I won't be buying my Globe shoes from stores at malls since finding out about Zappos.com. Stores always disappointed me, never having a full selection. Zappos is like a dream come true: total selection, reasonable price, no shipping costs, next day I receive my shoe order. I've told quite a few people about this. I'm completely satisfied with Zappos. I wish they sold everything I needed: food, clothes, cars, you name it! Keep up the good work!

I like this shoe. I have them in the Tweed. At first, I thought that the size was a little small, but once I got them worn in, they fit great. However, they still aren\'t a shoe I wear for walking long distances. These shoes have a distinctive style that I\'ve been complimented on. The inner is perfect for a northern California winter - soft and warm. I would recommend buying these shoes, but not for everyday use.

This is my second pair of Zappos. My daughter bought me the first pair. I was really pleased. Recently after hip replacement surgery, I needed a good-looking quality shoe that I could slip on with out compromising my hip. My new Zappos were the perfect match.

I needed a pair of slippers that were comfortable and had enough room for insoles. The last pair of slippers I purchased had thin rubber soles and wore out in six months. These Castro Slippers have substantial soles and are comfortable.

These shoes or moccasins or whatever you want to call them, are utterly fantastic. I just ordered my 3rd pair & I've been ordering from Zappos for about 3 years, so these shoes really last. They are incredibly comfortable, great for all seasons; good traction during the winter. I've worn these shoes to work, where I'm on my feet for hours at a time & let me tell you, no track/running shoe competes with these. Great for both male & female, great for various occasions & they go with many outfits! The only negative thing I have to say is, they tend to get smelly rather quickly. But that's nothing a little odor eaters or fabric sheets can't hide. I highly recommend these shoes!

My boyfriend owns two pairs of these and loves them. They look great on and are easy to get on, just slip right in them. He can wear them with about anything.

These shoes are my son's favorite; however, there is a design flaw in the stitching around the top. I sent back the first pair when they came apart and got a replacement pair. The replacement pair came apart soon after we received them and because my son liked them so much I tried to repair them myself. So far my repair has held up through three washings and a very active 11-year-old. I think Zappos is great!

They are very comfortable slippers. They took a couple of days to break in. A little looser than expected and a little bit heavier than my old slippers. You can feel the quality. I would recommend them.

Bought these shoes for my son who never seems to take them off. He\'d wear them in his sleep if he could. Sizing was accurate, payment was easy, and shipping was fast!

I bought these in white for my 28 year old son, who lives in California. He wears a size 9, and they were true to size. He got them the next day, and he loves them! I also got him the same style in black. Zappo\'s customer service is awesome. I very well could have driven them crazy with my calling them back, changing my mind, wanting to switch shoes on my order, and they were always kind and helpful, never anything but patient and wonderful. Thanks, Zappos!

Just bought my third pair - these shoes are incredible. The look rad and it feels like you\'re walking around in slippers all day.\r\n\r\nThey don\'t run in half-sizes, so I\'m forced to get 11 and break them in (the 12s slip off my feet) - hence the 4 stars on comfort. But once they\'re broken in, they feel great.\r\n\r\nGlobe, please make half sizes!

These are great shoes--IF you can get them to fit, that is. Depending on the brand, sometimes I wear a 13 and sometimes I wear a 14. Based on another review that said these run large, I purchased size 13. But the 13's were so short that I couldn't even stand up in them without hurting my toes. I ordered size 14 after that, and they are so big that I can hardly keep them on as I walk! I feel like a little kid wearing his father's shoes. If these shoes only fit, they'd be fabulous. Sizing is very odd, though.

I own about ten pair of Globes and they are all the same, comfortable, true to fit, stylin and casual. Wear them to the beach or out at night, cool, casual, and classy. They are the shoes I have been looking for and I'm a complete loyalist now. These and other Globes are the absolute best in comfort and casual style.

Ok, I have had my eyes on these loafers for a long time, and even bought a pair for a friend of mine a couple years back. Well, I just got mine today, and I am EXTREMELY disappointed. They are just too small. I wear a 15 (the largest size these come in) and it's WAY too small! Opening the box I knew they weren't going to work, but I had gone this far; I needed to at least try. After almost breaking my finger trying to get them on, they went back into the box. So heads up, these shoes run a size smaller.

I love the service from Zappos. The shoes come fast, and they can be returned so easily. We looked all over town for Globe shoes, and there they were only a click away.

Wow - If I could wear any pair of shoes for the rest of my life, I would wear Globe Castros. They go good with any outfit (nice suit, jeans and t shirt, shorts, etc). They're comfortable and stylish. I have 4 pairs (black/G Chord, Tweed, earth/military, and grey/light grey stripe) and I don’t even wear my tennis shoes anymore.

My boyfriend likes them - Bought these for my boyfriend for his birthday (he's 23) and well, he's currently wearing them. They were supposed to be so he can go outside in the morning, but I catch him wearing them like regular shoes. I think it was a good deal.

Not what I expected - These shoes were not comfortable, and when I walk my heel comes out very easily. Plus I thought they looked very narrow and weird on my feet.

Very Cool Shoes - This is my second pair of Castros. I had the tan ones, now the perf white leather. The white ones are nice, because I wear them out to bars and clubs, and it looks like I have on nice shoes. They are super comfortable, but they still have the skate sole, which is nice if you want to wear them around town (or skate!). The only complaint I would have is that they slide off my heel when I walk, but someone with a wider heel probably wouldn't have that problem.
