The Encore is a great skate shoe, stiff foot bed, heel gel, low arch support, toe box is strong, good grip, comfortable, stylish. Break them in and the foot bed is compliant with good board feel. If you wear Vans or Chucks, the arch support is similar to those but far more comfortable. This is my sixth pair of Encores and they have yet to fail me in performance and looks. Zappos gets them to you quick!

I always wear skate shoes and Globe never disappoints. Best pair of shoes I have had in a while.

Cool Shoe - Bought this for my son, he said it was just a little too small. I am not sure if maybe his foot has grown or if the shoe runs 1/2 size small. Other than that, he loves the style.

These Shoes Are Great - Encore's are the most comfortable skate shoes I have ever owned. They break in really quick and have awesome board feel. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who wants very comfy shoes that are great skate shoes also.

Nice looking shoes. Runs a size big so we will hold onto them until his feet grow a little more.

The size and width are perfect. The look and quality is stylish and tough. They have a classic look to them which I love. The only thing that really lacks is the padding and arch support. If you are at a concert or standing/moshing for a few hours. Your feet get tired due to the lack padding/cushion. Same goes for bmx and skating for hours. For chill shoes they would be great. Buy them for the style and you will be happy.

Like most skate shoes, these have a stiff footbed and padded walls. Not much in the way of arch support, but if you know what you're getting when buying this type of shoe, you'll absolutely love this shoe. It looks great!

A very nice shoe, a very well made shoe. True to size. Very few size 14 shoes are available, this one is available in a 14. Can't go wrong! Good price.

I needed a pair of brown shoes in my lineup. I bought these because they are the best looking brown shoes Zappos offers. They are really comfortable and have quickly become one of my favorite shoes to wear.

Got these for my fiance and he loves them. He wears them just to lounge around and even for working out. They have some stretch in the fabric so they are really comfortable and provide maximum mobility. Plus the color and design are hot!
