I have had several pairs of Etnies Marans and never encountered any of the issues you mention here. They are super durable and comfortable shoes, no paint spreading on whatsoever, tongue (with me at least) never moved sideways and I have literally 0 complaints. Good skating btw.
Yes, I agree that that was really the only problem. I’ve been skating them again now that it has cooled down and I sweat less and haven’t had any more problems. I’m considering making a follow-up video
I've had 3 pairs of the maranas, on my 4th pair now, and none of them have had that dye problem, mine where grey,tan,navy and red ,black, you should show this to etnies, they should send you a new pair for free.
the dye problem comes only with the blue and red versions if they have not been dyed properly, may be only on a small percentage! you could use these crep protect spays to seal em. subbed you anyway tough ^^, i love the Marana Michelin Joslin Signature Model in black, only have the tongue problem which is very annoying but I made a mistake and ordered them in 9,5" instead of my 8,5" lol. just ordered the Marana Joslin 2 with the tongue holder and velcro fastener very hyped on them.
I've had 5 or 6 pairs of Maranas and I've never had this issue. Never in an all red colour, but I've half red/half black and also had most of the other ones. Honestly they are one of the best shoes I've had and that's why I keep buying them. One thing that I noticed is that the all textile version made my feet more sweaty than the all suede ones, which I can't explain why it is, since the textile looks like it supposedly has more airflow through the shoes. In any ways they are a great shoe and I will 100% recommend them.
I've had a pair of Marana previously, such a comfortable shoe!! I experience the same issue with the tongue, but it's never been uncomfortable. The dye issue is so random, I wonder if it is just a batch issue? You should hit them up, they'd probably send you out a new pair. Leaving everything looking like a crime scene is not ideal lol. Sweet skating 👊😍
Wow I can't believe this finally happened to someone else I had the black/gum pair and after sweating the front of my socks and TOES were black It was horrible and took a week to get the dye off of my Toes. Definitely a negative.
I personally like that the maranas slip off, cuz it saves your ankle from rolling. With the tongue thing, it's the same problem with all my etnies, just etnies overall have weird tongues. And the dye thing is just a problem with specific colors and also water deterioration, usually with most other colors, the dye never came off.
That dye issue is insane!! Looks like they soaked those things in it & never rinsed out the excess! I'd say its a defect & you should contact etnies direct mate
That is insane that the dye came out of your shoes so much like that. The pair that I skated was blue and I never had any dye coming out. I think you had a dud. There was only one issue at all with these shoes that I had and that was the bottoms broke through really fast but other than that these shoes were amazinn
I've skated 8+ Michelin Maranas and have skated this exact colorway during the middle of summer with sweaty feet. I've never had this issue with Maranas, let alone etnies, in general. I think you got a defective pair that is having this dye problem. I would suggest trying them again, but maybe in a more normal/common color where this will not happen. I think you're the only person I've seen sho has experienced this issue. Lol. I'm a Marana and Joslin shoe fanatic haha
Oh man, I ordered these shoes right before watching this video. Same color and everything, lol. I had read and watched other reviews and nobody mentioned anything about dye leaking or staining. I sure hope mine don't have this problem.
@@SkateSage It might be that one color way actually. Unless the issue is not the dye, but some kind of binder in the paint that breaks apart by moisture or sweat.
@@PHeMoX it has to be this specific pair, as I've been skating numerous Maranas in various colorways for the past few years and have never had this happen. And my feet get sweaty as fuck, too. No heel slip action for me. These shoes feel super secure start to finish.
You skate a lot with this shoes, look at the sole.... like brand new....how many skate shoes sole look brand new when the rest of the shoe looks very used?? This is the perfect durable skate shoe.... you talk 10 times in the raw of the tongue bla bla bla.... Are you endorsed by Nike SB???? SSSSSSSSSSSSS allll

@@SkateSage Might also depend on the actual color of the particular model, but overall nice and comprehensive review :)
I personally have those issues. Tongue moving sideways I taught it was because of my foot being weird 😆
Same here. No issues at all with the shoes. I also have the black ones, maybe other colours give issues.
I have a pair of the red and blue ones been skated for a month, gotten wet multiple times and I’ve had no dye seeping from the shoes lol
May just be the red ones or could even just be that particular pair
Wow that dye staining looks like a crime scene. You have Hawaiian Punch dripping out of your shoes.
I've had 3 pairs of the maranas, on my 4th pair now, and none of them have had that dye problem, mine where grey,tan,navy and red ,black, you should show this to etnies, they should send you a new pair for free.
I’ve been skating in them again now that it has cooled down and they don’t leak dye as long as I take breaks. I may make a follow-up video
@@SkateSage send an email to etnies anyway that is a production issue nothing else
Thanks for the info! Ima pick up the black and red. How long did these fully last?
If not for the dye problem, they would’ve lasted a long time. At least three months

Seems like a thing with that colour. Had other colours and never had that happen. Feel ya on the sweaty feet loose shoe deal. Solid vids!
I was thinking about buying a brown pair of these but seeing the dye run makes me second guess 😬

I really love your videos. Especially the Ollie tutorial. May I ask how old you are? I’m 30 and just started learning skateboarding
Thanks for the kind words! I’m 26
Skate Sage thanks for making these videos!
Hell of good skating. Reminds me of my childhood home as well.

Yeah, I don’t expect that all Maranas would have the dye problem. Maybe not even a different red pair. Could have just been a fluke
may I ask what color of slips on your wear?
Will these be good for mtb? I know the crank is for mtb but not sure what the difference is??
Are these vulc or cup? I ordered a pair off Amazon and it wasn’t in the description…
They were cupsole I believe

Yeah, I’m definitely open to trying another pair. I know that flukes happen sometimes
Oh man, I ordered these shoes right before watching this video. Same color and everything, lol. I had read and watched other reviews and nobody mentioned anything about dye leaking or staining. I sure hope mine don't have this problem.
I think I just had a dud pair
@@SkateSage I didn't cancel the order. I'll let you know what happens. Man, that was a lot of dye!
@@McBurnside6380 how were they?
@@gusrosevear5974 just fine. I skated in them all last summer with no issues. No dye leaking or anything.
@@McBurnside6380 awesome thank you I just ordered some and I cant wait
Were they truer to size?
Sized the same as most shoes. Like a Vans shoe
Can you take the insoles out?
You can!
@@SkateSage thank you man I appreciate the fast reply!
Here is no etnies store in my country
I ordered online
thank you for your review
Also having a lot of irritation with the tongue
I haven’t but different foot shapes can definitely change the feel
Wow, talking about design issue with the whole dye thing. Unskateable indeed!
I’m hoping it was just the pair I have and not all of them

Worst timing because I copped the Street League edition
I think it was just a problem with these specific shoes. I bet yours won't have this problem (I hope haha)
Bro wtf do you skate on lol. My shoes never tear
To correct myself earlier, I know you do tutorials, but more “tips”. Sorry for the confusesion
sick skating atleast :D
Bloody bastards! They would be great at a Halloween party, for a undead skater kinda thing...
Should of sent those shoes back
Put some Shoe Goo on it
Lol good idea
Bleeding shoes!
😮😮😮
Shane O’Neil
He’s back in the 865
Oh yeah
The only bleeding shoe on the market
You skate a lot with this shoes, look at the sole.... like brand new....how many skate shoes sole look brand new when the rest of the shoe looks very used??
