Globe is an Australian skateboarding shoe company that creates great skateboarding shoes with innovative features. Honestly, these top 3 skate shoe companies each make great shoes – it’s hard to rank between these top 3. My favorite is the now outdated Globe CT IV - Chet Thomas signature model, if you can find ‘em. Recently, they’ve come out with models like the Vagrant (looks sweet, with a pre-worn style but built to last), or the Finale (in classic and a more sporty look). Gallaz, skateboarding shoes made for girls and women skateboarders.
