FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?
While inspired by skate culture and featuring durable construction, these shoes are primarily designed for streetwear and casual wear. For dedicated skateboarding, specialized skate shoes with enhanced durability and board feel might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the nubuck leather parts?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated nubuck cleaner is recommended. Avoid washing the shoes with water and soap, and always allow them to air dry.
What is the Pill Pattern™ tread?
The Pill Pattern™ tread is DC Shoes' signature outsole design, characterized by its unique shape that provides excellent grip and traction on various surfaces.
Are these shoes true to size?
According to the product information, the shoes are designed to fit true to size with an average width.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the durable materials offer some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the nubuck leather and maintain their condition.
What material is the insole made of?
The insole is made of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), which provides cushioning and impact absorption.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still uncomfortable, consider if the width is suitable or if break-in time is needed.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a powder or talcum powder under the insole, or ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole and the Pill Pattern™ tread with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering grip.
Leather looking dry
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck or suede to restore moisture and suppleness. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
