FAQ

01 Are éS shoes made for skateboarding?

Yes. Every éS shoe is designed for technical skateboarding, from tread patterns to foam systems to wear zones. éS was founded to push skate footwear design forward, and that engineering-first mindset guides every model we release.

02 How durable are éS shoes?

Durability is engineered into the build: reinforced ollie zones, rubber overlays, triple stitching, and high-abrasion materials. Cupsole models provide long-lasting outsole integrity, while selected vulc models use wrapped foxing for wear protection.

03 What technologies do éS shoes use?

éS shoes use skate-specific construction features for durability, comfort and performance. These include cupsole construction, reinforced ollie zones, triple-stitched toe caps, rubberized overlays on high-wear areas, hidden lace-loops, molded EVA or E-Bound foam insoles for impact protection, breathable mesh panels and high-grip rubber outsoles.

04 How do I choose between éS shoe models?

All éS shoes use cupsole construction, but each model offers a different mix of support, boardfeel and durability. Classic styles like the Accel or Swift are stable and durable. Modern models focus on lighter weight and impact protection, while heritage remasters keep original design DNA. Choose based on whether you want more support or a more responsive feel.

05 Are éS shoes good for impact skating?

Yes. Many models were built using STI Energy Foam midsoles, high-rebound insoles, and supportive cupsole construction and we are always developing technologies for the future. These designs originated from the golden era of technical skating and have been refined to handle modern impact demands.

06 What materials do éS shoes typically use?

Full-grain leather, suede, synthetic reinforcements, breathable mesh, and high-grip rubber. Materials are selected for the blend of durability, performance, and feel needed for technical skateboarding.

07 Why does éS focus on engineering?

éS was founded to advance skate footwear. In the 90s and 2000s, the brand set the benchmark for technical design - clean silhouettes, smart overlays, better impact protection, and shoes built to progress skateboarding. Today, that same engineering mindset underpins every new model.

08 What is included in the éS Skateboarding apparel collection?

Everything you need to complete your fit divided into three categories; Tops include tees and pullovers; Bottoms include denim pants and shorts; Accessories include socks and caps.

09 Which pros skate or wear éS shoes?

éS has been worn by many of skateboarding’s most influential pros, including Eric Koston, Tom Penny, Chad Muska, Bob Burnquist, Rick McCrank and Ronnie Creager. Later generations included Paul Rodriguez, PJ Ladd, Rodrigo TX and Wade Desarmo. In 2025, éS introduced the TJ Rogers pro model, continuing the brand’s long tradition of supporting elite skateboarders.

10 How does éS apparel fit; are the tees, hoodies, and pullovers true to size?

Fit depends on the piece; use the size chart for Tops and size up if you are between sizes. For bottoms, the denim pants are true to size and feature a nice baggy fit.

11 What size should I buy in éS clothing and how do I measure?

Start with chest and waist; then match your numbers to the Tops size chart. For example: size M corresponds to a chest measurement of 93 to 101 cm and waist 81 to 86 cm; if you are between sizes, size up for a looser fit or down for a cleaner fit.

12 Do éS shoes fit true to size?

As they are designed with a medium-width profile, most éS shoes fit true to size with a classic skate fit-secure in the heel with room for natural movement in the forefoot. Models like the Accel and Swift are built on legacy éS lasts, while newer silhouettes may feel more streamlined. If you prefer a tighter performance fit, you can size down ½ size.

It performs well, though it may feel slightly overbuilt for a day to day shoe.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Jodie!

What happen to the stickers?

Shoes came in for my gf. beautiful swift 1.5 but was actually kinda disappointed there was no sticker.

Great mix of skate function and style. They feel solid, comfortable, and ready for everyday skating.

The double-layer, double-stitched toe cap add serious durability, while the EVA midsole and removable footbed provide good cushioning and support.

A dependable, performance-focused shoe with strong materials and grip. Comfort is good overall, but the design is clearly aimed more at skating than everyday softness.

Lack of customer service

I have ordered skate shoes through Es on many occasions and never had an issue. However, I placed my most recent order on November 20th, it is now December 8th and the order status has not moved from "confirmed". It's 18 days later and I don't have an update on the status of my order. There is no Customer Service number for me to call. I sent a "reply" to my order email confirmation inquiring about the status of the order. I also sent two messages through the website's Contact Us portal. I have not heard back from anyone regarding the status of my order. I ordered the shoes for my son's birthday. Here we are 4-days from my son's birthday with no shoes, and no updates from Es even though the money has already been charged to my account. I'm disappointed in the lack of customer service from Es.
