Product Information
Full details
The Globe Dover II skate shoe is designed for adult skateboarders and casual wearers who appreciate a fusion of classic Australian Chelsea boot aesthetics and modern skate functionality. Its primary strength lies in its blend of durable leather construction with specialized impact-protection technology, though potential buyers should note that the slip-on design provides a specific fit profile compared to traditional lace-up skate shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Globe Dover II fits standard UK sizing, though the leather will expand slightly as it breaks in.
Can I use these for professional skateboarding?
Yes, they are designed with high-quality materials, shock absorption, and board-feel technology suitable for skate use.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a dry brush for light dust and a high-quality leather conditioner for regular maintenance.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Shockbed insoles can be removed if you prefer to use custom orthotics or specific performance inserts.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable, they are not classified as waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or water.
Do these provide ankle support?
The design offers moderate structure around the ankle, though it functions more like a low-profile skate shoe than a high-top boot.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping out of the shoe while skating
Ensure you are using the correct size; consider adding a thin, secondary performance insole if the fit remains loose.
Leather appearing scuffed or dull
Use a neutral leather cream or a touch-up polish to restore the original black finish and protect the outer layer.
Grip feels slippery on the board
Check the S-Trac tread for debris or buildup of dust, and wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to restore tackiness.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent impact absorption with Shockbed insole
- Superior board feel and traction via S-Trac tread

Cons

- Limited to specific leather cleaning methods
- Not intended for extreme high-top ankle protection despite boot-like styling
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Globe Dover II is a slip-on design, ensure you select your correct UK size to avoid excessive heel slip. Upon first wear, the leather may feel stiff; however, it will gradually break in and contour to your foot shape over time. To maintain the leather upper, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt and dust after sessions. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the glue bonds and leather quality.
