Lacing up with the protected eyelets two pulled right out. Trimmed and glued them back in place. Another came loose from walking.
First time riding the cup sole adhesive began to fail. Other than that very comfy and precise.

2 weeks of skating and the stiching rips on the purple swift 1.5

I was asked to give a picture so I skated them. They just aren’t my shoe . They might be your shoe , if you have skinny feet. After one skate session I noticed I just have big wide feet, the sides of my feet push the waist of the shoe outward so much it hangs over the brown sole at the bottom. It visibly looks just off, some people said the make my feet look funny. I didn’t care, I just cared if the skated decent after one session I could say my feet hurt along the sides but honestly they just might not be my shoe. I will skate them regardless of the pain , because I don’t think they will last a 2 weeks if I skate everyday. Well here’s a picture of an hour and how they look on the side.
I’m not here to talk bad about the es shoes. I bought a different set of es shoes one nine sum thing not the 1st time trying different es shoes. Some shoes are just made for different people and that’s okay.
I’d still give it 5 stars I like the hidden shoe lace and I had fun skating in them. I’m just big foot :/. I’ll try again with a different es shoes model I ordered yesterday. Talk to ya Later come skate outside. Peace

If your skateboarding a lot and you blow out shoes like me I couldn’t care less about the color of the shoe. I just care that it functions the way I expect them too and if they make me skate better that’s cool. I think they are fresh slick light weight shoe that helps me perform the way I want to because they make me feel good on my feet. I like the orange it’s a loud color way . The color makes other people look at my feet and want to buy es products. If you got style you can match the color way with your skateboard. If I wear simple dark blue jeans and a black es shirt the orange shoes perfect for me.. they match my blue flip skateboard. Es is style and functional . They got colorways for every vibe and everybody. Sometimes es shoes bless us with good shoe deals for people like me on a budget who still wants quality shoes but struggle to afford the more expensive pairs .
If your curious I would suggest to go ahead and buy them buy a pair don’t worry about the color way and try a new shoe. You should focus on having fun skateboarding not how others think you look in your fit while skateboarding..
I looke down at my skateboard and feel good because the shoes are comfortable and they make skateboarding fun. Unlike other companies that make me cringe. Try The NEW SWIFT 1.5.
Peace

I was asked to send a picture of The NEW SWIFT 1.5 So I will show you a before because they are still fresh and it’s snowing outside. I will be in Barcelona , I will skate them and when they blow out I will give another review. You can trust me the es shoes are quality . Even when they blow out you. Can still skate them until they fall apart. I really appreciate each shoe. So I skate them until there’s a hole on the bottom underneath your shoe. That’s as much as it will go. Some people complain when the shoe gets loose and soggy it’s time for a new pair but honestly it’s because you should size it down by a half so they fit snug and when they break in they won’t feel soggy or you don’t have to wear to socks to get the shoe to function.. I like when they feel loose and the holes on the side don’t bother me when they blow out I put shoe goo on them so my socks won’t rip and I skate them till the sole of the shoe underneath gets thin or hole. I can’t fix that so I get one more. I’m a One shoe guy . I appreciate and trust es shoes to perform the way I expect it too. Here’s a picture. I ordered another pair of The NEW SWIFT 1.5 because I loved the face that I have better shoe lace protection. I eventually want to try all the different pairs of es shoes and tell everyone I know about it even if they don’t skate because they make comfy shoes that follows function. Peace

Good shoe, laces are ridiculously long and bulky. Ripped pretty much immediately, even inverting and tucking them in. Bad design in that regard but love how the actual shoe feels

very good shoes had more than 7 pairs, boardfeel is on point, lasting of the shoe is good.
Only bad thing ist the sole comes of because the glue doesnt hold it
this happes with brand new shoes also, if you have luck the sole wont come of.
I had minimum 3 or 4 pairs with this problem
A pair I bought at a skateshop were a disaster to get fixed even with Es Europe involved.

Awesome shoes! Perfect for skating 🫶

The sole is separating from shoes after 1 week of wearing them

Gorgeous! I love all my Es shoes.
