Product Information
Full details
The DC Shoes Pure Hi WR is a winterized, high-top boot designed for adult men who need a blend of street-ready style and reliable protection against the elements. Its primary strength lies in its water-resistant leather construction and specialized traction sole, making it an excellent choice for damp, cold weather. However, users should note that as a high-top design with a gusseted tongue, the boots require a bit more effort to lace up and break in compared to standard low-top sneakers.

FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
The boots feature a water-resistant finish and a gusseted tongue designed to repel moisture, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof for submersion.
How do I maintain the water-resistant coating?
Periodically apply a leather-safe water-repellent spray or wax to maintain the protective barrier.
Is the sizing consistent with other DC shoes?
Yes, they generally follow standard DC sizing, though the thick padding and winter construction may make them feel slightly more snug than thin-profile skate shoes.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from durable leather, which provides both the water-resistant properties and long-term structural durability.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel during first wear
Wear the boots for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Difficulty getting the boot on
Loosen the laces all the way down to the D-rings to fully open the gusseted tongue before sliding your foot in.
Outsole losing grip
Check the tread pattern for trapped debris or mud; clean the outsole with a stiff brush to restore the effectiveness of the pill tread.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable water-resistant leather construction
- Excellent grip provided by the signature pill tread
- Strong ankle support from the padded high-top collar
- Superior impact cushioning for daily comfort
Cons
- High-top design may be more restrictive than low-cut shoes
- Requires a break-in period for the leather and tongue
- Lacing system with boot hooks takes longer to secure
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the gusseted tongue is aligned correctly before tightening the laces; start from the D-rings at the base and work your way up to the boot hooks to lock your heel in place. For care, wipe down the leather exterior with a damp cloth after exposure to salt or mud to prevent the finish from drying out. Use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain the material's water resistance and suppleness. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue bonds in the outsole to weaken.
