Customer Reviews Globe Castro

Great style, but I didn't like the slipping off the heel, or the feel of the arch.

Great style, but thats all! Fits wide. Sole too stiff and pulls slipper off at heel when walking. Fits small in length.

Not as nice as expected. Not really warm but do work for short trips outside and keeping feet from being to cold. Will look for a second pair that have a little more warmth to them.

I thought these would be a nice slipper but they are not a slipper. They are shoes. They have a hard sole and I did not find them very comfortable. The size also ran small by about one size. I wear an 11 and these felt like 10s. I like the looks of them.

Poor quality. I bought these as an around the house casual shoe/slipper. For that purpose they fit the bill. They're comfortable. easy to slip on, got a little style to them, etc. Overall I was pleased. However, I look down at my feet today to find that the stitching that connect the tongue of the shoe to the side has totally come undone on my right shoe. After less than two months! Heck I don't even know if I've worn these outside! Just around the house at the end of the day and already they're coming apart! Lame! I wouldn't recommend.

I am not super happy about these shoes. They are somewhat bigger than I was expecting and they kind of feel and look more like slippers than shoes, due to the puffiness caused by the style of stitching. This is more apparent in some colors/styles than others.

I have purchased 4 different pair of Globes just for the style and comfort over the past year and a half. I would normally give this shoe 5 Stars, but I have worn these only one day and the stitching on shoes has already come apart. I would exchange them but this was the last pair in my size. First, the side of the left shoe started unraveling and I sewed it back together myself. Then, that same evening, the right shoe started to unravel. Now, I have to sew it up myself the best I can. I couldn't believe it! So, I have to give this shoe 3 Stars instead of 5 because of the poor quality of the stitching by Globe. Globe needs to review the quality of their threads and make sure they stay in place, especially after only one day of wear. This situation is uncommon and ridiculous. Otherwise, I love the shoes.

I bought a pair but am returning them. They are uncomfortably hot for just wearing around the house, for me anyway. Seemed like reasonably nice quality. Most folks seem to love them, though.

I bought 2 pair for my sons for Christmas, one black size 14, and one white size 15,the size 14 were actually a slight bit longer that the 15\'s. My son wears a 13 1/2 and the 14\'s just fit him. My son that wears a 15 couldnt get his foot into the 15\'s. Are these seconds?

The shoe is stylish enough and very comfortable, but the stitching on the first pair that I ordered split after 5 or 6 days of light use, and, after Zappos handled the situation and sent me a new pair, the same exact thing happened to the replacement pair. I don't have fat feet, and I didn't treat the shoes badly, the stitching just appears to be faulty on some of them. On the other hand, the DC Villain offers essentially the same shoe, and I've beat up my DC Villains in the past year and a half and I've never had a problem with them.

Not Really Slippers - I bought these because they were ranked highest in the slipper category by popularity. Unfortunately I don't think these are really slippers. The sole is very heavy and thick. The sides and uppers are rigid. They felt more like casual shoes than easy wearing slippers that I would wear constantly around the house.

Too small - I appreciated everything about the shoe... but it’s just about half an inch too small in the size 15... They should increase the size of the 15's about a half an inch.

Globe Castro - Cool look. Soft inside, but is too small. At least a full size too small. I actually think that the manufacturer mis-labeled. I bought both a 13 and a 14 and they are exactly the same size.

Castros are CLASSIC - The Globe Castros are an instant classic as far as design goes. The shoe provides a new twist to the average slip on shoe produced by other shoe companies. Aside from the unique, but attractive design, the shoe's sizing seems to be a problem. A half size smaller than what is supposed to be. I wear a 12, but the 12 felt a half size too small. Aside from the size, the durability of the shoe is a little questionable. The sole wears fast and the top leather cracks fast.

Great looking shoe for a certain type of person. These things are like slippers to me. I also wish they came in half sizes. I believe the brand is a skater shoe company, so they probably are supposed to be floppin' around on me. By the way, Zappos.com is the best company around these days! No joke.

Globe Castro Slipper - While we chose this slipper for it's rubber sole, it does not run true to size. The 15's we ordered are more like a 13 in size. The box they came in however, is pretty cool; styled like a cigar box.

Good and bad - I bought the blue ones. They look completely sick, and are totally comfortable. You may have seen a few reviews talking about the top stitching coming undone. I'm sad to report this is 100% true, in my case. I managed to MacGyver up a solution, and it appears to be holding, but you know...my checkered Vans are indestructible. Globe really should address this design problem, because not everyone out there likes to play emergency cobbler.

Globe Castro - I got these shoes, and while they were a little snug (the 8s were much too large so I got a 7) they were perfect, very comfortable. However less than a month after buying them, the top completely ripped near the stitching. Maybe it's just the shoe, or the fact that they had added pressure due to them being a bit tight. Either way, the material there is very thin, so if you find yourself fitting maybe *too* snuggly into them, I suggest going up a size, especially if you plan on being relatively active in them (I only wore them to and from class and they still ripped). Otherwise, they look and feel great and I still wear them regardless of them being broken.

Globe Castro - I ordered these shoes twice. I usually wear an 8.5, so the first time I got an 8 and they were too tight from all the padding. I wore them around my apartment a few times, but they cramped my toes too much. I reordered a 9, and they fit better initially - at least my toes weren't smushed, so I kept them. But after a few short wearings, they have expanded a lot - especially around the ankle which makes them difficult to keep on and it's annoying. I am a girl, and my feet aren't very... girthy? I dunno, I have slender feet, so I need tighter shoes. But these are men's shoes, so I am sure they are of normal tightness for thicker men’s feet. They are more like slippers, which even though they are kinda supposed to look like slippers, I wanted them to feel like shoes - you know? If you're the kind of person who wears thicker socks, then I don't think the stretching would be much of a problem. But I prefer to go without socks, or wear thinner dress socks when I do. I don't know if I'd have been better off keeping the 8s and hoped for them to stretch out. I wish they had half sizes.

Castro - I love the Castro, it’s an amazing summer time shoe and goes great with shorts or long pants (including jeans). Has a surprising amount of support for being a flat bottomed shoe.

Globe Castro. Beware - These shoes, aesthetically, are awesome. They are pretty comfortable too. I have the Castro Tweed and it came apart on me twice. I had to return it once and the second pair came apart again. Luckily I liked the shoe enough to super glue it. I had to super glue all 4 "corners" where the thread from the toe meets the rest of the shoe. Either way, at least the tweed ones are VERY poorly made.
