01 Description
The Accel FIT builds on over two decades of Accel legacy, refining the skate shoe experience by focusing on one key principle: fit. This next-generation design features the all-new FIT System, providing an almost athletic snugness that enhances control and comfort. When you slip on the Accel FIT, you’ll immediately notice how your foot is securely cradled, reducing any foot slippage or unwanted movement within the shoe. The result? A skate shoe that moves with you seamlessly, providing superior connection to your board.

One of the standout features is the internal bootie construction that wraps around your midfoot and forefoot like a second skin. This internal setup ensures your foot stays locked in place, whether you’re flicking for a trick or carving down the street. The closed-cell foam pods in the tongue and heel conform to your foot, eliminating any empty space and providing a secure hold without needing to tighten your laces excessively. For additional lace protection, you can use the hidden internal lacing loops, keeping your laces from shredding while pulling your foot deeper into the shoe for an even more secure fit.

Durability is key, and the Accel FIT delivers with a triple-stitched Ollie pad in the toe area to withstand constant flip tricks. The reinforced heel with a molded TPU clip adds extra stability for heavy landings, ensuring your heel stays securely seated in the shoe during high-impact moments. Beneath your feet, the full-length EVA midsole combined with a removable EVA insole (with built-in arch support) provides cushioning for long skate sessions, helping keep your feet fresh even after hours of grinding.

The 400 NBS rubber cupsole offers excellent grip and board feel, allowing you to have full control while maintaining longevity. Despite all the added tech, the Accel FIT remains lightweight and streamlined. The upper is made of genuine suede that’s both sturdy and molds to your foot over time, allowing the shoe to break in quickly and offer a perfect fit right out of the box.

With its refined design, superior fit, and performance-driven features, the Accel FIT is the ultimate evolution of the Accel. It’s a skate shoe that feels like an extension of your body, enhancing every flick, grind, and carve with total control.

FAQ

01 Do éS shoes fit true to size?

As they are designed with a medium-width profile, most éS shoes fit true to size with a classic skate fit-secure in the heel with room for natural movement in the forefoot. Models like the Accel and Swift are built on legacy éS lasts, while newer silhouettes may feel more streamlined. If you prefer a tighter performance fit, you can size down ½ size.

02 Are éS shoes good for impact skating?

Yes. Many models were built using STI Energy Foam midsoles, high-rebound insoles, and supportive cupsole construction and we are always developing technologies for the future. These designs originated from the golden era of technical skating and have been refined to handle modern impact demands.

03 Why does éS focus on engineering?

éS was founded to advance skate footwear. In the 90s and 2000s, the brand set the benchmark for technical design - clean silhouettes, smart overlays, better impact protection, and shoes built to progress skateboarding. Today, that same engineering mindset underpins every new model.

04 What materials do éS shoes typically use?

Full-grain leather, suede, synthetic reinforcements, breathable mesh, and high-grip rubber. Materials are selected for the blend of durability, performance, and feel needed for technical skateboarding.

05 How do I choose between éS shoe models?

All éS shoes use cupsole construction, but each model offers a different mix of support, boardfeel and durability. Classic styles like the Accel or Swift are stable and durable. Modern models focus on lighter weight and impact protection, while heritage remasters keep original design DNA. Choose based on whether you want more support or a more responsive feel.

06 What technologies do éS shoes use?

éS shoes use skate-specific construction features for durability, comfort and performance. _x000B_These include cupsole construction, reinforced ollie zones, triple-stitched toe caps, rubberized overlays on high-wear areas, hidden lace-loops, molded EVA or E-Bound foam insoles for impact protection, breathable mesh panels and high-grip rubber outsoles.

07 How durable are éS shoes?

Durability is engineered into the build: reinforced ollie zones, rubber overlays, triple stitching, and high-abrasion materials. Cupsole models provide long-lasting outsole integrity, while selected vulc models use wrapped foxing for wear protection.

08 What makes the Accel an iconic skate shoe?

The Accel is one of the most influential shoes in skateboarding history - known for its clean design, durable cupsole, and balanced boardfeel. It became the standard for technical skating in the mid-to-late 90s and continues to influence modern éS design today.

09 Are éS shoes made for skateboarding?

Yes. Every éS shoe is designed for technical skateboarding, from tread patterns to foam systems to wear zones. éS was founded to push skate footwear design forward, and that engineering-first mindset guides every model we release.

10 Cupsole vs vulcanized - what’s the difference?

Cupsoles offer more support, impact protection and long-lasting stability - central to éS heritage and seen on icons like the Accel and TJ Rogers. Vulc styles deliver immediate boardfeel and flexibility. Both are engineered specifically for technical skateboarding; it comes down to your skating style and preference.

11 Which pros skate or wear éS shoes?

éS has been worn by many of skateboarding’s most influential pros, including Eric Koston, Tom Penny, Chad Muska, Bob Burnquist, Rick McCrank and Ronnie Creager. Later generations included Paul Rodriguez, PJ Ladd, Rodrigo TX and Wade Desarmo. In 2025, éS introduced the TJ Rogers pro model, continuing the brand’s long tradition of supporting elite skateboarders.
