For enhanced comfort and support, they include a foam-padded tongue and collar, along with an EVA sock liner and mesh lining. The rubber outsole ensures reliable traction and grip on various surfaces, while the sculpted performance cupsole offers stability. This footwear is a versatile addition to any shoe collection. The blend of materials includes nubuck leather and ballistic nylon, detailed with metal logo TPU eyelets and round laces. It also boasts a shearling lining for added warmth.
The DC Shoes Pure Hi Top WC is designed for adult men who need a rugged, reliable trainer that transitions seamlessly from casual daily wear to light performance activities. Featuring a durable multi-panel leather and textile construction with a protective shearling lining, these trainers offer excellent comfort and warmth in various conditions. The main caveat to note is that the high-top design and padded structure provide a more substantial, heavier feel compared to low-profile minimalist footwear, which may require a short breaking-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the Pure series is rooted in skate culture, featuring a durable cupsole and reinforced upper materials suitable for light to moderate skating.
Is the shearling lining real animal fur?
The shearling lining is a synthetic material designed to provide warmth and moisture-wicking properties without the use of animal products.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, yes. However, due to the internal padding and shearling lining, some users prefer to go a half-size up if they plan to wear thick socks.
Can I remove the EVA sock liner?
The sock liner is designed to stay in place to ensure proper performance, but it can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather and nylon upper provide some water resistance against light splashes, they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a protective spray for better performance in rain.
Troubleshooting
Stiff feel during first wear
This is normal for leather-based trainers. Wear them indoors for a few hours at a time to soften the materials.
Laces coming undone
The included round laces are durable but can be slick. Consider a double knot or replacing them with flat laces if you prefer more friction.
Surface dirt on nubuck areas
Use a dry nubuck eraser or a specialized suede brush to lift dirt without staining the material with water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Breaking-in: Because of the padded collar and leather construction, we recommend wearing them for short intervals initially to allow the materials to mold to your specific foot shape.
Lacing: The metal logo TPU eyelets are designed for longevity; ensure you do not overtighten the round laces to maintain blood flow and comfort.
Cleaning: Since the upper uses leather and nubuck, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the shearling lining and adhesive bonds of the cupsole. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking and to keep the interior lining fresh.
