These shoes are great. Probably the most comfortable shoe I've ever had. These shoes make me want to stop wearing Vans because of how durable and comfortable they are. Style of the shoe is awesome. If you're looking for a shoe with a "fat" tongue then these are the shoes for you. Would definitely buy another pair or a pair just like them. You don't have to be a skateboarder to get these. I don't really trick skate anymore, but I've always been a fan of the Accel. The all black Accel is so cool and fashionable, which means they go with any style of clothing, any color, and so on. Umm, just all around great buy. FIT TRUE TO SIZE. Recommend getting them in your most common shoe size if you like them snug and want the shape to stay the same after months of wearing them. If don't care about the shape, then get a half size bigger. Either way the size will still be very comfortable.
