Customer Reviews etnies Scout

This is a very lightweight and comfortable shoe. Highly recommend for hanging out and going to class. Due to the fact this shoe is so light weight, the quality isn't the greatest. After a few days of wear I can already see where I will have problems in the future. Overall this shoe is a great fit for anyone with narrow feet and looking for a relaxing, and stylish shoe.

Honestly these shoes are extremely lightweight. They run insanely small and narrow. I would suggest getting a size or TWO bigger. Had to return for larger size

I owned a prior version of the Scouts made around 2015 or so. The outer was an actual grey weave like something you'd see on a flannel or sport jacket. The comfort was fantastic, they let my feet breathe, and were easy to slip on and off. Fast forward to 2022. My grey Scouts are falling apart; the rubber sole spots are completely worn down, the foam on the sole is being worn through, and I've ground through the insole. I thought I'd see if Etnies were still making the Scout and when I saw that they were, I ordered a pair. First, these run really small. I normally wear a 10 but had to size up to an 11. Also, the fabric upper had changed. Whereas before it was a cotton-like weave it's now a synthetic-like mesh. You can take a tiny pen light and actually shine it through the upper which you couldn't do that on the prior versions. The new ones are also slightly less cushy; when you plant your foot, you can actually feel the rubber "pads" on the sole. They're still easy to slip-on and reasonably comfortable as a shoe you slip into when you get into the office but wearing these in wet weather or below 50 F is not advised. Bottom-line: if you're looking for a stylish and comfortable shoe for most seasons, consider spending a bit more for a pair of Cole Haan's. If you want a lace-up kick-around shoe for dry summer weather, these are great.

At first they were light and comfy, but having them on my full second day I felt tired and my feet started to hurt because of really bad sole. And it is too late to return them unfortunately. I really big fan of Etnies but this kind is not developed right.

Super nice shoe, but they were a bit stiff and narrow for my husbands feet. He really wanted to like them because they look nice, but they were just too narrow for his comfort.

The fit was small by at least a full size from what I can tell. I ordered two other sets of dress shoes as per the sizing guide on the site (which didn't alter from the shoes I chose). The other 2 fit fine, this one unfortunately ran small. The look and feel of the shoe... I wasn't disappointed in. Looked great and was extremely light.

Runs a bit tight, leaving little room for natural toe wiggle. Moderate quality-look to it. The design of the side/tongue down to the sole causes tight pain due to a seem in a bad spot.

These things run small and feel like something you'd buy off a hangar at Walmart. I would have returned but unfortunately I took a tag off them so I can't. Seriously feel like CHEAP shoes

I opened these and thought it was some sort of joke. Maybe I'm used to higher-quality shoes (I usually buy Clarks), but my definition of "shoe" is more than a styrofoam buffer around your feet – it's something that provides support, comfort and feels sturdy. Also, these are definitely a size or so small. Others in the reviews pointed this out, but I didn't believe them – my mistake. I returned my pair.

Was disappointed with these overall. Felt small and narrow. And overall just not very comfortable. Liked the pictures of this shoe better than the real thing. :(

Really loved these shoes out out of the box. Sadly, the black coloring on sole wore away in a few days from daily use/walking. They're comfortable at first but wear out fast and become uncomfortable after a few hours. Worst shoe I've ever had from Etnies. Wish they had more styles/colors in size 15 as well.

I WISH I SAW THAT WARNING OF HALF SIZE SMALL.. Goosh!! My honest review please listen to other reviewers first before purchasing anything. Anyway I'm stuck with it.

Scout purchased ~2014 perhaps the most comfortable shoe I've owned. Super light with extremely breathable fabric. Elastic band in back perfect for keeping it on with laces quite loosely tighted. Scout purchased 2016 is very different. Fabric no longer super breathable and the fit is odd. It's about 1/2 size shorter and has a pointier toe. The real oddity is that the forefoot is very low, so low that it pushes on the top of my toes. Exchanged for a 2nd pair in case of a fluke. Nope. Returned.

I must have really hot feet. Am I the only one that thinks these actually don't breathe well at all? The outer layer is mesh but it's lined with a thick polyester type material in the inside so they don't breathe very well. If you're expecting a mesh like many ultra light running shoes, I think you'll be disappointed. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until I wore them out so I was unable to return them. They are a good looking shoe though just wish the upper material was actual mesh.

They seemed like nice light walking shoes, but after a few days of wearing them, the middle seam on the right shoe started to irritate my foot and rubs against the top of my foot. Basically became unwearable after that. If this is a common problem, I don't know, but I wouldn't recommend these because of it.

Sorry to report that I haven't had much luck with this etnies shoes - had to return 2 pairs by now, and am giving up. First pair, the right shoe had an obvious manufacturing defect - the shoe itself was built skewed, so my foot sat diagonally inside it, with my toe and left foot edge pressing quite uncomfortably against the shoe. Never seen that before in a shoe. Asked Zappos for a return, got a second pair of the same style & color, and of course size. This second pair was, no kidding, visibly smaller, maybe 1/2 an inch, and did not fit. Very disappointed in the brand, seems like very flaky quality control. Zappos of course is awesome, as always!!!

Unfortunately this shoe runs incredibly small.

Shoe was too small and too narrow. The sole was of a very flimsy material that was not flat but pronated in on the left shoe.

Very poor fit and very uncomfortable shoe to wear for more than an hour every day. Runs about 1 size smaller at the very least and is very narrow with absent arch support. Would not recommend.

I decided these would be not useful if i placed them in my nightly bon ??. What a great decision. Happy I made this purchase

If you're looking for the bare minimum effort in making a sneaker, you just found it. It's actually pretty comfortable for a show that is dangerously flimsy. The mesh was bulging out everywhere around the shape of my foot, and was destined to rip within a month. They definitely didn't account for an adult sized foot actually fitting into this. Even the sole is cheap and overly pliable. Realistically these are slipper that look like sneakers.
