The éS Bedford Mid is an all canvas mid-top with just the right color scheme for all the Creature fiends out there. Lots of padding around the ankle collar and the tongue will keep your feet comfy. The vulcanized soles look amazing in neon green and check that classic éS logo near the eyelets.
This may be another one of the last Vegan skateboard shoes from éS. They are certainly going out with a bang, the Spring 12 line up is banging. Despite having several of shoes to review this month I really want to pick up a set. (You can never have to many skate shoes.)

these are dope.
Hey there… Big recent fan of your blog as of recently. Been thinking though – most of the vegan shoes as of late have been canvas, but as anyone who actually skates knows – canvas isn’t very durable. You should do a piece on making canvas shoes more skateable/durable. Back in the late 90s there were more vegan pros and synthetic leather shoes. Nowadays companies will release “vegan” colorways that are simply canvas – great for walking around but not as good at rubbing up against griptape (which I thought was the point). Any tips on making canvas shoes more durable would be truly rad! Even if all you say is “shoe goo before you wear them.”
vander, that’s exactly what i do. i always shoe goo my shoes before skating them.
Lovely!
