I used to skate the accel og’s back in the puffy shoe era. Loved them. Multiple pairs. As trends changed I found that I like less puff but still love the cup sole and shape. I usually only buy shoes that I can try on but took a chance and bought the slims. The shoe feels great accept for one aspect. The insole has a higher heal for heel support and sets your foot at an angle. Not a fan of that but I don’t have money to keep buying new shoes so I’m going to just try and get used to it.

ACCEL SLIM

ACCEL SLIM

Love the look of the shoes. However, the the slim shoe does not accommodate my foot/s toe-box as well as it could. Furthermore, I’m naturally a slight pronator and with the way the shoe is built, I have a hard time staying on top of the shoe, I’m either pronating or supinating. So - great style but the fit / design for performance is not as good as I think it could be.

The OG accel was my favorite shoe as a young skater in the early 00s. And now the accel slims are my son’s favorite. He wants every style and color. Brings a tear to my eye.
