FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the triple-stitched construction and S-TRAC outsole are specifically designed to handle the impact and friction associated with skateboarding.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as the moisture can damage the suede upper and the vulcanised sole integrity.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, the Globe Encore-2 follows standard UK sizing conventions. If you prefer a looser fit or use custom orthotics, consider sizing up by half a size.
How do I maintain the suede texture?
Use a soft-bristled brush regularly to keep the suede nap lifted and free of dust.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the Shockbed insole can be removed, allowing you to clean it separately or replace it with custom inserts if needed.
Troubleshooting
Sole losing grip
Clean the bottom of the outsole with a damp brush to remove accumulated dirt or debris trapped in the S-TRAC spikes.
Suede becoming discoloured
Use a suede eraser to gently buff away surface stains and follow up with a suede-specific revitalizing spray.
Stiff initial fit
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors over a few days to allow the vulcanised rubber and materials to flex and conform to your foot shape.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Encore-2 is made of suede, proper care is essential to extend its lifespan. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede and the adhesive in the vulcanised sole. For maintenance, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. If stains occur, use a specialized suede cleaner rather than standard soaps. To ensure a comfortable fit, lace the shoes snugly but allow enough room for the foot to expand naturally throughout the day. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
