Guide Review - Es Accel Plus Skate Shoe Review
The Es Accels are great skate shoes, and the accel plus adds one of these Velcro straps and a super high tech shock absorber in the heel. The Velcro strap, combined with the Accel’s super deep heel / ankle cuff and thick padded tongue mean that these shoes are going to stay on your feet like they are glued on.
The System G2 is a high-tech shock absorbing system developed by the Sole Technology Institute. The STI claims that it is the most advanced shock absorber on the market! It cusions your foot, without making the heel thick and losing board feel - and it lasts a long time.
For drawbacks, the Accel Plus is more narrow than most skate shoes. I personally love wide build of skateboarding shoes, and hate narrow, pointy shoes. So for me, this is a pretty huge drawback – but it’s a personal opinion for sure. The Accel Plus is meant to be a great solid high quality skate shoe. Try them out and see what you think.
