FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Globe Encore-2 generally fits according to standard UK sizing for adult trainers.
Can I use these for heavy-duty sports?
While they are excellent for skateboarding and casual wear, they are not specifically designed for high-impact sports like professional running or basketball.
How do I prevent the suede from fading?
Keep the shoes out of prolonged direct sunlight and use a suede-specific protective spray to help repel moisture and dirt.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are designed for integrated support; removing them may alter the fit and performance intended by the manufacturer.
Can these shoes be worn in the winter?
They are suitable for dry winter days, but the suede is not waterproof, so they are not recommended for heavy snow or slush.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too stiff out of the box
Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the material to flex and conform to your foot shape gradually.
Surface dirt on the suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the suede in one direction to lift off loose debris.
Material getting wet
Stuff the shoes with newspaper and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure your UK size matches your standard trainer measurements. As these are primarily suede, avoid exposing them to heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the texture. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, utilize a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated cleaner. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as these can compromise the glue and material quality.
