FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Court Graffik is designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring a durable suede upper and a grippy tread. However, for professional-level skateboarding requiring advanced technical features, other specialized models might be more appropriate. They are excellent for casual skating and street wear.
How do I clean the white sole unit?
You can clean the white sole unit with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and scuffs, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoe.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, especially due to the suede material. Machine washing can damage the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of this specific model is made from black suede.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The shoe has a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, trying them on in person or checking reviews specific to fit for wider feet is advisable, as the padded tongue and collar might slightly reduce internal volume.
What does 'Low Shoes' refer to in the product title?
'Low Shoes' indicates the cut of the shoe, meaning they do not extend above the ankle, as opposed to mid-top or high-top styles.
How does the tread pattern help?
DC's trademarked pattern tread is designed to provide optimal grip and board feel, crucial for skateboarding and ensuring stability on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. Brush gently in one direction, then in multiple directions to lift the fibers.
Discoloration from dirt
For minor scuffs on the suede, try a pencil eraser. For more persistent dirt, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Sole becoming slippery
Ensure the tread is clear of debris. If wear is significant, the grip may be reduced due to the natural wear and tear of the rubber.
Inner lining feels uncomfortable
Ensure socks are worn correctly. If the issue persists, consider using insoles for added comfort, though this may slightly affect fit.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: For the suede upper, use a specialized suede brush or a dry cloth to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage suede.
