Globe Fusion SKU #7390004(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Best shoes I've ever owned! In fact, don't buy 'em, that way there's more for me! Globe Fusion 4 life!

These shoes are great. I have a really wide foot & these shoes are super comfy. The ankle support and heel support is amazing (I'm a popper/bboy) and these do the best job at supporting than any other shoe I've tried in the last few years. Only downside is virtually no arch support, but that can be fixed with some quality inserts.

These shoes are great but be warned if you have bought other shoes from globe they may have been a tad bigger despite the same size description. Still nice and comfy though, great for riding.

The only bad thing about these shoes is that they have no tongue. Other than that they look good and feel good but also kinda to puffy, IE: too much on top. So if you like this type of shoe then great but for me I like to be able to have a tongue on my shoe.

Tech, But Feels Plain - These shoes fit very snugly in the toes. I need to stretch mine out in the toe box in order for them to fit me more comfortably. The midsole feels very regular and is not by any means unique or superior to any other brand's midsole designs. The tongue and collar are connected into one piece, which means you'll need your hands to pull them on; the upside to this design is that you won't need to tie your laces tightly in order for your shoes to stay on your feet. I ordered the Black/Cobalt lightning version, which looks like a design that came from the 1980s; I like the design, but would've preferred to have gotten the White/Grey colorway or even the Gears of War one. By the way, don't be fooled by Globe's complicated and excessive description wordings: "TPR ollie reinforcement" means that the ollie area of the shoe should have "Thermal Plastic Rubber" for extra protection. However, in the case of the Fusions, only a miniscule strip lines edge of the ollie area (look closely in the pics where the first lace holes are). "Hidden lacing option" means there should be an alternate lacing system for protecting your laces against rippage. But again, in the case of the Fusions, only first lace holes provide this feature, which by the way doesn't do much. "...Unique combination of breathable mesh, lycra, and Micro P materials" really means that only a small part underneath the tongue has some lycra lined on it. Everywhere else on the shoe's lining material seems to be built just like any other skate shoe. As for "Micro P”, I assume means micro-perforations, but they seem to be more for aesthetics rather than functionality. Only the top of the toe, some on the side, and the very top of the tongue have these perforations. Overall, these shoes are very tech looking, but feel very plain when they're on your feet. I simply wish they really did have more TPR on the toes and that maybe Globe could've featured some type of Gel system in the midsoles for better shock absorbtion.

Globe Fusion in lieu of Globe Focus - Since my favorite Globe Focus shoe (Black/Caramel) is no longer available I decided to try to Fusion. It is as comfortable as my favorites and the look is not the same, but not bad either.

Awesome shoes - When I first opened up these shoes, they looked a bit funky in the cushioning along the tongue of the shoe. And the insoles felt very hard and uncomfortable. BUT! I laced them up and put them on. Looks are very misleading... these are some of the more comfortable skate shoes I have bought. I'm a big guy (6'-0" 240 lbs) and I thought the hard insole might be an issue. Nothing could be further from the truth. The hidden lacing feature is a huge plus.

I bought these shoes as a gift for my son and he said they fit well and were very comfortable. He only wears Globe shoes (as they wear very well) and wondered where I found this shoe. I completely trust Zappos and had no qualms about possibly having to exchange them because of any size issue. Fortunately I didn't have to.

Great shoes! The shoes look great and feel very comfortable. Thank you for the quick shipment for Christmas!
