FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the DC Shoes Court Graffik?

The DC Shoes Court Graffik is primarily designed as a skate shoe, offering durability, grip, and support for skateboarding. It also functions well as a comfortable and stylish casual trainer for everyday wear.

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is constructed from a combination of nubuck and suede, with tonal leather overlays for added durability and style.

How do I clean the suede and nubuck parts of the shoe?

For suede and nubuck, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid saturating the material with water.

Does the shoe offer good ankle support?

Yes, the Court Graffik features a foam-padded tongue and ankle collar, which provide significant comfort and crucial stability.

What type of grip does the outsole provide?

The outsole is made of rubber and features DC's trademarked pill pattern tread, designed to offer reliable and consistent grip on various surfaces.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

While the padding offers a secure fit, the specific fit for wide feet can vary. Trying them on or checking reviews regarding fit for wider feet is advisable.

What does 'cupsole construction' mean?

Cupsole construction refers to a method where the outsole is stitched or cemented to the upper in a 'cup' shape. This typically offers more durability and support compared to vulcanized construction.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if the fit is not suitable for your foot shape.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the rubber outsole using a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Ensure the surface you are on provides adequate grip.

Suede or nubuck material looks worn or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the texture. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Protect with a suede protector spray if desired.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for skate-inspired activities.
  • Comfortable padding around the ankle and tongue for extended wear.
  • Reliable grip from the trademarked pill pattern tread.
  • Stylish, classic skate shoe design.

Cons

  • The 'chunky' aesthetic may not appeal to those preferring minimalist footwear.
  • Suede and nubuck materials may require specific cleaning and care to maintain appearance.
  • May be heavier than ultra-lightweight athletic trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The DC Shoes Court Graffik arrives ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males. They are compatible with casual attire and can be used for light athletic activities, particularly skateboarding. They are not designed for high-impact sports.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede/Nubuck: For stains on suede or nubuck, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage these materials.
  • Leather Overlays: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a leather conditioner can help restore the finish.
  • Lining and Outsole: The textile lining can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. The rubber outsole can be wiped down to remove dirt and maintain grip. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
