trans-em or accel

[Dookie416]

emerica trans-em (http://www.buyskateshoes.com/catalog/detail/XDx5T) or es accel (http://www.buyskateshoes.com/catalog/detail/Ven8R)?

Which one is more comfortable, skates better, has longer-lasting grip, lasts longer in general, etc? I've had accels, and I liked them, and I'm basically wondering if the trans-ems are better. Also, do the trans-ems have more or less boardfeel than the accels?

Thanks, Mike.

I think you answered your own question when you pulled out an old post by me, and quoted it in another thread. You know what i mean, brotha?

how is the grip?

Accels (on sale?)
Emerica are copycats.

You can never go wrong with accels, but they look a lot alike and I'm betting they probably are quite similar to skate.

Accels. Absolute yes.

ive tried accels, but i had holes in my sole after less than 2 months, i mean, i know its good, but i've had better. and i'm not sure if it was because i was skating black magic, i mean now i have jessup so i dont know if my grip will last longer or not, mainly why im asking this. i have the etnies bastiens they are really good, less boardfeel than accels, and idk how they skate. its like im ordering new shoes really soon, so i wanna know what to get, either trans-ems or accels.

also, how are the lakai marianos. good grip? long lasting?

Lakais have never dissappointed me.

its all sole tech, so its the exact same material. and theyre very similar shoes. the trans em is basically the emerica accel.

Get some no skools

I don't think I'm going to get another pair of Accels anytime soon. They're horrible when it's cold outside.

[Polaris]

ive had both.
get the accels,for sure.

the trans-em's insoles bottom out quick,and mine only lasted about a month. not that long. my accels were incredible,lasted me 2 1/2 months. thats really long for me,ha.grip lasts awhile too. its funny tho cuz out of the emericas ive had the bottom seemed to give out pretty fast.not to mention heel bruises once the g2 wore out.
so...
go with the accels

[McJesus]

Get some vox strubings.
