FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for skateboarding?
While the DC Shoes Stag features a cupsole construction and durable materials that can withstand some skating, they are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For dedicated skateboarding, DC Shoes offers specific skate shoe models with enhanced features for board feel and impact protection.
How do I clean the gum sole?
The gum sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a specialized sole cleaner can be used carefully, avoiding contact with the suede upper.
What is the purpose of the medial perforations?
The medial perforations on the toe and side panels are designed to improve airflow and breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during extended wear.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is strongly advised not to put suede trainers in a washing machine, as this can damage the material, adhesives, and shape of the shoe.
What does 'cupsole construction' mean?
Cupsole construction refers to how the sole is made. The upper is stitched or bonded to a rubber sole that wraps up the sides of the shoe, creating a 'cup' shape. This generally offers good durability and support.
How do the moulded TPR eyestays help?
Moulded TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) eyestays are integrated into the shoe's design to reinforce the area where laces pass through. This helps to prevent the laces from tearing through the material, increasing the shoe's lifespan.
What other colours are available for the Stag model?
The DC Shoes Stag model is available in various colourways and material combinations. Please refer to the product listing for available options.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, consult specific suede cleaning product instructions.
Laces show signs of wear.
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the moulded TPR eyestays.
Tread is losing grip.
Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris. For significant wear on the Pill Pattern tread, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort during wear.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The foam padding may require a short break-in period. Check that laces are not tied too tightly.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult male footwear sizes. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear apparel.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: For the nubuck (suede) upper, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the nap. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage the suede.
- Lining and Sole: The textile lining and mesh collar can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The rubber sole can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing them again.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
