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.

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.

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.

Globes are Great -
I have been searching for quality slippers for quite a while only to find cheap quality and/or poor construction. Within a few minutes after receiving these it was clear to me that I had found a top quality product. This Globe product can serve either as a bedroom type slipper or an outdoor shoe. The construction, quality and comfort are all there. Amazingly the price of these shoes is quite reasonable as well. Needless to say Zappos delivered their usual superlative service which is very much appreciated.

I ordered 2 pairs of these shoes for my son. They look terrific and appeared to be very comfortable. Unfortunately the sizing seemed a little odd. My son normally wears an 11 and is an easy fit. When the 11 arrived, they were huge! More like a 12. So I ordered a 10. When they arrived, they were very small and narrow, my daughter wears a size 9 in womens and they fit her. The shoe seems to be good quality and looked really comfy with a good sole. They also seemed to have a decent amount of support. Just wished they fit a little better. Fortunately ordering with Zappos makes returns easy.

Their great!
These are great. I get complimented on them all the time. I usually wear between 9.5 and 10 in most shoes. I wasn’t sure what to get since these only come in full sizes. I ordered the 9's and they fit perfect. These were my first pair, and I know there will be more.

Flat Out Awesome Shoe/Slipper -
I had been thinkin of getting these for a while and I couldn't decide between these and the DC Villians but the reviews really helped. I also like the styles of the Globe's a lot better. I got the black pinstripe ones and I flat out love them. I can't take them off. I've been wearing them around the house and I just wore them outside last night and they were perfect. They take a few days to break in and get nice and comfy but after that just an amazing feel. They also look great with jeans. I would definitely recommend these. And as always Zappos gave me amazing service with a fast shipping upgrade the next day...

Very nice -
So I ordered these shoes from another site, and believe me when I say that it was a "journey". So after realizing that I should have just come to Zappos, I put my order in and not only did they give a good shipping date but they moved up the date for me. I'm impressed.

Wow...Zappos and this shoe rock!
I normally wear an 11.5 in Etnies and Vans, but after reading reviews I ordered these in 11s. So far they are very comfy and fit perfectly. Zappos service/delivery is amazing! I ordered them yesterday at 3pm and the UPS guy just dropped them off at 1pm today!! Thanks Zappos!

Easy shoe -
Very easy to slip on and more durable than a slipper. Very comfortable and the styling is very attractive and unique.

Comfortable and stylish!
This is my second pair of Globe Castro's. I primarily bought them to run around the house as a heavier slipper, but do wear them out occasionally. They are extremely comfortable and I receive many compliments on them. The only negative thing I would mention is they do have a tendency to slip when hurrying up stairs or running.

I purchased these on Sunday and they were on my porch when I got home from work on Monday! And I wore them to work on Tuesday. I bought these in black, as I needed a new pair of comfortable black flats. They're very simple--will go with everything. The insides are SO soft. I walk a lot at work and they are very comfortable. No break-in period needed with these. I bought my usual dress shoe size & they fit perfectly.

Good slippers -
These are comfortable, good-looking slippers. I don't wear them out of the house, but I sure like them for inside. They fit well and are pretty swanky. One caveat: The tag for the shoes is on the inside of the shoe, just below my inside ankle. I think that's a terrible place for the tag, as it always flops out when I'm wearing them. Nothing scissors can't handle, but Globe, next time, put it on the tongue like everyone else. Thanks.
