FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, they feature impact-resistant midsoles and abrasion-resistant rubber outsoles designed specifically for skate performance.

Do I need to spray these with a protector?

Using a leather/nubuck water and stain repellent spray can help maintain the appearance of the black/grey upper.

Are the insoles removable?

The trainers feature a standard internal construction; however, for optimal support, the factory-installed foam is designed to be kept in place.

How does the size compare to other brands?

DC Shoes generally follow standard sizing, but if you prefer extra room for thick socks, you may consider your typical athletic footwear size.

Can I wear these in winter?

While durable, the standard model is not waterproof. For winter-specific conditions, look for the 'Winter' or 'WNT' series variants which include specialized linings.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during initial wear

The foam padding in the collar and tongue will break in and compress slightly over the first few days of use for a custom fit.

Difficulty cleaning nubuck material

Use a specialized nubuck eraser or a dry suede brush to lift dirt without damaging the texture.

Outsole losing grip

Wipe the rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris that can accumulate in the pill-pattern tread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ankle protection and support
  • Durable abrasion-resistant rubber outsole
  • Stylish aesthetic with versatile black/grey colorway
  • Good cushioning for impact absorption
  • Breathable design via medial ventilation holes

Cons

  • Heavier than low-profile trainers
  • Leather and nubuck requires specific cleaning care
  • High-top silhouette may feel restrictive for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Lacing: Use the full set of eyelets to maximize the benefits of the high-top ankle support.
  2. Cleaning: Gently brush away surface dirt from the nubuck and textile areas using a soft-bristle brush. Use a damp cloth for the white and gum sole unit. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesive in the cupsole construction.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material stiffening.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes are true-to-size and pair well with standard skate socks or cushioned performance socks to maximize the internal padding comfort.
