Product Information
Full details
The Globe Dover II is designed for adult male skaters and casual wearers who appreciate a minimalist aesthetic inspired by the classic Australian Chelsea boot. It provides a perfect balance of board control and everyday comfort, making it an ideal choice for those who value slip-on convenience; however, potential users should note that the leather material requires periodic conditioning to maintain its appearance and longevity.

FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather provides some protection against light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged.
Can I use these for long-distance walking?
They are comfortable for casual wear, but they are designed primarily for skating; for long-distance walking, you may want extra arch support.
How should I clean the black leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use leather-specific products to preserve the material.
Does the Dover II come in half sizes?
Yes, Globe offers various sizes, including half sizes, to ensure a precise fit.
Is the sole replaceable?
The sole is vulcanized to the shoe for durability; it is not designed to be replaced by a cobbler.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The elastic gore allows for some flexibility, but the overall fit is standard for a slim-profile skate shoe.
Troubleshooting
Elastic gore feels loose
Ensure the shoe is the correct size; if the gore loses elasticity over time, use a shoe horn to put them on to avoid overstretching.
Leather looks dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine.
Slipping inside the shoe
Consider adding a thin adhesive insole if you feel your heel lifting, or wear slightly thicker socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Globe Dover II shoes last, keep them away from excessive moisture and extreme heat sources. Since the upper is made of leather, wipe it down with a dry cloth after use to remove surface dust. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. To maintain the grip of the Super-V soles, occasionally brush the tread to remove small rocks or debris. If the insoles become compressed after heavy use, they can be removed and aired out, though they are not designed for frequent washing machine cycles.
