FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the DC Onyx generally follows standard sizing for adult footwear. If you prefer a loose fit for skating, some users choose to go half a size up.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the vulcanized bond. Always clean them by hand.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable suede, which offers a balance between flexibility and abrasion resistance.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While the rubber outsole is grippy, the suede upper is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent permanent water staining.
What is the benefit of the vulcanized sole?
The vulcanized process involves heat-bonding the rubber to the shoe, resulting in a more flexible, lightweight sole that offers superior board feel compared to cup-sole trainers.
Does the insole come out?
Yes, the EVA insole can typically be removed if you need to air them out or replace them with custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently rub the affected area with a suede brush or a clean eraser to restore the nap.
Laces fraying quickly
Ensure they are routed correctly through the forefoot lace protection features to minimize contact with abrasive surfaces.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the bottom of the shoes with a damp cloth to remove packed-in dirt or debris that fills the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Onyx trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede and foam to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove dust and surface dirt from the suede. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaning kit. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the material colors from fading.
- Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray designed for suede to protect against light moisture and environmental grime.
