Globe Melbek Shoes
Looking for a skate shoe that blends performance with durability? Enter the Globe Melbek Shoes, the latest release that’s dialed in for skating hard and lasting even harder. At Fixion Skate Shop, we’re proud to carry the Globe Melbek as a go-to choice for street, park, and everything in between.
Why the Globe Melbek Shoes Stand Out
The Globe Melbek Shoes are built with real skating in mind. Instead of chasing gimmicks, Globe has focused on features that riders actually feel day after day:
-
Suede upper: The main body of the shoe uses tough, high-quality suede that holds up through scuffs and abrasive wear.
-
Quarter-panel ventilation: Strategic ventilation panels along the sides help airflow, reducing heat and sweat when you’re hopping curbs or blasting transitions.
-
Shockbed™ PU insole: Underfoot comfort is handled by Globe’s Shockbed™ PU insert, giving you impact control on landings without losing board feel.
-
Abrasion-resistant rubber outsole with Super-V tread: The outsole resists wear from griptape and rough concrete, while the Super-V pattern enhances grip and traction where you need it most.
-
Vulcanized construction: The Melbek is built “vulc” style, keeping the shoe lighter and more flexible for that board-feel advantage.
All those features add up to a shoe that balances protection, comfort, and performance.
Performance on Your Board
When you’re out skating, the last thing you want is your shoes failing. That’s where the Globe Melbek Shoes shine:
-
Grip when it counts: The Super-V pattern digs into concrete and ramps, giving you more control on slides, pivots, and tricky landings.
-
Responsiveness and feel: Because the construction is vulcanized and the materials are lean, you stay connected to the board. The midsole gives just enough cushioning while preserving pop.
-
Durability over time: The suede takes a beating but holds up. The reinforced outsole delays wear. And the Shockbed™ insole helps protect your feet from constant impact.
-
All-day comfort: Whether you’re skating or just walking through town, the liner and cushioning keep things livable. The ventilation helps when temps climb.
If you skate often, you’ll appreciate how the Globe Melbek stands the test of repeated trick sessions and random gaps.
Style & Fit
The Globe Melbek Shoes come in color options like Olive/Black (a good all-rounder) and classic grey/black. They use a standard lace-up fit with round toe construction. As with most Globe shoes, they tend to run true to size. If you’re between sizes or have wider feet, you may want to try both or check with the size chart.
The design is clean and subtle — you won’t see loud branding overload. That gives you room to let your skating speak for itself.
Ideal Use Cases
The Globe Melbek Shoes are versatile. They’re built to handle:
-
Street skating — ledges, curbs, rails, and rough ground.
-
Park use — transition, hips, manual pads, coping.
-
Daily wear — thanks to the comfort features and aesthetic, they work as an everyday sneaker too.
They’re not a heavy boot or overly protective cupsole, so if you’re doing big gaps or high drops, you may want more padding in addition. But for the majority of skating, the Globe Melbek is a solid all-around option.

Care Tips & Longevity
To get the most life from your new Globe Melbek Shoes:
-
Break them in gradually — Vulc shoes flex fast, so ride them lightly at first.
-
Clean the suede gently — Use a suede brush or eraser; avoid soaking.
-
Watch the soles — When the tread gets worn on key zones, it’s time to rotate or replace.
-
Dry them right — If they get soaked, dry naturally (no heat) to avoid warping.
If you treat them right, the Globe Melbek Shoes will repay you with consistency session after session.
If you’re after a skate shoe that doesn’t overpromise but underdelivers, the Globe Melbek Shoes are a strong pick. They strike a balance: durable suede, a solid outsole, impact cushioning, and good board feel. For riders at Fixion Skate Shop and beyond — from park rats to street slayers — this is one sneaker you’ll want under your feet. Grab a pair, break them in, and put them through whatever your skating can throw at them.
