FAQs
Is the DC Onyx suitable for heavy-duty skating?
Yes, it features an abrasion-resistant outsole and vulcanised construction, making it well-suited for skate performance.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The Onyx generally follows standard sizing for adult footwear. If you prefer a loose fit, consider sizing up by a half size.
How do I protect the blue suede colour?
Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray and keep the shoes out of direct sunlight.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard construction is designed for an average foot width, but the natural materials may stretch slightly with regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces are fraying prematurely
Adjust the laces using the integrated forefoot protection feature to reduce friction against the grip tape.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.
Sole grip is slippery
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris build-up that may be impacting traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Onyx trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension, utilizing the forefoot lace protection feature to prevent premature fraying.
- Cleaning: As the upper is crafted from suede, avoid using water-based cleaners directly on the surface. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for dry stains.
- Moisture Prevention: Suede is highly absorbent. We recommend applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue colour over time.
