Globe Encore Review

Globe Encore

i bought these shoes specifically for boarding and was not disappointed.
Comfort. The comfort of these shoes even though they look minimal is spectacular, the padding in the in sole is amazing u feel very little in the way of impact when doing tricks on your board and i have yet to get a blister wearing these for hours on end boarding. The material used all around is comfortable really i cant say how comfortable these shoes are dont let the minimalist look trick you into thinking these shoes are not comfortable. so comfort rating is a 5
Style. well they only had one design when i bought them, i have seen a couple other colors but overall they are a minimalist design more for performance then to catch the eye. They do match with almost any type of dress wether its pants or shorts in any color so that’s a bonus but really they are a minimalist design kind of plain so the style rating is a 3.
Durability. This is where these shoes thrive they are top notch with durability and performance. They may look cheap but they are a ferrari in a kia body pretty much lol i found the durability of these shoes to surprise me because i kind of bought them expecting them to not last me long but i still have them and they are still in good working shape. Iv had to replace the laces due to grip tape wrecking the originals but hey lol, the performance of these shoes are perfect for a skateboarder or if you just want a comfortable pair of shoes to walk in these would be a great pair especially for the cost. Durability rating is a 5+
Price. When i seen the cost of these shoes i took the look of them into account and thought yeah they are prolly crappy n dont really have any style to them no wonder they are so cheap, but with the performance and comfort and durability these shoes could cost more then they do and i would easily buy them again for a boarding shoe i paid 55$ (on sale) i believe they are 65$ on the globe website and they are running a fathers day 25% off sale so you maybe able to get them for dirt cheap right now, if i was to suggest one shoe for under 70$ or boarders these would be them. the price rating i am giving a 5 as i still have these shoes in good working order after abusing them so i would suggest them to anyone who skates daily n doesnt want to have to buy a new pair of shoes every single month.
overall 4.5
price 5
durability 5
style 3
comfort 5
