Detailed Review
The Globe Encore-2 Dark Oak/Sulphur skate shoes are designed for those who appreciate a blend of style and functionality. The durable suede construction ensures your shoes can withstand everyday wear, while the triple-stitched toe cap enhances durability, making them perfect for skating enthusiasts. The lace-up closure is not only practical, allowing for a customizable fit, but also contributes to the shoe's sleek appearance.
One standout feature of the Encore-2 is the breathable mesh lining, which promotes airflow and keeps your feet cool during long skate sessions. This thoughtful inclusion addresses a common concern among skaters—foot overheating. As a bonus, the rubber sole offers excellent grip and traction, enhancing your control on the board.
In terms of design, the dark oak and sulphur color combination gives these shoes a trendy look that complements casual outfits seamlessly. However, if you are someone who enjoys vibrant colors, you may find the limited palette somewhat restrictive.

Awesome shoes.
These shoes are great. So comfortable
I bought these for my husband and he loves them. The colors are great and he says they are very comfortable.
Excellent shoes for wearing at work and even walking around campus and driving. The first day of wearing it may feel a bit narrow at the toe area where the laces attach in some attachment around the base of the tongue but after the first day of wearing them it feels like it looses up and becomes much more comfortable.I love how the shoes feel and the colors. I swapped out the black laces (Which are really really long) for some shorter black and white laces that look pretty rad with these shoes. I think GLOBE runs a bit smaller than a few of the other skate shoes brand, (in which I got an 8 in their shoes before and always felt the tip of the shoe was too narrow), so I got half size better which fit like I expected it to fit. Perhaps its not that its the shoe is smaller than others its just the tip so I wanted a bit more space for toes up there.Otherwise, definitely worth the $60 I spent for these shoes and will definitely keep buying from GLOBE
Just as expected from Globe
Arrived on time. Look great and they are more comfortable than a cokehead in the whytehouse.
made very well , I usually wear a size 10 to 10 ½ depending on the brand of shoe Fortunately they only had a 10 left and it fits perfect. Maybe a little snug but definitely not uncomfortable. And since I don't tie the shoes anyway a little snug is perfect for me. They are made very well and they are different than any shoe I have ever owned or we venture seen for that matter. First of all they are super comfy with thick cushion like material all the way around the foot.Here it is, its like putting on a sock. Your foot goes into a boot-like shoe inside of a shoe. Its like a sock cushion that is attached to the shoe. I really dig it and i love the idea. Like I said very comfortable. I would say fits as expected and the size is very true. Get em they are the bomb diggity.
