FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the heavy padding in the tongue may make them feel snug initially.
Can I use these for running?
While they offer good cushioning, they are designed as skate shoes and lack the specific motion-control support required for long-distance running.
How do I protect the lime-green accents?
Apply a water-repellent spray designed for synthetic fabrics and rubber to shield the colored portions from dirt and stains.
Is the airbag prone to popping?
No, the airbag is integrated into the heel construction for impact protection and is reinforced to handle the stresses of skateboarding.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if additional arch support is needed.
Are these shoes suitable for winter?
The breathable mesh windows make them excellent for summer, but they offer little insulation for cold or wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
The padding in the tongue can be quite thick; try a double-knot or re-lace the shoes to ensure even tension across the TPU cage.
Mesh windows getting dirty quickly
Use a toothbrush dipped in a mixture of water and gentle detergent to spot-clean the mesh; avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the synthetic materials.
Feel stiff upon first wear
The shoe contains reinforced TPU components; wear them consistently for 3-5 days to allow the midsole and upper materials to flex naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC AT-2 shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short periods during the first few days to allow the padded collar to conform to your ankle shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh panels. For the rubber outsole, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient. Do not submerge the shoes in water, as this may impact the adhesive used on the TPU cage.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a dry, cool area away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber from degrading or the airbag from becoming brittle.
- Compatibility: These shoes function best with standard athletic socks. Thick skate socks may alter the intended fit provided by the padded interior.
