Detailed Review
The Globe Men's Fusion Skate Shoe excels in providing an outstanding skateboarding experience. The fully padded design ensures comfort, which is essential during long hours of skating. You’ll appreciate the S-Trac sole pattern, which offers excellent grip for quick maneuvers, whether you are performing tricks or just cruising around.
The step-in sock liner is another notable feature, as it not only cushions your feet but also keeps them secure within the shoe. This contributes to overall stability, particularly when landing jumps or engaging in aggressive skating styles. The inclusion of the TPR heel stabilizer further enhances this stability, making it easier to maintain control.
On the practicality side, the shoe is made from a combination of leather and synthetic materials, ensuring durability while still allowing for breathability. Plus, maintenance is straightforward since these shoes can be machine washed—an essential factor for any skater dealing with dust and grime.
In terms of aesthetics, the golden brown color adds a classic touch that pairs well with many outfits, making it versatile enough to wear off the board as well. However, some users have noted a necessary break-in period to achieve the perfect fit, so keep that in mind.

This is probably my 4th pair of this model. I absolutely love this style of shoe. They keep making them and I will keep buying them. The wrap around the ankle that's part of the shoe is really what sets this apart from others. I never have to worry about tying or untying my shoe laces. The build quality is good considering the price. I paid $64 for mine. I've had this pair since June 28th. I'm really hard on my shoes. I've worn this pair almost every day for the past 5 weeks. Some of the stitching is coming undone but the shoe is still comfortable and good to wear. I would recommend these to anyone.
Old school just the way I remember them. Love the fact that my pants don’t drag if you know what I mean.
The box in side the SEALED bag it was sent to us in was wet and a little moldy and the shoes were damp, very mess up we washed um and will keep them but thats messed up the lack of care to ship um like that
Colors and looks are great. They have a good feel to them except they are narrow in toes. Got sores on my pinky toes in just one day. Had to stretch out with a golf ball and the paper from packaging to fit right.
