I had two pairs in a row start falling apart before I even got to skate in them. It's strange too, because I've been using Emericas for years, and they're amazing quality, despite being owned by the same company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427008059440020646.post-42148944482437091162012-07-03T19:52:22.082-07:002012-07-03T19:52:22.082-07:00i always felt es made the shoes to be skated in. i...i always felt es made the shoes to be skated in. it wasnt style the accel was the best shoe ever. ive owned at least ten pairs and i can stack the shoe boxes to the ceiling. it should been osiris with those wack colorful high topsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427008059440020646.post-87090780209822154902012-02-29T15:48:48.787-08:002012-02-29T15:48:48.787-08:00I still can't believe this.

Personally I believe its a bad choice on his behalf to completely stop business. Es was truly a poineer of a unique approach to skateboarding as was DC or Fallen for example.<br /><br />It's a pitty and I really do still see loads of potential in a company such as ES. I hope it recovers.Havanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678511714559328421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427008059440020646.post-77734541305741254452012-02-09T00:14:15.787-08:002012-02-09T00:14:15.787-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dena Yardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986571181061497347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427008059440020646.post-87722634928950083752011-10-31T15:29:47.117-07:002011-10-31T15:29:47.117-07:00How tragic!!! this is a sin!!!

I remember my es scheme shoes which lasted for a year and a quarter (i kid you not) back when i was practicing for a year how to ollie and kickflip. Those were the best shoes ever. yeah i 've had some bad es's too. But Es is a respected icon of skateboarding and the legacy it leaves is a lesson to all. skater owned, skater loyal, and not no sell-out Nike sb's or whatever lame cookie cutter crap. prioritizing quality over quantity (fashion) just shows their loyalty to REAL skaters!!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289510525328121919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427008059440020646.post-32273737650837559282011-10-25T07:02:42.969-07:002011-10-25T07:02:42.969-07:00Koston's first shoe model was the best!Koston's first shoe model was the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427008059440020646.post-74179166021702175992011-10-13T11:27:11.695-07:002011-10-13T11:27:11.695-07:00I had no idea the company ended, I'll cherish ...I had no idea the company ended, I'll cherish and preserve my beautiful Bobby worrest Es shoes.

I thought the Ecosses would be like that. Still breaking them in. But I hope they feel better soon. I still use ripped up Accels from years back. <br /><br />I have a few flipped out pairs. Will send pics in the future. I really like the Accel. No foot cramps. No pins. No needs.
