Customer Reviews Globe Castro

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.

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.

Super comfortable - Really comfortable shoe, great for cruisin around. Felt a little bigger than my size.

Slippers not tennis shoes - I am hoping to prove helpful to the people who are unsure whether to purchase these in shoe size or a size larger. I went with my instincts and purchased the size that matches my shoes and just so you know, the Globes fit snug. They were not too tight, but had just enough space at the toe. If you need that extra space to make it feel like shoes, order a size larger… just be forewarned that your Globe shoes would be liable to slip off in the back when you walk because of course these shoes don't have laces! If your shoes are tight to start with... order a size larger! If your shoes fit rather well and you would like your Globes to be snug, order in your shoe size. I hope this helps and happy shopping!

Cool Looking Slippers - These are totally cool looking slippers, and they are also very warm and seem well made with a high-quality sole. For me the look beats out the lack of 100% comfort. The issue I have is that the end of the toe-box area of these are very narrow and press in on the sides of my big toes--which is common in some shoe brands in size 14's [in the upper sizes some shoe companies, notably Adidas, seem to just lengthen a 'normal-size' shoe as opposed to making the whole footprint bigger]. I compensate for this by folding down the heel and wearing them like slide-on slippers (since they do slide off while walking anyway as others have mentioned), and hope with wear over time the toe area will stretch out. But they are cool enough to warrant some work...

I love these shoes but the only problem is they start to smell really bad! And my shoes never smell...and trust me have about 30 different pairs of shoes that I wear frequently and none of them have ever smelt that bad. But other than that, two thumbs up!

Great casual slip on! Good on the go shoe you can just slip into. Above average comfort and most definitely above average style. I wear a size 14 but, a 13 fit better. Can’t go wrong with GLOBE!

Great comfort and style; sizes run small - The Castro is super comfortable and stylish. I like wearing with board shorts and no socks. I always wear a size 11, but am size 10 in these - so order them a size smaller than your usual. Even in the 10s, my heel sometimes slips out, but it’s worth the pain for fashionable outdoor slippers!

Viva Castro! I wear a 12 shoe and 11.5 size boot so I ordered these in 12 and they fit great. They don't slip of at the back and aren't too tight or rubbing in any place. My feet are somewhere around a D (medium) so I would say these are not narrow. Great style/look. I wear these around the house mostly when it's cool or cold outside.

It’s good - I like them a lot; quality is good; comfort could be a little better, but overall they are a great product. Thanks!

Decent shoe, not really a slipper - I bought these to replace some similarly modeled slippers. I wanted an outdoor sole, and these were pretty popular and looked cool. They're decent shoes, but they're not really slippers. When I think "slippers," I think "soft and comfortable." These are basically lightweight canvas shoes - there's no padded lining or really any "cush" to them. If I were in the market for that sort of shoe I'd keep them (or exchange them - they really are a half size small)... but I'm going to return them and do some more research.

Overall great shoe... recommended - This shoe really is about a half size small in length. I have narrow heals and like most slipper type shoes the lack of padding in the heel makes it slip more than I'd like. I'll have to go to the store and buy a pad to put in the back to reduce the slippage. However, it's a great looking casual black shoe and extremely comfortable for lounging or chilling out. I recommend this one for the price and style (and the cool box these Castro's come in). 4 stars... 5 if it fit my specific foot like a glove right out of the box.

I just got them and they’re really comfy but my foot slips out of the back and I even got a half size smaller than my normal shoes. Other than my heel slipping it’s a really good shoe.

Comfort and fit was great! I got these for my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. He loved them, said they fit great and were comfortable. The only problem he noticed was that the stitching started to come undone after a few weeks of use. He tied a knot so it won't keep unraveling, because he really likes them. As for Zappos and their shipping process/ customer service, they are wonderful!!! You order something and I swear it's there the next day or day after depending on the time.

I'm a 10 1/2 and from the other reviews I read that you should go a size smaller. I did so but found them to be almost too small. If I would buy them again, I would have bought an 11 instead of a 10. Overall, though, I like the slipper and find they are holding up well when I take the dogs out back in the yard.

Great for male or female - Overall good shoe but not the best for long distance walking/mall walking...not great support. Made durable and have good looks.

Roomy - I normally take a men's 7.5. Because that specific size was not available I purchased Size 8. I was able to wear the slipper comfortably with a sweat sock although my foot was very warm. Great slipper but I wish it had come in Size 7.5.

Runs small! These shoes are exactly what the picture looks like but the shoe size ran about 1/2 size too small.

Good shoe but size problems - I own many brands of shoes and the smallest size I own is 11 1/2 and sometimes they are too small. I got the 12's but they flopped off my feet even when I put on my thickest pair of socks! The 11's are much better. They are quite comfortable and stylish though. (Too bad they don’t have half sizes.)

Comfort in the classroom - When summer ends and school starts my problem begins. I wear open-toed sandals all summer. When school starts and the weather turns I begin wearing heels and other closed toed shoes and my feet are killing me when I get home. A friend told me about the White Mountain's Darlene. I tried hers on at the end of the day and they felt great! I purchased three pair in different colors and I love them. I even wear them when I get home from work. Comphy - These shoes are really comfy and they have great arch support. they have gotten slightly looser than when they first started. I have vans slip ons and they run the same size as those I really like them. I have semi wide feet and they feel just fine

Globe Castro Slipper - I was looking for a different looking slipper with outside sole for my husband & son. They loved them. Both felt that the slipper ran true to size but my husbands was a little tight across his instep but that resolved after several wears.

Excellent, but a little big. I love the way these look, but I wouldn't recommend wearing them to the office. They're a little reminiscent of house slippers once you see them on your feet. Also, they were big on me. I normally wear a 10.5, I purchased a size 10, and they still slip off my heel a decent bit.

Cool lookin - These shoes are super cool. The fur goes all the way down to the toes and makes the top of your feet really comfy. The only downside is that they kind of flop like flip flops.

Wide Heel - These shoes are great looking and go well with everything from jeans to shorts, khakis, sweats, etc. They have a very wide heel, however, and only coming in whole sizes causing a major problem in fitting. If you have a narrow heel and wear a whole size, you're going to find that your true size slips off the heel and a size down is way too small. You can solve the problem (somewhat) by adding heel inserts ($5 at any drug store). Zappos rules.

Nice shoes - These shoes seemed a little tight at first, but they stretch out and fit comfortably after a few days. They do look a little classier than sneakers or skateboard shoes, and are nice for the price.
