FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

They are weather-resistant, meaning they handle light rain and damp conditions well, but they are not fully waterproof.

Can I use these for long-distance running?

While they are comfortable, they are designed as skate shoes and lack the specific ergonomic cushioning found in dedicated running footwear.

How do I maintain the suede finish?

Use a suede eraser and brush to keep the nap lifted and clean; avoid heavy water exposure.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, most DC performance cupsoles feature removable insoles if you need to use orthotics.

Does the Manteca 4 fit true to size?

Generally, yes. However, due to the internal padding and tongue straps, they have a secure fit; some users prefer a half-size up for a looser feel.

What is the purpose of the herringbone tread?

The herringbone pattern is designed to provide multidirectional grip, which is essential for maintaining control on a skateboard deck.

Troubleshooting

Tongue shifting during wear

Ensure the internal tongue straps are positioned correctly over the mid-foot area.

Visible dirt on suede

Allow the dirt to dry completely and gently buff it out using a soft-bristled suede brush.

Stiff feel when first worn

Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the padded collar and cupsole to break in naturally.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable suede material withstands heavy wear
  • Provides reliable ankle protection
  • Weather-resistant design suitable for various climates
  • Excellent grip provided by the signature herringbone tread
  • Internal tongue straps prevent uncomfortable shifting

Cons

  • Higher weight due to the reinforced cupsole and high-top design
  • Suede material requires specific care to maintain appearance
  • High-top profile may feel restrictive to those accustomed to low-tops

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure your laces are adjusted correctly through the high-top eyelets to secure your ankle without cutting off circulation. As these shoes feature suede, it is recommended to use a suede-specific brush to remove dried mud or dust. Avoid washing them in a machine, as soaking the suede can cause stiffening and color bleeding. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked, let them air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or cause the glue to lose its bond.
