A Globe Skate Shoe Tested for Real Skating
The Globe Surplus is a straightforward answer for anyone searching for a real Globe surplus skate shoe, a utilitarian vulcanized silhouette tested and developed by Globe's own team rather than styled purely for looks.
Features and Materials
- 100% suede upper with a flattened vamp for a sleek, low silhouette
- Shockbed insole for impact control
- Super-V outsole for enhanced grip and board feel
- Reinforced rubber toe cap and extended foxing tape for added protection
- Built from shaved suede and canvas
Who It Is For
This shoe is built for anyone who skates regularly and wants a low profile shoe that can take repeated impact without breaking down, as well as anyone who wants a durable, everyday casual shoe with real skate construction underneath. The Shockbed insole and reinforced toe cap make it a fit for both board time and daily wear around town or the shop.
How to Wear and Break Them In
Vulcanized suede shoes like the Surplus typically soften and mold to your foot after the first several wears, and the reinforced toe cap and foxing tape are built to take the abrasion of regular board contact without wearing through early. Because the upper is suede, use a suede brush to lift dirt and a suede protector spray before heavy use to help it resist scuffing and water spots.
About Globe
Globe started in the mid 1980s in Australia, when Melbourne's Hill brothers, Stephen, Peter, and Matt, built third party brand distribution before creating their own global boardsports brand, beginning with skate and surf shoes in the mid 1990s before expanding into apparel and hardgoods.
Why Buy From Island Water Sports
Island Water Sports has supplied South Florida skaters and surfers since 1978, and we carry Globe because the brand builds shoes tested by real skaters, not just styled for the shelf. Shop the Surplus in store or online and get a shoe built to handle real board time.
