FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture and featuring durable construction, the Court Graffik is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear. For serious skateboarding, specialized skate shoes with enhanced durability and board feel might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the nubuck leather?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

What is the 'Pill Pattern™' tread?

The Pill Pattern™ tread is a unique outsole design by DC Shoes engineered to provide superior grip and traction on various surfaces, enhancing stability.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Based on product information, the DC Shoes Court Graffik are designed to fit true to size with an average width.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, nubuck and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions and to use a waterproofing spray for protection.

What are the main materials used in the shoe?

The primary materials include nubuck leather, suede, synthetic leather for the upper, a mesh lining for breathability, an EVA insole for cushioning, and a rubber outsole for durability and traction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, ensuring not to overtighten. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if break-in time is needed for the materials.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Tread appears worn quickly

Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (casual wear). Excessive use on abrasive surfaces or for high-impact activities can accelerate tread wear.

Material scuffing or staining

Address scuffs and stains promptly using appropriate cleaning methods for nubuck and suede. Pre-treating with a protector spray can help prevent stains.
