Finally Found a Good One! After the last couple of pairs of shoe's that I've owned (feeling a little let down), I'm so glad that I found these! I buy a big shoe, size 14. Despite my feelings about shoe companies not designing shoe versions for big feet, these feel great. They're comfortable when you first put them on in the morning. They're comfortable throughout the day, and when you take them off at the end of the day. Your feet still don't feel tired. The walls of the shoe are thick but not too stiff, and not too soft. The heel has a bunch of padding, and so does the tongue. It's a great shoe! Looks wicked in gray. The pictures on the website don't do this shoe justice. The shape is a little more pointed when you get the pair on your feet. They remind me of what a driving shoe looks like.

Almost skate - Most of my life I've always worn skate shoes and I recently decided I’d like to keep the uncommon skate brand but move to a different type of shoe. The Globe Pulse was just what I was looking for and being the groovy music kinda person I am, the khaki color suited me just right. After a day of breaking them in they were very comfortable but my only criticism would be the elastic holding down the tongue. It's comfier without that and showing off your tongue just looks cooler.

Wow!!! I ordered these shoes yesterday (Thursday) at about 3:30pm and they just got here TODAY at 3pm!!!!! All I can say is WOW!!! These are a very comfortable pair of shoes. They look fantastic and the widths are true to the description! I have pretty wide feet and they don't feel like they will bust out of the sides anytime soon. I'll never order from another online store again! Zappos 20 stars all around! Thanks again for a PERFECT pair of shoes and a superb service!

I have had these shoes for a little while now and I really like them. They are stylish and comfortable. They seem pretty durable and made pretty well. I have been blowing through shoes pretty quickly because I wear casual shoes every day to work. I move around a lot and have been known to destroy shoes in about 2 months. I think these might be durable enough to last longer than the DVS shoes I normally buy.

A great buying experience - First I was disappointed because the all black model was always out of stock in my size. I decided to give in and get the all white model. I am pleased with the how quickly the product arrived and the quality of the shoe, just as if it were in a store, no difference. I'll definitely be buying from Zappos again!

These boots are GORGEOUS. So incredibly comfortable and a nice hybrid of dressy and casual to wear to the office or out on the town. The leather is soft and supple; the sole of the shoe is very soft yet sturdy. They will need a bit of breaking in due to the bottoms being slick, but aside from that, they're simply perfect.

Good purchase. Although, I don't particularly care for the look - my son (20 yrs. old) loves them. They are comfortable and look decent enough to wear out to dinner in place of the puffy skateboard shoes that go untied. Globe quality is usually good - fit is good - I'd pay for them again! As always - THANKS ZAPPOS!

I have had a pair of these in brown for over a year, and they have held up wonderfully. I recently purchased another pair to use as "nursing shoes" and even after 8-10 hours on my feet, running around, they're still comfortable and so are my feet. Often wear skate shoes for the width; these are true-to-size, and VERY durable.

Great casual shoe - I wear a size 14 and I always buy Reefs, but they don't make shoes in size 14 anymore. They only go up to 13 with the exceptions of sandals. So I tried Globes and I love them. Looks great, fits well, and they are comfortable. New fan of Globes.

Brown Ones are real nice - I've always worn skate shoes and recently started looking at the casual styles. This shoe is great. I have the brown model. It looks great with jeans or shorts. People want to know what shoes you’re wearing!!!! Skateboarding style has always been ahead of mainstream style.

I bought the black ones. They look nice but they fit very short. They are about a 3/4 inch off in size. I wear 13 and these are pretty uncomfortable if you tighten the laces. I'll go back to DVS for sure; they fit right.

Can't beat the look of this shoe, clean and slick. However, it offers very little support, sole feels flat and shoe is flimsy. For a shoe with better support and same style/look, go with the DVS Volari.
