Good Points
Very Stylish and a clean design.
Bad Points
The bottom soles tear pretty quickly especially the toe area more than the heel and middle sole area on the bottom of the skate shoe.
General Comments
I've had one pair of ES Accels in grey/black leather. They last about a month and a half before they completely tear to the bottom of your feet, but it truly depends the strength of your grip tape, how much you skate, how good you are, your skating techniques, etc. But that's pretty much the estimate of how long they lasted me for. The accel skate shoe is a skating classic and very well put together. These are very comfy and easy to adapt/get used to in every aspect. They are very light, and the material used is really flexible and strong so its good for all around skating, you name it flip tricks, ollie variations, board feel, it pretty much owns it all. And to top it all off these shoes aren't very expensive! I got them in like 50-60 range but that isn't cheap or expensive but in the middle, highly recommended for great long lasting comfy reliable skate shoes.
