FAQs

What materials are the DC Shoes Court Graffik made from?

The upper is typically constructed from a combination of nubuck, suede, and leather overlays. The tongue is made of lightweight mesh, and the outsole is rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

The Court Graffik is designed with skateboarding in mind, offering good grip and support. While suitable for many skaters, professional-level technical skaters might prefer shoes with specific features geared towards advanced tricks.

How do I clean the suede and nubuck parts?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid washing the shoes in a machine or submerging them in water.

What is the 'pill pattern' tread?

The 'pill pattern' is DC Shoes' trademarked tread design on the rubber outsole, known for providing excellent and reliable grip on various surfaces.

Can I wear these shoes for running or athletic activities other than skating?

While comfortable for walking, the Court Graffik is primarily designed for skateboarding and casual wear. It lacks the specialized cushioning and support features found in dedicated running or athletic shoes.

How does the sizing run for the Court Graffik?

Sizing for skate shoes can vary. It's generally recommended to try them on if possible, or consult sizing charts and customer reviews for guidance. This model is available in various UK adult foot sizes.

What is the benefit of the perforated details?

The perforated details on the upper of the shoe are designed to promote airflow, helping to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable during wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Loosen the laces for a more relaxed fit.

Reduced grip on the sole

Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris that might be reducing traction.

Suede/nubuck material looks dirty or stained

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a damp cloth, being careful not to oversaturate the material. Allow to air dry completely.

Padded collar feels too restrictive

While designed for support, ensure laces are not tied too tightly around the ankle. Consistent wear will help soften the padding over time.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent grip and traction due to the pill pattern outsole.
  • Comfortable and supportive due to padded tongue and ankle collars.

  • Classic, recognizable skate shoe aesthetic.
  • Breathable design with perforated details and mesh tongue.

Cons

  • The 'chunky' design may not appeal to everyone for casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Nubuck/Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material.
