Medium to wide feet were greeted well inside the pair, as confirmed by reviewers. One told others that it has a perfectly snug fit that isn’t too tight. One gushed: “it is really hugging my foot right.”
Why trust us
It might seem that Mahalo Plus doesn’t have padding around the ankle and heel area, but a vlogger rectified this assumption. He said it has a little padding that provides “nice little protection and comfort” and is quite welcoming.
A skater thought it would not be comfy since it is more of a tech shoe, but he ended up stating: “no issues with breaking in, no feet sore and stuff like that.” Others had to break into this pair but only for a short period.

Flicks and ollies? Check. Grip and board feel? Also, check. Here are some of the skaters' comments regarding its performance:
- “Kickflips were popping off very very well.”
- “They flicked right, and they landed solid.”
- “This ollie patch came in clutch, and it made the board stay kind of gripped up to my feet.”
- “It’s a nice thin vulcanized shoe where you get lots of good board feel.”
- “It stayed super super grippy.”
ldquo;It stayed super super grippy.”
Skaters also loved how great this sneaker received impact. One mentioned: “I really did enjoy having to jump off ledges and stuff like that.” They felt secure with its extra packed protection beneath the feet. Another said he’d 100% back Mahalo Plus’ shock bed as it has a “super cushy, crazy good feel.”
Top durability
Thrashers attested to the overall durability of this sneaker. They demonstrated that after skating hard, they still haven’t gone through its layers of toughness. Also, the well-attached ollie patch was praised for making Mahalo Plus “a lot more durable of a skate shoe.” The only issue was its thin laces which were ripped quite easily.
Add a product
Although this sneaker has some perforations, a skater revealed that it didn’t give him much breathability. He added he slightly sweated inside the sneaker.
Great deal
One affirmed that Mahalo Plus is “actually really bang through your buck” at $100. Although it is 23% more expensive than the average price of Globe skate sneakers, fans still believe it was worth the price.
