These are my second pair of eS shoes, my first were Koston K3's. The Accel OG variant has been great. I like the ankle cushioning and puffy tongue, and the two-tone grey looks good with everything. But it wasn't until I put in a long ride that I realized why they're called Accel. The shoe's sole is wide, angled, medium-soft and stable -- perfect if you are an older skater like me that gets plantar facitis. There is a big difference between a skateboarding shoe and a basketball shoe with skateboard features attached as an afterthought. I love the Accel and will be back for another pair when the shoe finally wears thin...
