eS thread

[rikki]

I noticed there isn't a centralized eS shoe thread as of yet – at least my multiple searches did not locate one.
Apologies if this is in error, and feel free to delete.

Anyway, to my question: are eS Accel Slims TTS or not? Example in case: my NB 440s are size 10 and are perfect. Would a size 10 in eS Accel Slims thus be a safe bet?

[Musicaldeath107]

For me anything SoleTech except the ES Quattro has been TTS.

Quattro you have to go half size up, I think they even say it on the site.

Also probably time for a SoleTech containment thread I would imagine.

Accel slims are TTS to me. Same size as all Emericas at least.

How are the Quattro x Silos or Quattro Plus as I think they’re called now? I’ve been eying those for a while now. I really like the throwback late 90s vibes I get from those.

Yup they are TTS, worn multiple pairs of the Accel Slim Plus and the Swift 1.5 and they fit my 9.5 foot perfectly, a little snug initially since I have a wide foot but they stretch out after you spend a few days walking around in them.

I've been wearing the Etnies Marana Michelin for a few months and while they fit TTS length wise, the suede took very long to stretch out. Spent close to 2 weeks walking and skating them while on holiday and they were still very tight by the end of the trip. Took me a month of skating before they feel just right. Great in terms of maintaining their shape across the life of the shoe, but my feet were cramping up every night for the start.

I have a pair as chillers currently.  They feel a little tippy on that sole since they are lower cut than you'd think.
Still probably skate em next

accel slim fit tts for me as well. i did, however, find the forefoot too slim. vulc wino slip-on feel better to the ball of my foot than accel slim did. kinda disappointing for a cup sole.

Same. All of these questions are perfect for the "Shoes you're wearing" thread. The emerica containment thread popped up to contain the argument about Emerica's quality and models from taking over the Upcoming thread & because EmericaTM posts and responds on Slap.

[rikki]

Thanks for the answers!

As for the thread, I would imagine many of us would find it more user-friendly to have separate threads for various brands, as the 'Shoes you're wearing' thread has a gadzillion posts and info tends to get lost. Also, this way it's easier to compare different models under each brand, which is also a thing. It's not like there are a 1000 different shoe brands that have enough user base to result in 1000 threads.

Anyone else think it’s a bit of a bummer that the main shoes thread (Tate’s thread) is going to be kinda useless now?

I think somebody floated the idea of the main shoes thread for all shoes that are coming out/general talk and then using the specific brand threads for more in depth discussion. I do see a problem with having ten different threads where subjects like shoe A vs shoe B are just going to be repeated ten times

I’m wearing a pair of Quattro’s at the moment, for me they are TTS so I dunno, guess everyones feet are built different. Also, couldn’t find any info them running small atleast from es eu-site…

But then people in other threads will just moan about people discussing said brands and/or it kind of derails said threads.

[Atiba Applebum]

NB and Emerica containments are nice bc actual reps from those companies are on the boards. 

Nike made sense bc they released a lot (or did) and their inclusion always brought the same obnoxious debate up

eS like Vans and Cons don’t seem to provide enough new/different for their own spaces.   BANDWITH as Tate would say

[rikki]

Well, let's see. If this thread dies, it deserves to die.

Although I'm kinda hoping to see multiple photos of Penny-style revivalists with their huge pants and bulky OG Accels.

Nah fam, it creates safe spaces for people who get hurt by others opinions. It’s a win win.

Do we really need an individual thread for every brand?

Nice maybe they fixed the sizing.

What are the chances we could get Kelly Hart on here discussing eS

I think the most logical solution is to have an individual thread for each brand, shoe model, shoe size, and colorway. That definitely won't clog up the boards.

So when did the Accel's start getting absurdly bulky? I always hear that they didn't used to be as big as they are now, and in photos they seem like completely different shoes. This is from 1996:

I had a pair briefly last year and I was a bit shocked by how absurdly bulky they are.

2006ish. They reworked the whole shape of the shoe back then

Is there anything nowadays that's comparable to the old accel's? I was looking at the vans fairlane but they took out the puffiness.

these brands can not be contained they are insatiable

[Musicaldeath107]

Can we seriously just combine this with the Emerica Containment thread and call it the Sole Tech Containment thread?
And also hopefully pre-empt the Etnies Containment Thread that way

[Madam, I'm Adam]

More like contaminant thread.

Just kidding. Or maybe I'm not.

Honestly the Emerica thread only happened because people wouldn't stop trashing Emerica and ran them out of the thread. there was zero reason to have them move anyway tbh

eS - the shoe company whose entire identity was a lisp sound

Etnies Rap. Ben Degros has been skating them a lot lately. Sort of a mid-puff Accel. Also the Rap is technically the first generation Accel ( if my timeline is correct).
