The first pair was worth buying the second pair and they will likely lead to the purchase of the third. Thank you Globe for making good shoes @$$ and as long as you keep up the quality unlike most brands who start well and build a reputation only to slowly but surly lose their fans for trying Keeping an amazing quality product while using Crapeir and Crape Naturals, so save up a few bucks and reap the rewards as your fan base slowly creeps away. Stay true to where you started and you will reap the rewards of being a loyal fan to the end.
