Product Information
Full details
The DC Shoes Onyx is designed for adult skaters and casual wearers who prioritize a clean, classic aesthetic matched with functional board performance. Its core benefit lies in the balance of a responsive vulcanized sole for superior board feel and an EVA insole for everyday comfort; however, the suede upper requires regular maintenance to keep the material looking pristine over time.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Onyx is made primarily of suede, which is not waterproof. We recommend applying a suede-safe water repellent spray to protect against light moisture.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing, as the water and agitation can damage the suede and the adhesives holding the sole together.
What is the benefit of a vulcanized sole?
A vulcanized sole is thinner and more flexible than a cupsole, which gives the skater a better feel for the board and improved control.
How do I clean the white sections of the shoe?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth for the rubber, or a designated shoe cleaner for the textile and suede components.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The EVA insole provides basic cushioning, but for individuals requiring significant arch support, a customized orthotic insole may be used.
Troubleshooting
Suede upper looks flat or dull
Use a suede brush in a back-and-forth motion to restore the nap and texture of the material.
Laces fraying quickly
Ensure you are utilizing the optional lace protection feature of the shoe and consider replacing them with high-durability skate laces.
Insole comfort fading
If the original EVA insole wears down, replace it with a compatible aftermarket sport insole to restore arch support and cushioning.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent board feel due to the vulcanized construction
- High level of comfort provided by the EVA insole
- Durable, abrasion-resistant rubber outsole
- Padded design offers extra support for the ankle and tongue
- Includes features specifically for skate-related wear and tear
Cons
- Suede material is susceptible to staining and water damage
- Requires periodic cleaning to maintain the texture of the upper
- Not intended for extreme weather or heavy mud conditions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Onyx comes ready to wear straight out of the box. To utilize the optional lace protection, ensure the laces are threaded through the provided reinforced eyelets correctly to minimize exposure to the grip tape.
Compatibility: These trainers are true-to-size for standard adult foot widths. The classic silhouette pairs well with both baggy skate-style trousers and slim-fit denim.
Care:
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede upper after each use.
- Avoid getting the shoes excessively wet, as water can harden or stain the suede material.
- For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a professional-grade suede cleaner.
- If the shoes become damp inside, air dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
