Product Information
Full details
The DC Pure High Top WC trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of classic skate aesthetics and everyday durability. Featuring a robust leather and nubuck upper with a protective high-top profile, these shoes offer excellent ankle support and reliable grip for both skating and casual wear. While they provide significant comfort through padded interiors, the substantial cupsole construction can feel somewhat rigid initially, requiring a short break-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the padding can make them feel slightly snug at first.
Can I use these for professional skating?
Absolutely. The cupsole and pill pattern tread are designed specifically for board control and impact protection.
How do I maintain the water-resistant coating?
You can re-apply a standard leather and nubuck water-repellent spray every few months to maintain protection.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the EVA sock liners are removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotic insoles.
Do these provide good arch support?
They provide moderate support, which is standard for skate shoes; for high arches, consider inserting a dedicated arch support insole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff after wearing
The cupsole construction requires a break-in period; try wearing them for 30-minute intervals until the material softens.
Laces coming undone
Double-knot the laces or swap for textured laces to provide more friction, as the standard factory laces can be slick.
Surface scuffing on the nubuck
Use a nubuck eraser or a suede brush to gently buff away minor scuffs and restore the texture of the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Pure trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods over the first few days to allow the leather and foam padding to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the nubuck and leather surfaces. For deeper stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue in the cupsole to weaken.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces firmly around the ankle for maximum support, or keep them slightly looser for a relaxed lifestyle fit.
