Product Information
Full details
The DC Shoes Pure High Top is designed for adult men who appreciate a blend of classic skate aesthetic and enhanced ankle support. It offers the key benefit of superior impact protection and foot stability through its foam-padded collar and reinforced cupsole construction, making it an excellent choice for daily wear or casual skateboarding. However, prospective buyers should note that the high-top design and robust leather construction may feel heavier and less ventilated than minimalist canvas sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the cupsole construction and abrasion-resistant rubber make them durable enough for regular skate sessions.
How should I clean the red leather?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could discolor or dry out the leather material.
Does the high-top design restrict movement?
The foam-padded collar is designed to provide support while allowing natural ankle flexion, though it provides more rigidity than a low-top.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal liners are designed to be removable if you wish to insert custom orthotics.
Is this shoe water-resistant?
While leather provides some resistance to light moisture, it is not waterproof and should be dried naturally if it becomes soaked.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch and conform to your foot shape; wear them for short durations indoors to break them in.
Accumulation of dirt in vent holes
Use a small, soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently clear debris from the side ventilation ports.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ankle support for daily activities
- High durability due to cupsole construction
- Effective shock absorption via padded midsole
- Strong grip from the abrasion-resistant rubber outsole
Cons
- Slightly heavier weight compared to low-top alternatives
- May require a break-in period for the leather upper
- Less airflow compared to mesh or canvas models
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come standard with high-quality laces. For optimal comfort, ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelets if you require maximum ankle support, or leave the top eyelet open if you prefer more range of motion.
Compatibility: This specific model is a UK size 14, providing a generous fit suitable for those needing larger foot sizes. It pairs well with casual denim, cargo pants, or track bottoms.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the leather upper, keep the shoes away from prolonged direct heat sources. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for spot treatment. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the structural adhesives used in the cupsole construction.
