Post the shoes you're wearing.

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...

That are Asking to be skated. So lucky you got em

[DarkPools]

Those few of you on the last page.. what was off about the Accel Slim Plus? Most feedback I hear has been positive.

I have a pair that I'm not sure if I wanna skate or chill in, so I'm curious.

[Ok]

I have never done a raffle.
I should have for those.
Look like a great skate shoe.

Skated these for 5-6 hours, the worst shoe I've skated from 12 over the last year

ES Accell Slim Plus

[close]

Bought a pair two years ago, skated them 15mn in the shop parking lot and then drove to the local park to drop them off.

Big oof, skated the Square 3 (Vulc Accel) and it was so-so, eS really shitting the bed by not capitalizing more on the model.

It doesn't really make sense to have that toe strip go over the triangular Ollie area patch. 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.

Interesting. I've skated the Accel Slim Plus and that toe panel was somehow bonded to the layers under it, so even as it wore down it stayed attached to the other layers. I think changing it to go over the other panel on the side was a style choice to make it different, but I didn't have any issues there. The black Accel Slims I skated last year also seemed to have that bonded toe panel, which is odd because I've definitely seen people with theirs flapping off like the Accel Slim Plus in the pic. I don't skate shoes super long though - once they get too worn down in the kickflip area or the sole gets worn down on one side of the heel (making ankle rolls more likely) I switch them out.

Been using the Reebok Workout Plus shoes as chillers for a bit now. Time to skate them.

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?

This is only one man's opinion based on your question, but have you tried a pair of Simples lately?  I've found them to be a bit kinder to the ol' foot

Most cupsoles should give you what your looking for. I prefer Nikes..NB..and even some DC's. Your feet will thank you

Copa nationale were kind to me. 3st.004 are also a nice option

Hmm, looks like I've been running cupsoles. They must just be super thin. Walking on gravel I swear I can feel every rock. Guess I'll just have to find the bulkier ones

Insoles, insoles, insoles.

The Dr Scholl ones are good for walking shoes and some skate shoes if you have regular arches. Get insoles with a solid arch support if you're flat footed like me.

Cupsoles, new insoles and get yourself some cushiony work shoes bud

I work 10+ hours on concrete floors, I’ve got footprint insoles in my work boots, skate shoes even some dr martens. Works a treat if you can get past the stage where they have to fit to your feet

[Ok]

Yes, wear a very stiff supportive shoe at work. And then for skating: Tyshawn’s, dunks, aj1s, legacy slim, Ave pro, nb 1010.

@Uncle Jeffrey I also really like the Adidas 3ST004 but if you'd prefer a mid top or a padded vulc the Premier SB Blazers are actually quite padded underfoot with a thicker midsole (I think). Regular SB Blazers are great too but maybe you could try on some Premiums and see if those work out for you? The black/gum pair is the one I wear and it's really nice. I'm not sure what your size is or what your preferences are but here's a link to Tactics since it's quite discounted and there's several sizes left:
https://www.tactics.com/nike-sb/zoom-blazer-mid-premium-skate-shoes/black-white-black-gum-light-brown

If you don't see your size maybe Premier Store or Parade World would have your size since it's an older shoe and sizes might be limited. Good luck!

Very good, not stiff at all.

[AsianVegan]

Yeah, those Team Classics were too thin for me - any non-bulky cupsole will be a huge improvement.

Nice, I like the look of the midsole on those. Funny to tie laces around your ankles with low tops

My gf's shoe game is better than mine right now. She just got home from work (personal trainer) and we skated through the neighborhood to check out this new spot we're gonna rent in september and i was joking her for her Leticia cosplay since she was in nike's, leggings, and a crop top/sports bra lol.

[MOE SYZLAK]

Picked up another pair of fastbreaks it’s the perfect shoe IMO

Agreed, but I would prefer if it came with thicker laces/normal width laces

[chris.]

Great looking shoe Moe. I just moved on from mine and I wish I hadn’t. The soles were worn and my feet hurt in em, which is always my cue to move on to the next pair, but I just miss em 

[MyUserName]

I have literally never in all my years of obsessively looking at shoes seen someone tie laces around their ankles with low tops. I’m utterly fascinated.

I agree with that , I usually just put thicker ones in after a couple sessions. but finding thick ones in this grey color might be tough.

I usually bite the bullet and do Amazon if I’m planning on them being chillers for a bit
