I mainly purchase ES skate shoes to collect them, I try to keep them in perfect condition. Upon receiving this product I noticed some sort of stain or blemish on the toe of the shoe. Wasn't to happy about that, But figured not to make a big deal out of it. Not sure if they were used or dropped, besides that I feel like its a wonderful shoe. Ashame my OCD picks up little faults like this.

Unfortunately a couple a little quality issues. Here and there thread ends sticking out and a few small colored spots.

After skating these mid top accels they may be my new go to skate shoes. These shoes remind me of the early 2000 vulc mid top shoes that I use to love to skate. Even being a cup sole shoe these shoes have great board feel but you will have to break them in. I skated them straight out of my box and they were grippy which turned me off of them at first. After wearing them in, it was a game changer. Board feel was great, flicks were better feeling, and it changed my mind. Im not jumping down stairs or hitting massive transitions. I skate ledges, boxes, flat ground, and minis. These mids give great ankle protection for that style of skating. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone.

These shoes fit me well and the inner and out-sole last a long time

The sole isn't very soft. It's not a comfortable fit.
