Awesome!
I bought my first pair of the globe focus 4 years ago. I’m still wearing them. I’m on my feet 12 hrs a day at work and these shoes are the only ones that I don't have to worry about taking a break for my feet's sake. I recommend these to anyone who wants comfort, style, and durability in a good pair of shoes.

Great Buy!!!
I bought these shoes for my son's b-day and he absolutely loved them. He said that he was glad that I got a size larger than he actually wears because they do fit very snuggly, so I would recommend that everyone do the same. Other than that, these shoes great, comfortable, and stylish!

Great shoes -
I love the look of these shoes! I just got them today. I made the mistake of ordering them in my size. ANYONE BUYING THESE SHOES SHOULD ORDER A SIZE LARGER. Don’t make my mistake. I've had them for about 15 minutes and already love them. They are starting to break in and are very comfortable. They feel a little bit small, but they are much roomier than you would think. They’ll probably feel better after a few more hours. Anyway, love the shoes and after I exchanged these for a bigger size, they brought it to me the NEXT DAY! I love Zappos! I’ll never get shoes anywhere else!

Ultimate Comfort!
Old school styling reminiscent of Nike's of my youth with the thick padded tongue and extreme comfort. What more could you ask for. Not the most durable shoe, the soles only last 4-6 months, but, I'm a heavy guy and on my feet for 10 hrs a day and my feet feel great! And, I have bad feet! These are without a doubt, the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

Way Cool-
My son picked these shoes based on the graphics and the red sole. I thought they were the coolest shoes he has picked out so far. They fit him well and he skates in the all the time. I liked them so much that I got a pair of Globes as well (only cooler looking :) They are stiffer than I’m use to, but hey, it’s a skating shoe and I like the comments I get while wearing them. I would buy them again

Grant Globes -
This shoe was a gift for my son - we had to make an exchange for a bigger size simply because the shoe is very padded and ran tighter than he wanted.

Globe Focus: white leather -
WARNING: high arches. If you are a usual skater, these are one of the best shoes you can get. The upper isn’t amazingly strong, but after broken in, the leather is grippy. The sole is very strong; in fact, it might last skaters a year or more. Just apply shoe goo when needed, and you can probably keep the shoe wearable for more than a year. The board feel is ok, and the shock absorption isn’t bad, I wouldn’t recommend anything bigger than a 10 stair though (unless you want bruises). They are cool as well (temperature wise). Just pick your material and buy them (if you can find them on sale, don’t even hesitate to buy them, but buy them from here, you can’t go wrong with free overnight shipping).

Shoes are great but you need a size larger. Zappos is the best when it comes to customer service and free shipping both ways! Really tight fit. The shoes are really tight feeling.

I got the leather checkered ones. I think these shoes are good for skating. I skate 3-5 hours daily. These lasted me 3 months. Under the leather toe cap is rubber/plastic cap this makes it durable. Has no ollie pattern. Good foot protection.
