I'm trying to be a bit more frugal these days and not buy any new shoes but that one photon dust/rust colorway looks so cool. Plus I'm curious about those react insoles and if they're special enough to warrant the purchase alone and if I could reuse them for other sneakers like the old Lunarlon ones?

They skate well, nice and grippy with good boardfeel. The outsole goes up kind of high to mimic the wrap of a vulc, but I like that and think it will add to the durability. I feel like that might be a no go for some people.The react insole is removable. I'm also running a set of bruin Hyperfeels that I thrifted and the react is definitely firmer and more dense than the Hyperfeel (or Lunarlon). I'm a big guy and Lunarlon just didn't do it for me, so I am optimistic about these. I'll keep you posted with how the insoles hold up @funeral_tuxedo

Had planned on reselling these in order to add to a little savings fund I've been building up, but the resale isn't very high. Plus, the more I look at them, the more I want to wear them...

Bad design. The worst part of the Accel (IMO) is that toe strip starts peeling immediately if you do a lot of flip tricks, so putting it as the furthest out layer compromises the shoes integrity a lot quicker. I too tried the square 3, though I'm not a vulc skater, and while the soles didn't convert me I noticed the uppers lasted quite a bit longer then the Accel slims I tried. Most likely because the toe area was one single piece which actually lasted a lot longer thanks to there not being stitching directly in area my kick flips and tre's usually scuff up.If es would put the square 3 upper on the Accel plus sole I'd probably try them again. If they also took out that perforated leather side panel and replaced it with mesh I would for sure.

Shoe question.I'm mid 30s, work on my feet all day on concrete, sometimes I hop on my board and my feet instantly scream at me. Looking for a stiffer shoe, less "board feel" if you will.Currently have some nike sb team classics or some shit, they're quite thin and flexy.Thoughts?
