Diferences in the shoes?
« on: September 19, 2004, 04:58:56 AM »
Okay, I'm interested in getting a pair.  But what is the difference between the different kinds?  Like they have the flame ones , the action blue/black, and some others, and others like the sandbaggers.  But, what is the difference between them?  Like I know linds, ABS and dexter offer the various soles and heels, and use kangaroo leather in the expensive ones, but I don't know how the etonic ones differ.  Is it only the material?  If it is, I'll just get the action ones.  Also, for those who bought them, do they come with anything?  You know, how the ABS come with the shoe covers and bag, etc.

Thanks for any help.  Just wondering if I'll be better off just getting ABS shoes.

Andy, there is no difference in the Etonics except the designs.

Hmm, in that case, I think I'll just go with the ABS tour deluxes........

That's odd.............."dynorooz"?  Did they change?

There are some differences between the Etonics.  The Stablites do have a different construction.  The left and right shoes are different.  The lesser models are uni.  The construction is good and they are very comfortable.  If you are looking for the gadgets they do not have them as of yet.  They are suppose to be working on this.  It took a while for the Stablites to hit the shelves but for me it was worth the wait.  They are very nice shoes at a very good price.

If you don't need the interchangeable soles and heels, the Etonics look like a nice shoe at a great price.

You kids can get the flames, but old codgers like me should stick with the Classics!

Definitely thinking about getting a pair...

There are differences in the etonic competition shoes.

You have the ESL Flames(red/black and white/red, made of leather)
then ESL CLassics(come in black and white, made of leather)
lastly, the shoe I have, ESS Actions, which are made of Microfibers. However, other than that, there is no difference in the competition shoes.

i have a friend who bought a pair of flames, and for 20 bux or so had some velcro sown on the sole by some shoe person. He now has nice looking shoes and can switch soles, using the dexter soles. I don't know how feesible this is for you, but if you really want interchangeable soles and etonics, this would be the way to go.
