My opinion, their cordovan tab is the only one to go with. It will feel weird at first, but make yourself give it a go for a week without reverting to globe and I bet you don't go back. Get the Bateman cordovan with the leather hole to put your finger through instead of the one with the elastic. Be careful with the rubber finger seporater, it comes out kind of easy, only downfall with them. Lots of pros for teens, you can take a deeper hook, you can wear warm gloves etc. Unless you have really big hands or really long fingers, I recommend the medium size
