Is there much difference between a Veer and an Accel Slim?
I haven't had the accel slim any time recently so IDK. The Michelin sole is probably the biggest difference. I would like to hear some input from others though, I wouldn't mind picking up a pair of accel slims in the future. to someone who has had both- are they the same sizing wise?
Have both. Not very similar.
Accel slims have a much thinner/more flexible sole, and tongue centering straps. The Veer feels a bit more bulky all around aside from the tongue. Accels also fit a half size small, Veers are true to size.
Sounds like you got these two backwards, but that's just me. Lol. Accel Slim (older and newer ones) are pretty much 100% TTS for me, while the Veer is half a size small. I had 6 Accel Slims and I always went 11 (my regular size), while I need 11.5 in Veer (also an 11.5 in Joslin and Maranas). Some people can get away with their normal size in the Veers but that toe box is stupid narrow if you don't go 0.5 up.
Also, a more appropriate comparison from what I have tried would be this:
- Veer & Accel Slim Plus (not the regular slim) or the reissued Contract (Kelly Hart, Asta, Wade D, Creager ones) those two es models are the closest to Veer, but the Veer has a thicker sole than both of those two. Not Lynx thick but enough to need you to break them in.
