Skating these eS Seslas I got for a cool $35. Took til my 3rd session to fully get used to them but they’re good to go now! Really like the sole and the runners toe. Went half a size up as recommended by es. So far they’re very solid shoes, just a couple minor gripes so far.
The shoelaces are long as hell. When laced all the way up there’s still a good half foot or more worth of lace left at the top. I swapped em out for some other rope laces you can buy at the store which helped shorten them up a bit. The outer lace holes look like they’d get shredded instantly, so you’ll probably have to use the internal lacing at some point if you don’t do that from the jump. Also, there’s one less lace loop on the inside lacing. At first I did all internal lacing with the last one on the outside but ripped the OG laces on that outer loop in one session doing heelflips, so again you might as well just go with the internal lacing. I like my shoes tied tight and even tho i wish there was an extra loop, they’re still secure enough for me. I was launching over some shit yesterday at high speeds and wasn’t worried about em, so they’re good there.
My only real concern is the mesh sidewall on this particular colorway. While the rest of the shoe seems pretty durable, I’m already starting to rip some small holes into it so it remains to be seen how long they’ll last. My last eS’s were deceptively durable in the sense that I thought they’d rip through at a certain point but lasted a good 2-3 weeks later. Hopefully these are the same in that regard.
So far tho, I’m hyped on em and happy I got em cheap
