Thanks to Kelly Hart/eS for these two dope kicks.
I ordered both those shoes from the Christmas 'eS sale. Skated the accel slim first, now I'm on the Swift 1.5.
Swift definitely has better padding/sole construction and fits closer to the foot. Really digging this shoe beside the fact that I'm missing skating thin vulc shoes since I've been on a cupsole streak lately.
Accel slims (I've skated 3 pairs hoping I'd like them more each time) always seem to bag out pretty bad in the forefoot after a few sessions. Never really feel like I'm skating to my potential when I skate the Accels, they're blocky or something I can't put my finger on. The original insole is too forgiving which messes with boardfeel although it's relatively thin, and using molded FP insoles makes the sole feel too thick.
They're worth 30 bucks doe.
