lemme know how those feel, wiz
@Wizard - They are beauts. Also interested to hear how they skate. I've tried the Romero Troubadour Mid now twice and Emerica's sizing just doesn't seem to work for me for whatever reason. The 10 are too long and the 9.5 are way too tight for me.
I like them a lot. They're Laced Highs, and I have a regular pair of the Laced, so I knew exactly what I was getting into. If you like the odd combination of no padding and a cup sole, these are a good choice. They grip well too. The toes are pretty round. I pretty much only buy Emericas, and ones that are on sale, and like all of them. I've had Reynolds Cruisers, Winos, the Laced, and Shifter Lows. I don't really know the deal with the sizing, because I can comfortably wear 10s, 10.5s, and 11s, but I guess I just got it like that.
Edit - Damn, I sound hella boring in writing.
I actually got them for $35 at No Comply skate shop in Bemidji, Minnesota, while visiting my parents. They had a huge clearance section including a half dozen black eS Accels, which suprised me.
