FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the cupsole construction, abrasion-resistant rubber, and impact-resistant mid-sole are designed specifically to handle the stresses of skateboarding.
How do I choose the right size?
These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; if you prefer wearing thicker socks, consider opting for your true size or a half-size up for extra room.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather materials, adhesives, and foam padding. Hand cleaning is recommended.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and synthetic materials, while the outsole is made from durable rubber.
Does the ankle support help with stability?
Yes, the padded high-top collar is specifically designed to provide a secure fit and added stability for the ankle area.
Are the insoles removable?
The shoes feature an EVA sock liner; while often removable, it is designed to be part of the comfort system of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Loosen the laces across the mid-foot area to allow for natural foot swelling and increased circulation.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove grit and dust that may be clogging the 'pill' tread pattern.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the upper retain its shape and minimize permanent creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Shoes last, it is important to follow basic maintenance routines:
- Breaking In: New leather footwear can be stiff. Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the foam padding to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the nubuck and leather panels. For deeper stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than soaking the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant red and black colorways over time.
- Lacing: Utilize the full lace-up system to customize your fit. Ensure the tongue is centered before tightening to keep the padding properly positioned against your shin.
