Buy Globe Sabre Skate Charcoal Poison
Appearance:
I spent about an hour looking for a work shoe that was inexpensive, functional, and at least moderately attractive when I stumbled upon these. In fact, I wasn't much impressed by the photo and "settled" on this shoe. I was relieved, however, when I took them out of the box. They don't look bad at all, and certainly look like they cost more than I paid for them. The stitching on the side of the shoe is vaguely reminiscent of ADIDAS, but the shoe is wide enough that I don't feel misplaced, as though I should be running on a soccer field (of course, I wear a wide toe, so your mileage may vary). The only visual disappointment would be the unattractive SR Max logo on the tongue. Then again, as I'll be wearing these for work, my pants will be covering the logo, so it isn't a big deal.
Comfort:
I just got these in today and haven't worn them for an extended period of time. However, my initial impression is that they feel as comfortable and nearly as light as house shoes. I was particularly excited that these came in a wide toe, because it allowed my toes room to wiggle without forcing me to wear shoes that looked like clown shoes.I've worn some work shoes and had to "break them in" before I felt comfortable in them. These felt like heaven as soon as I slipped them on.
Honestly, I'd probably have paid a bit more for these and been equally satisfied. I'll try and update this review after a couple of weeks at work.
UPDATE (3/21/2012):
These bad boys are still kicking and feel great at work. We've had a couple of spills at work and as expected, I didn't slip a bit. I suppose if you wanted to be negative, you could say it makes doing the moon walk a bit difficult, but I don't suspect your manager would like you doing that at work anyways.
Unlike my old work shoes, I don't mind wearing these casually around town.

These shoes are awesome. I love skate shoes same deal with these, they are supper comfortable. Get a pair asap.
These shoes have a very thick sole, and are very comfortable. I bought them for my father since he has a hard time finding shoes with enough padding. They have made his back feel better after long days of standing at work on a concrete floor. They are skate shoes, so they are very durable with at least double stitching everywhere. The toe even has a triple stitching on it. These shoes should last a while since they are put together so well and feel so durable! Great shoe for the price! There is nothing about these shoes to complain about.
Superior Quality!!! Took away ALL my back Pain!! Extremely fast shipping. A must have for any athletic junky, serious about comfort style and durability. What a fantastic company. Globe shoes tend to be 1 to 1 1/2 size smaller than standard. I wear size 12 but needed a 13 1/2 to fit. Will buy again!!! Cannot say enough good things. Wow. And I'm hard to please. Thanks Globe for having pride in your products.

If you are just going for looks you can get decent skateboarding shoes a lot cheaper, even from Globe. However, if you are a serious skateboarder the extra money is worth every penny. They are better made and have more protective features than cheaper ones. Once you find a good skateboarding shoe you stick with it so these were a great find at a great price. Local skateboarding shops seem to always be out of these so they must be really popular. So it is really great that Amazon carries these.
These Globes are by far the best shoe I have ever put on my feet!! Really!! Padding for days. No tongue to move around. It's all one piece. At first I had a bit of an issue putting them on but once you break them in and get the hand of it you just can not believe this shoe!! Amazing. Already looking at another pair by them!! Buy them!
i've had these shoes before and they are the best shoes i've ever worn. i have foot problems and the shoes have a built-in sock of sorts that gives me a great deal of comfort. thanks Globe and thanks Amazon. on another note, i hear that Globe is shutting down their operations and stopping their productions, it makes me very sad to see them go. thanks again GLOBE shoe Co. and AMAZON for your services and your products.

this is the second time my hubby has bought these exact shoes. they are comfortable and supportive. he is very particular about his feet and comfort, so for him to get these twice - that really says something.
These are great for hardcore skateboarding. I buy a new pair everytime one finally wears out. I have been wearing the Globe Sabres exclusively for about 2 years now. Highly recommend. Comfortable and stable.
