Product Information

Full details

The Globe Dover II is an adult skate shoe designed for men who want the aesthetic of a classic Australian Chelsea boot without sacrificing performance. It offers a perfect balance of impact protection and board feel, making it an ideal choice for both daily casual wear and skate sessions. While its leather construction provides excellent durability, users should note that the slip-on design requires a specific break-in period to ensure a snug, secure fit around the ankle.

FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the leather upper offers some protection, they are not fully waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or submersion.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Shockbed insoles are removable, allowing you to clean them or replace them with custom orthotics if needed.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The slip-on design is relatively snug; individuals with very wide feet may need to allow for a longer break-in period.

What is the best way to clean the black leather?

Use a damp microfiber cloth for everyday cleaning and a leather-specific cream or conditioner to maintain the black finish.

Do these provide arch support?

The Shockbed insole provides standard anatomical support, but those needing high-arch support may prefer adding their own inserts.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight during initial wear

The elastic gore and leather will stretch slightly. Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for short durations until they break in.

Reduced grip on the board

Clean the soles with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris trapped in the S-Trac tread pattern.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Globe Dover II shoes maintain their performance and aesthetic, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Break-in: Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the elastic gore to adjust to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dust. Use a soft brush for the outsole to clear debris from the S-Trac tread.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
  4. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple.
  5. Avoid Submersion: Do not soak the shoes in water, as this can degrade the vulcanised construction and the integrity of the leather.
