All of the Globe series based on the Chet Thomas IV and Vs have been, and will continue to be, my favorite shoes of all time. I absolutely LOVE the style of them, and the comfort I have found is second to none. Maybe if you need orthopedic shoes or have some kind of medical foot issues, then these wouldn't be on that level of comfort. But for those just looking for a nice and normal pair of kicks, these are the best you can find. The wrap around connected tongue is just... oh my god, so comfortable. Not to mention I don't like having to tie my shoes, and on top of that, my personal feel is that the normal bow tie laces left out look gross. So I love just leaving the excess laces on the tongue. The insides are wide just how I like them, but maybe you wouldn't like that. I know a lot of people don't like wide shoes when they skate, I preferred it immensely though. I don't really skate anymore, but for a while I was pretty good, and I always used these style of shoes or DVS's. Typically though, they don't last long on the grip tape, so keep that in mind. I definitely prefer to use these as walking shoes, because skating in them ruins them so fast, and I love them too much.<br /><br />All in all, shoes are very subjective, so keep that in mind when using reviews to buy shoes. However, I would recommend these to anyone. In fact, I'm pretty sure everyone who knows me is annoyed because I'm always like &#34;no really, just put your foot in my shoe. It's amazing.&#34; hahahaha
