FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
Yes, the Pure High-Top WC features a water-resistant design that helps protect your feet in damp conditions.
Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?
The durable cupsole construction and abrasion-resistant rubber make them a great choice for both casual skating and daily wear.
How do I clean the suede panels?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. Do not wash these shoes in a machine as it can damage the materials.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The foam-padded interior and cupsole construction provide a supportive feel, though users with specific orthotic needs may choose to swap the insole.
What materials are used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather, nubuck, and/or suede for durability.
Are they true to size?
The DC Shoes Pure range generally fits true to standard UK sizes for men.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight around the ankle.
Loosen the laces significantly before inserting your foot, then adjust the tension from the bottom up to customize the support level.
Scuff marks on the suede upper.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush or a suede eraser to gently buff out the scuffs; avoid using water on fresh stains.
Laces coming undone during activity.
Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured set if the standard ones slip.

- Comfortable fit from foam padding

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the front lace-up closure to distribute pressure evenly across the bridge of your foot. Given the use of leather, nubuck, and suede, it is recommended to use a protective spray designed for these materials to maintain their water resistance and appearance. To clean, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth or use a specialized suede/nubuck brush to gently remove debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives in the cupsole construction.
