FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
While inspired by skate shoes and featuring good grip, the Court Graffik SQ are primarily designed for casual wear and light skateboarding. For advanced or professional skateboarding, consider DC's dedicated skate performance lines.
What is the best way to clean the leather and nubuck parts?
For nubuck, use a suede brush and specific nubuck cleaner. For leather, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
They provide standard cushioning and padding in the collar and tongue for comfort. For significant arch support needs, consider using aftermarket insoles.
What does 'SQ' in Court Graffik SQ stand for?
The 'SQ' typically denotes a square toe design or a variation on the classic silhouette, often implying a slightly different fit or aesthetic compared to the original model.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to try them on if possible. Check the size chart provided by DC Shoes and measure your foot. If you are between sizes, consider your sock thickness preference.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, washing machines are not recommended as they can damage the materials, construction, and adhesives of the shoe.
What is the difference between Court Graffik and Court Graffik SQ?
The 'SQ' designation often indicates a specific update or variation on the classic Court Graffik design, potentially differing in minor aesthetic details or fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try powdering the insoles or checking for any loose parts. If persistent, consult store for advice.
Tread losing grip
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud, oil, or other debris. Excessive wear on the tread may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan.
Discoloration on nubuck
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Protect from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent fading.

- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains on the nubuck, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Wipe the leather panels with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
