FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, they are built with skate-ready features like a wrap-around cup sole and abrasion-resistant rubber, though they also function well as casual lifestyle trainers.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The impact-resistant midsole offers a supportive base, though those with specific orthotic needs may choose to swap the insole.
How do I clean the textile parts?
Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth to spot clean the grey textile areas, then let them air dry.
Are they true to size?
Generally, yes, but the extra padding in the high-top collar may make them feel slightly more snug than a standard low-top shoe.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While durable, the nubuck leather and textile construction are not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the appearance of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Stiff feel when first worn
This is normal for leather-based skate shoes; continue wearing them for a few days to soften the materials.
Accumulated dirt on nubuck
Use a specialized nubuck cleaning brush or a dry, soft brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the surface texture.
Slipping inside the shoe
Check that the internal heel padding is free of debris and ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks for better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Shoes maintain their look and performance, follow these care steps:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods during the first few days to allow the leather and padded collar to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the nubuck sections. Avoid soaking the leather; if wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not overtightened around the collar to allow for natural ankle movement while maintaining support.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the textile lining.
