Best skate shoe, and skate shoe company ever! Bought a pair to wear, and a pair to tear. Would have given 5 stars but I was mildly annoyed when I went to order the second pair with a discount code I got from ordering the first that never worked at checkout no matter how I put it in. The email I got asking to leave this review included that same invalid code. Will be making more orders in the future. Just sad that they send you a sweet return purchase discount code that doesnt work.

Great shoe! True to the size, comfortable and durable. White/black is amazing OG colorway!
One of my favorite shoes of all time. And my favorite colorway is these white with black soles.
Best shoes ever! Had these shoes as a teen and I’m now 30 years old haha still great shoes.
Great shoe but one of the tongue straps was stitched in crossed and can feel it crossed over when I wear the shoe
as i said Before, this was the shoe to wear in the 90s, i probably had over 100 pair of these shoes, Clean looking shoe, thnak you for bringing this back.
for one that skated in the 90s and watched penny skate live this was a warm welcome.
the best
YYeeeewww!! What an awesome present to open under the tree!! I thought i had deja-vu, but then i remembered that I probably got them for christmas back when i was in the Tenth grade, over 12 years ago... How cool is that? That these re-issues are making my life feel normal again, i dont have to buy shoes on ebay anymore! DEATH TO VULCANIZED SKATE SHOES! and no more bruised heels, or rolled ankles with these sturdy things that pop the NICEST frontside flips possible! and look super stylish/like and actual skateboarder while doing it! Please more re-issues and more silos!! diodes, and schemes & air bubbles are missing from this world! only es can deliver them to us.. keep supporting and hoping!
Extremely comfortable Shoe, cool design and looks durable, I love és is my third pair this year
A++
I am very happy with the eS Accel. Thank you eS for creating the BEST shoe of all time I’ll get another pair of these soon
These are like pillows for my feet! Love em!
Just can't get over the Accel. Brings me back to all those long days and late nights around the city skating! This Black/Charcoal is an awesome colorway! These are the béSt skate shoéS on the planet!
Love the chocolate/gum color scheme on my favorite és shoe, also love the long lasting grippy sole and durability all around that any other brand has yet to accomplish
One of the best skate shoes ever.
This is a ten stars shoe. Timeless classic. It just works.
Every skate shop needs more of these!
Oh yeah, bring on the classics! Like a vinyl record or your granddads car, the classics never seem to die young. Happy with the feel, astounded by the plushness. Screw yeezies, these are bliss to my feetsies
Keep selling them, I'll keep buying them!
I hate to leave a good review and encourage people to buy these because I rather have them for myself . But so long as nobody buys out size 13 . Here we go most fucking comfortable shoe on the planet . I have 5 pairs in boxes and plan on getting more for when I’m in a nursing home. Side note great shoe for somewhat wider feet . Screw you skinny feet people. Thanks ES
All around great shoe, really comfortable and super grippy!! Will be getting another pair for sure.
This shoe is like the wheel, if one tries to reinvent it they'll just ruin it. So happy it's still available.
Extremely well designed
Awesome comfortable skate shoes !
Really good classic style skate shoes. No difference if you are skating or walking in the Swiss Alps, they won't let you down!
Best skate shoe ever made hands down. Being able to skate these again reminds me of how bad so many of my shoes are and have been. I'm stock piling these now so no matter what happens I can skate them for the rest of my life without worry. Thank you es for making these again. How about red for a colorway.
I got black/charcoal in US10.5 and fit is true to the size. Feels and wears like any other Accel OG shoes. Simply awesome.
I love skating in these again brings back memories love seeing the accel back on the market
I've owned many pairs of accels these are the greatest
The accel og is the best skate shoe ever in my opinion and it lasts and holds up beautifully
Great shoes! However, this latest batch of the new BLACK/CHARCOAL Color seem too run narrower than previous colorways. The toebox is definitely narrower it seems on most of them or at least the 4 pairs that I had to send back. So I assume there are more that are too narrow for me. I was lucky to get ONE pair that fit but I had to order 5 pairs.
The Accel will always get 5 stars, compared to the garbage shoes styles they make these day. Still the best looking shoe in the 21st century, and they are from the 20th. This is my 6th pair.
I have worn all gum accels for a long time. I saw these and decided to check them out. Glad I did. The sole looks great. The shoe looks great. The colors pop. Nice shoe. Skates as well as any other accelerate og.
Amazing shoe! Fits true to the size. It is well padded and protects foot and ankle very well. One of the best skate shoes on the market and it is my go to skate shoe.
Great shoes. Great service.
The accel og aren't how I remember them from years past. They seem to be even bulkier than before and the toe is too rounded. I will not be skating these or wearing them for that matter. They are very comfy however, I just won't be able to rock these unfortunately. I should have bought another pair of slims instead of the ogs.
Received 1st product in a week needed to return which was a fast and easy process due to great customer service received 2nd product 2 days after confirmation of the returned item excellent! Love these shoes!
One of the best shoes ever! It's sooo comfortable & it looks really nice! I LOVE it so much, I've already bought 3 pairs of it! You can't go wrong with the "Accel OG"...
Happy to see new sales of these great shoes
Great Shoes! aIot of padding around the ankle and tongue is comfortable They fit my wider forefoot better than almost every cupsole shoe
Always loved the Accel, it's a classic silhouette. Most would say its chunky, but its still one of the least chunkiest shoes that were out of the bunch in the early to mid 2000s. I was enjoying the skate in my pair, which were straight of the box banging. I took them with me to Barcelona with a fresh board to accompany this, however they lost our luggage on our return to Wales and I no longer have them. Yes, they are a banging shoe and I will return to buy another pair. This colorway in particular, is a lot better looking in person as well.
simply ès.......oldskool..great classik
Hey 'eS it's Pete Fadeff I am on sk8rat's team in Washington state I skate all accels back in the day 2002 I started skateing them I love them alot just wanted pj Ladd back on bc I skate the black es for him thank you for being me in to my skateboarding life I started when I was 5 year's old im 28 now thanks again GO S TEAM keep it up
Most comfortable shoes ever.
These are one of the most classic skateboarding shoes of all time. A shoe worthy of being a GOAT. Only shoe that I have more love for are the OG Sal 23s. The Accel OG are right there next to them. Plain, clear, simple greatness. As long as És has these available, they have my money.
Can we get some more sizes for the guys with big feet thanks
thanks once again for the best shoes ever.
Love the OG!!
Only company I will skate, although I do like all the shoes under the sole tech brand this particular shoe fits the bill so perfect its scary, as a skater of the original es accel models (the ones that use to have the lower hidden lace loops and tounge center loop) and many other models from that era, these ogs are just as perfect felt like 2005 all over again, got a few stashed away just for the nostalgia factor,, one thing to note I just received the chocolate/gum colorway (just dropped not too long ago) and the soles seem thinner then say the black/grey/white or all tan models, I dont know if this is on purpose or not but im excited to try them on my board maybe better boardfeel? Only time will tell,, Whatever there doing there doing it on point and hopefully never close there doors again, ill continue to buy till I cant physically skate any longer
The best shoe from eS just got better. It now comes with low profile energy foam insoles that provide a better cushioning without compromising board feel.
Love the shoes.. have had multiple pairs in the past so glad they still make them!
If you have wide feet, there is no better skate shoe in the world. Not only do they fit, are comfortable, they have lasted more than twice as long as any other skate shoe I have owned.
Thick sole, huge tongue, comfortable, attractive and durable. If you don’t like this shoe then I’m betting there is no pleasing you
You have to love this shoe. The tongues are huge and the stitching lasts longer than three weeks. Anyone who skates and can actually do tricks knows that three weeks is usually the breaking point for any shoe.
Feel super good on the feet, only thing that kinda sucks is the insole doesnt come out. Shoes are G as fuck!
The éS Accel (OG) is so comfortable and it fits true to size 100 percent. The tongue is poofy and keeps your foot locked in place while the straps keep everything in one spot. No tongue sliding around, plus a comfortable, yet snug fit. This leather and suede combination feels slightly stiffer than the all suede ones. Not too stiff, though, so don't be afraid to rock 'em. I have a burgundy color and they're tanks. I skated 4 days in a row with 4-5 hours of skating each day (flip tricks and all around skating) and barely had any wear and tear. Suede rubbing away and slight smoothing out where the sole meets the suede on the toe. One lace ripped and it was the lace at the top, but it was the knot tied and not on the eyelet. Highly recommend these if you want to do impact skating and don't want your feet to hurt after hours of skating!
I have been wearing Es Accel OG shoes exclusively for the past 15 years, even going so far as to buy them on eBay anytime my size popped up when you couldn't purchase them new anymore. I find these one of the most comfortable, durable shoes ever. I wore them for years while I skateboarded, and still wear them today when I'm not able to skate anymore. I often have people point them out while I'm wearing them and strike up conversations about the Es brand and skateboarding stories. Thank you Es for still supporting this wonderful sho3! -JT-
Hands down best shoes I’ve ever skated. I order the Accel Slim Mid Top Wades and while I do like them, I really prefer the OG’sfor skating. It’s super comfortable, and just overall durable, will probably continue solely buying these shoes for as long as ES makes them!
I'm not a skater: I'm a middle-aged mineral physicist who gets around in an Audi S4. I bought a pair of Accel OGs a few years ago, mostly because they're black and understated, which had become very rare in casual footwear (what my generation used to call "sneakers" back in the day), and very reasonably priced. They languished in the back of my closet for a long time. I started wearing them regularly early this year, and I love them. They're probably the most comfortable footwear I've ever owned, and they look great with jeans and a black top. In fact, I wear them so much that it's time for a repurchase (they're still structurally fine, but I'd like a crisp new pair). Thanks éS!
On my MAMA !THE GREATEST SHOW EVER.IN 1999 MY SISTER gave me a pair i was skating some SHAQS at the time I specifically remember her saying " if you wanna skate like the pros Tom penny you need reaI skate shoes".Been in love ever since.the new style skate shoes are to light and tight. accels have so much comfort from the thick toung to the inside padding i am an amputee on my left foot toes and it gives me the protection that helps me to skate to my full potential . I just bought a brown pair last week and I can't tell you how many older heads in cali are hitting me up shooting props. THANK YOU slow tech! It literally amazing how the shoes make me feel when I skate take me to 90s.
Best skate shoes what i have ever had.
The rating stars only let me put five but if I could I would give you 10! These are the most comfortable shoe ever . I love the padding to it and the board feel it’s just what I like ! They’re great for impact in my opinion and for gettn tech . I’ve gone trough 4 pairs of accels and I just ordered some more ! You guys are truly the best company !
These are the most durable, comfortable shoes I have skated in 23years. If you skated in the 90’s you already know the deal, these are the shoes to have, worth every PENNY :)
Love these kicks man wore em as a kid skating now I rock em on the regular best shoes in the game long lasting sole aswell
what can i say about the best shoes ever,they feel like slippers inside and when you are on your board like a tank . thank you guys so much.kelly hart and don brown.
Love these shoes I got pretty wide feet and a lot of skate shoes run narrow so I have a hard time finding shoes for skating and casual wear so I was stoked these classics came back because they have a wider fit most likely going to make a other purchase of these
The Accel has always been the best shoe out there. Timeless design. Timeless durabilty. Everything a shoe should be for skateboarding. Nothing can compare.
Thebest
This 45 year old love's the OG's. Best shoe on the market hands down. Please never stop making them !!!!!!!!!!
Started wearing this shoe over 15 years ago. Seeing Tom Penny andd other pros rockin these in a lot of videos. OG for a reason. Mad comfort and definitely one of the illist shoes ever made!
Have always bought the og accels. Will continue to buy them. Like walking on a cloud.
Always loved these shoes. Glad they're back
I’ve literally bought nearly every pair of éS shoes and the Accel OG’s stand the test of time, I must’ve had 6/7 pairs of these, before éS closed down in 2010/11 and since they have started again I cannot pick a fault with the Accel OG’s, I use them for my skate shoes, Bmx shoes, work shoes and everything else in between and I wouldn’t change them for anything else, all in all, it says it in the name, Accel OG, they are the most OG shoes and they will continue to be for the rest of time, one note to add, the colour of the Brown/Tan/White shoes,the tan in real life is more of a mustardy yellow than a tan colour, however I think they look even better than the picture on here, other than that they are the best shoes I’ve ever worn and I will continue to always wear éS shoes
Best shoes ever ,i only skate accel og.
Sick color way! Es is the dopest skate shoe brand ever!
excellent
Order arrived promptly. Just what I wanted, size exactly right. Thanks
Awesome shoes! Even though I haven't bought them specifically for skateboarding, they are extremely comfortable, have a very good and durable feel and they fir perfectly! Wearing them when it's super hot outside might feel a little too hot, but other than that you will love them. Also the shipping was exemplary, they arrived on point as estimated on the UPS Website. Thank you ES!
Literally the best shoes I've ever had. I wish more manufacturers made high quality shoes in brown suede. Keep it coming ES!
They arrived exactly when UPS estimated, which is a huge plus! They are super comfortable, like the moment I tried them I was super impressed! I sometimes miss the size a bit when I'm in a store shopping for shoes, but these I got them online, first time and they are rock stars!
One word- Classic. Still kills anything on the market today.
Absolutely recommend these shoes. I had a retired skater recommend these to me, who had the Brown Gum version, bought in the 90's. Coming from a non-skater, these are indestructible.
The best shoe I have ever bought!
Killer
Og's got bigger then I remembered. Still love em!
Really great shoe, feels super comfortable when you first put then on. Really durable and good for skating. Plus they just look really sick. Love these shoes!!!
I've been using this shoes from 2010. The most comfortable shoes I've ever used. Thank you
Thrse be sone comfy ass shoes.
I can't really give a review on these shoes because I've only skated them for about two or three weeks, but so far they don't even have any holes. I had another pair of the same shoes but they where black, before I bought these, and they didn't even rip until 3 months after using it, and the insoles are amazing because they absorb impact instead of reppelling it like Nike or Vans insolses. I've been skating for 4 years now since October 28 2002 and I've tried many different skate shoes, but so far these are the best skate shoes I've ever used. If you want to see me Ollie down a big gap with these shoes go to my Instagram @danieldellsb and look at my 8th to last post.
Great shoes skated them for about a month as usual still no rips or tears just a few scuffs and I've skated the shit out of them!
