariff\/'><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It shouldn\u2019t be any news to you that etnies has equipped their poster child &#8211; the Marana &#8211; with a little update.
