FAQs
What material are these shoes made of?
The DC Shoes Court Graffik features a combination of nubuck leather, suede, synthetic leather, and a mesh lining.
Are these suitable for actual skateboarding?
While inspired by skate shoes and offering good grip, the Court Graffik is primarily designed for everyday streetwear and casual wear. For serious skateboarding, specialized skate shoes with enhanced durability and board feel are recommended.
How do I clean the nubuck leather and suede parts?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck/suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry. Avoid soaking.
What is the fit like?
The shoes are generally described as true to size with an average width. They feature lace closure for adjustability.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes.
What does 'Cupsole Construction' mean for the shoe?
Cupsole construction refers to how the sole is molded and stitched to the upper, creating a durable, shoe-like unit. It typically provides better impact protection and longevity compared to vulcanized construction.
How do I maintain the grip of the outsole?
Regularly clean the rubber outsole and tread pattern with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that can affect traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If the shoes are new, they may require a break-in period. Consider wearing them with slightly thicker socks to test the fit.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole and checking for debris, or placing a thin powder (like talc) underneath the insole. Ensure the insole is fully dry.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole and the Pill Pattern™ tread with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, oil, or debris that might be hindering grip.
Discoloration on leather/suede
For light discoloration, try using a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser. For persistent stains on nubuck or suede, professional cleaning might be necessary. Avoid exposing the shoes to harsh chemicals or excessive sunlight.
