Customer Reviews Globe Castro

Extremely well made, but has no half-sizes. This causes a pretty big problem since there are no laces, and a half size too large will not stay on your foot unless you do not wear socks, or wear extremely coarse and thick socks.Not being ventilated, this means if you wear no socks, you will sweat in the shoe substantially -- or else it will not stay on. :) Sizes run a bit small... so put that together with no half sizes, and you will a) end up with a shoe half a size to big, b) have a shoe half a size too small, or c) by sheer magic your foot is perfect for the shoe. Which it is, is really unknowable until you try.

This is definitely a casual shoe and not a slipper. Not very comfortable if you try to wear without socks and too "clunky" for around the house.

Love the style, just wish I could have tried them on first so I didn't have to send the first ones back, they run a little small. They are stiff at first so they came off my heels on every step, but once they get broken in they fit better.

Very comfortable shoe. Have wide feet and they fit well. The arch area felt different at first but quickly became used to it.

Im 31 and have been wearing Globe for over 10 years. I no longer wear the skate shoe but still enjoy the styles the company offers. These shoes are dope. The first time I order them was in white along with the DC Villains in black. My old man who is 70 liked them so much I ordered a pair for him over the last 2 xmas's (black and tweed). Not only is this a shoe that appeals to the mid aged crowd; Globe has kept it classy enough to get the attention of the blue hairs too!

These shoes are pretty decent and seem well made. They fit about a half to full size smaller than what is stated, but I'm sure they'll stretch a bit after wearing them for a while. Some of the complaints on here about the quality and such are possibly true, but what do you expect for a shoe that is 50 dollars or less...

Ordered first time and exchanged because they came out too big, 2nd smaller number also came a little bigger but kept them - they are just too wide on the heel.

Love the shoes with shorts or jeans. Very casual. Very comfy. Wear on the front of the foot like sandals.

My son wears these slippers at school. He loves the style, and I think they are very cute and comfortable. Had to take a star off because the first pair I bought, after 3 months, the stitching came apart.

These babies caused my fixation with Globe shoes. They were so sleek & comfy I wore them in situations (work) that called for a more heavy duty shoe. Perfect for an around-the-house/casual/lounge slipper.

I thought this slipper would have more arch support. It's probably better than most that are available.

These are probably the most comfortable pair of shoes I've bought. I really love slip-on shoes and these are more durable and offer more support than Vans slip-ons. My one complaint about these is that there is no lip on the back of the shoe to catch your heel to keep them on while walking. When I first got them they were acting like flip flops as I walked which was really annoying. I soon figured out a way to fix this though and as "redneck" as it sounds it works perfectly: To add your own lip to the inside back rim of the shoe to catch your heel, place some weather stripping with adhesive along the edge. It may feel distracting at first but once it's broken in, it works great.

I purchased these for my 15 year old son. My son says they are very comfortable. He wears them to school practically every day. One note: the size runs big, but they do not come in half sizes, so he wears thicker socks to compensate.

Pretty comfy. Probably nearer a shoe than a slipper, but I happily wear them inside. They seem durable. #1 complaint: the back of the shoe cuts into my heel a little bit if I don't wear socks. There's less fluffy padding inside this "slipper" than many other slippers. For this reason I probably won't buy another pair.

The shoe is great but it was just a little larger than it should have been and so it's a little more loose than I'd prefer. Other than that though it's a great shoe.

My boyfriend loved these shoes. He wore them everywhere, but they came apart after like a month. He glued them back together, but it didn't work.

These are really great shoes--very comfortable. They seem to run a little big and can slip in the heel. They\'re also very warm, so better suited to the colder-weather months than the warmer ones. But overall, a great shoe!

Great looking shoe (versatile for either inside/relaxing or outside/dressing up). I bought them as slippers, which was what it seemed I’d be able to use them as, especially looking at the fuzzy material on the inside of the shoe. I know that by looking at the picture, you can tell that the fuzzy material is only on the underside of the tongue, but I assumed that the sides and sole would be of a similar plushness. The sides and sole are just the same as a sneaker or casual shoe, in actuality--I mention this because I’ve found that these shoes feel more comfortable with socks on, which is not something you should need to say for slippers. It’s still a great shoe, but I’d give a word of warning to those thinking they’ll be wearing these exclusively as slippers. Check ‘em out and if there are issues, you will be able to return them as Zappos will always have your back.

These shoes are pretty darn good! Zappos decided to overnight them to me free of charge which turned out to be a wonderful thing. Over spring break my dorm is closed and I would not have been able to get them for 2 weeks because of no mail forwarding. These shoes take a little getting used to but are definitely worth it. They are extremely comfortable. The fabric inside is very soft so at first they slip around like crazy, but that only lasts for a few hours. They do indeed run small. I am very consistently a size 13 and my toes touch the ends of these in normal standing. I think once they are totally broke in though it will be fine. The back ends naturally slip off hence it takes getting used to, but it is simply because the fabric is smooth. Once it wears in it will have more grip. Great shoes overall! They look fantastic too.

Shoes are very comfortable and look good with jeans on! I have 3 different pairs and they're holding up well...they ALL have fit about a half size small, since they come in whole sizes only I'd recommend going up to the next size if you typically where a half size. They'll fit a little snug at first, but after a day or two of wearing them you'll be good to go...would recommend them for sure!

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.

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