Bear with me on this one...To me eS' make some of the cleanest, fly-est shoes out there. Accel/Accel Plus, K6, Penny 2, Accelerate. I'm sure we'd all agree. But they've produced some of the most hanus shoes EVER in my opinion. www.esfootwear.com/footwear/ some of them are on there. The Murray, The Rideaway, The Cramer, The maccel... They're all freakin' hideous? Surley none of you like them? I just don't get it. I've never known anyone skate or even mention these shoes and yet they do it every year. They'll relaise like 2 phat new kicks and about 5 ugly car accidents of shoes. And the K7, i think it's diplorable. Especially compared to the K6. Anyway. Rant over. What do you lot think?

The Murray are not for skating, and as far as the other shoes go, they're pretty durable. Some people like to compromise durability for skateability. I dunno, I'd rock a pair of the Rideaways. I had a pair of Etnies Cyprus and the éS Vireo a few years back, and they were actually pretty swell.

I agree with you on this one, cheeser. When I saw those shoes, I couldn't help but say what the f***!?!?. The Penny 2's look gangster.

I was thinking that when I was looking through my old CCS the other day. The best shoe companies make some of the ugliest shoes... I would rather skate Payless shoes than some of them.

The Maccels are the Accels hideous younger sibling, no?

I got a pair of the Accel plus with the white and blue i dont think they have em on the site. They last awhile but are pretty stiff. But they look real nice. For those others i dont think i would wear most of em.

The Maccel's don't look that bad... neither do the Cramers. I could definitley see myself sporting the Cramers.

The Koston 7s look like Jordans, PEnny 2's look like Ball shoes, and I thought the murray was ugly...then I got to the rideaway i almost puked.

K7 are supposed to be Reebok G-Units.

And how do you front on these?

This is my second pair of K6 I'm using right now. They look and skate great but they wear down like a Van's slip-on. Don't ever ever skate them after getting a new deck, because they'll be blown in 3 days.

It seems like rideways would be ok without the wierd outsole and color scheme
