Product Information
Full details
The Globe Dover II is an ideal choice for skateboarders and casual wearers who appreciate a refined, minimalist aesthetic inspired by the classic Australian Chelsea boot. It offers a perfect balance of functional skate performance and sophisticated daily style, featuring a durable leather construction and impact-absorbing technology. While these shoes provide excellent support and ease of entry, potential users should note that the slip-on design requires a firm break-in period to reach maximum comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing, though the leather material will stretch slightly to contour to your foot over time.
Can I use these for heavy skateboarding?
Yes, they feature a vulcanised sole and impact-control insoles specifically designed for skate performance.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is durable, but it is not explicitly waterproof; it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray for use in wet conditions.
How do I maintain the elastic panels?
Avoid overstretching the elastic. When putting the shoe on, pull from the leather tabs rather than just the fabric panels.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Shockbed insoles can be removed if you need to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Use a shoehorn initially to avoid damaging the heel counter and to help the leather adapt to your foot size.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the bottom of the Super-V outsole with a stiff brush to remove dust and debris that can impede traction.
Leather appearing dry or scuffed
Apply a high-quality neutral leather conditioner or wax to restore moisture and buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Globe Dover II shoes last, keep these care tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather upper. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild leather soap, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Break-in: As these feature real leather, allow for a few days of consistent wear to soften the materials around the elastic gore and heel.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving leather products in hot cars, as extreme heat can degrade the adhesive on the vulcanised sole.
- Compatibility: These shoes pair best with mid-weight denim or chino pants to complement the sleek, low-profile silhouette.
