FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking?
Yes, the EVA insole provides cushioning that makes them comfortable for all-day casual walking.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the vulcanized bonding agents. Hand-cleaning is recommended.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The Onyx series variant typically features durable suede construction.
Do these shoes offer good board feel?
Yes, the vulcanized sole is specifically designed to provide a low-profile feel for better grip and control on a skateboard.
What does 'vulcanized sole' mean?
It refers to a manufacturing process where the rubber sole is bonded to the shoe through heat, resulting in a more flexible and lightweight trainer.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing signs of staining
Use a dry suede eraser to gently rub away the spot, then use a suede brush to restore the nap.
The laces are fraying quickly
Utilize the built-in lace protection features, or consider replacing them with high-durability skate-specific laces.
Foot feels slightly stiff at first
This is common with vulcanized shoes; wear them for shorter periods for 2-3 days to break in the insoles and canvas lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Onyx trainers last, keep these maintenance tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust and debris. Do not machine wash or submerge in water as this can damage the suede texture.
- Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a suede eraser. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water repellent spray before initial wear to protect against minor liquid spills and dirt buildup.
