I usually have a "kick around" pair and a pair that I skate(board) in--I don't wear those in public because they usually look like hell. I've gravitated toward the all-black stuff because as a 37 y/o skateboarder I don't want to be wearing the flashy shoes a 14 y/o skateboarder wears.

Check out the Circa combat division there cheap and a damn good skate/all around shoe.

plus the vans with skulls, punk rock show $hit kickers, and my every day steel toe doc martens industrial work boots.

Do they have a decent level of cushion in the sole? I was really impressed w/ the comfort/cushion level of the Etnies. Also--do they tend to run true to size?

I'll have to look into what local shops carry Circa. Thanks for the tip.

The heel has pretty good cushioning and the toe area is pretty descent as well.They have a nice gum sole with tons on grip and feel.As for sizing they are pretty true to size.I'm on my fourth pair of Tre's now if that says any thing.These are the ones I wear.

I absolutely loved my Etnies. I had some pro skater's signature shoe, and they were the most comfortable thing in the world...I wore them for 3 years until they wore out.
