When I bought it, I was worried that they would not fit. Not only do they fit but they feel amazing which is exactly what I was looking for in a skateboard shoe. They look amazing right away and fit pretty well, I have to lace them differently but usually I have to so it's not a problem. The insoles are pretty good for most riders, if you're a lighter person I replace them with what I usually use and I do anyway (which I think most people who ride on skates do too) . In terms of durability, they are well preserved and still fairly new. I've had them for what seems like a month and they are still holding up and holding up like they were out of the box and I ride almost every day weather permitting. This is my pick and they replaced my last pair of skateboard shoes. I am definitely sticking with the Globe when shopping for my next pair of shoes.
