FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skating?
Yes, the Pure High Top WC features a durable cup sole and abrasion-resistant rubber, making them well-suited for skateboarding.
Do I need to spray these with a protector?
Using a water-repellent spray for leather can help protect against stains and light moisture, though ensure it is safe for the specific leather type.
How do I clean the white sections of the sole?
Use a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft cloth or an eraser-style shoe cleaner for scuff marks.
Are these waterproof?
While the leather provides some protection, they are not classified as waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain.
Will the padding loosen over time?
Yes, the foam padding in the collar and tongue will naturally compress to match the shape of your ankle and foot for a more personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during activity
Use a double-knot technique or replace with high-friction flat laces.
Build-up of dirt in the pill tread pattern
Use a stiff plastic brush or a pressurized air canister to clear debris from the outsole grooves.
Leather appearing dull or dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for footwear to restore suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Shoes last, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the leather upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust after each use. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Because these feature a standard lace-up system, you can adjust the tension at the collar to find the perfect balance between support and flexibility. These trainers are standard UK sizing; however, since they are leather, allow for a short break-in period where the material naturally conforms to your foot shape.
