FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, they are made from leather, nubuck, and mesh. While the materials are durable, they are not waterproof and should be protected with a suede/leather spray if exposed to rain.

Do these trainers provide good arch support?

They feature an EVA sock liner that provides moderate comfort, but users with specific orthotic needs may prefer to swap the stock liner for a custom insert.

How should I clean the nubuck sections?

Use a dry cleaning method with a soft brush or a dedicated nubuck cleaning block to lift surface dirt without damaging the material's texture.

Are these true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult males. If you plan to wear very thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.

Can I use these for professional skateboarding?

The Pure series is inspired by skate culture and features a grippy tread and cupsole construction, making them durable enough for casual riding.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming loose frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot and that the laces are threaded tightly through the top eyelet to utilize the high-top ankle lockdown.

Shoe feels stiff out of the box

Leather and nubuck materials require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the materials to soften.

Accumulation of debris in the sole tread

Use a firm plastic-bristled brush to clear out gravel or mud stuck in the pill pattern tread to maintain optimal traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with high-quality leather and nubuck
  • Excellent ankle support from the high-top design
  • Superior grip provided by the rubber pill pattern tread
  • Extra comfort via the foam-padded tongue and collar
  • Classic, versatile aesthetic suitable for casual wear

Cons

  • High-top design may feel restrictive for some users
  • Material blend requires break-in time to reach maximum comfort
  • Heavier weight compared to performance-focused athletic trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your DC Pure High Top WC trainers last, keep them away from excessive moisture to protect the integrity of the leather and nubuck. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and leather surfaces. For stubborn stains on the nubuck, use a specialized nubuck eraser or cleaner. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly through the front eyelets to maintain a secure fit, which prevents the heel from slipping during movement. These shoes pair best with denim or relaxed-fit trousers given their classic, beefy silhouette.
