FAQs

Is the DC Court Graffik suitable for professional skateboarding?

While the Court Graffik offers good traction and durability for casual skateboarding, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. For advanced or professional skateboarding, shoes with more specialized technical features might be preferred.

How should I clean the grey suede upper?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water excessively, and always let the shoes air dry naturally.

What is the primary benefit of the padded collar and tongue?

The foam padding in the collar and tongue provides enhanced comfort and a more secure, supportive fit around the ankle and top of the foot.

Are these shoes breathable?

Yes, the shoes feature vent holes in the upper and a lightweight mesh tongue, which contribute to airflow and breathability.

What does DC's trademarked Pill Pattern tread offer?

The Pill Pattern tread is a specific outsole design by DC Shoes engineered to provide reliable grip and durability on various surfaces.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the suede offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.

What is the main design inspiration for the Court Graffik?

The Court Graffik is based on a classic court shoe silhouette, updated with extra padding for comfort and a bolder aesthetic often seen in skate footwear.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a comfortable fit. If the shoe is consistently too tight, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.

Suede material looks dirty or scuffed

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on the sole

Clean the outsole tread with a damp cloth to remove any embedded debris that might be affecting traction.

Tongue feels uncomfortable

Adjust the position of the tongue and ensure the laces are not overtightened. The padding is designed for comfort, but initial adjustment may be needed.
