FAQs
What material is the upper primarily made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of nubuck and suede, with additional leather overlays for structure and durability.
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
While designed with skate aesthetics and featuring good grip and support, they are best suited for casual skateboarding and everyday wear rather than professional, high-impact use.
How do I clean the suede and nubuck parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth is recommended, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the material.
What type of grip does the outsole provide?
The outsole features DC's trademarked pill pattern tread, designed to offer reliable and consistent grip on various surfaces.
Can I wear these shoes for running or other athletic activities?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and skateboarding. They are not optimized for high-impact or performance-specific athletic activities like running.
What does 'cupsole construction' mean for comfort?
Cupsole construction refers to how the sole is made, creating a sturdy, unified unit that wraps up the sides of the shoe. This typically offers good durability, support, and a comfortable platform for walking and skating.
Is the mesh tongue a common feature for this model?
Yes, the lightweight mesh tongue is a specific feature noted for this model, designed to enhance breathability and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow the materials to break in. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks for more room.
Suede or nubuck appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, spot clean with a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, and allow to air dry completely.
Traction is reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be hindering grip.
Tongue or collar feels uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing to change pressure points. The padding is designed to conform to the foot over time; wear the shoes consistently for a short period.
