FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the cupsole construction, abrasion-resistant rubber, and impact-resistant midsole are designed for skate durability.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers fit true to size. If you prefer a wider fit or wear thick socks, you may consider sizing up by a half size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can compromise the glue and leather materials. Spot clean them by hand instead.
Does the ankle padding offer enough support?
The foam-padded collar provides significant support and comfort, which is one of the key benefits of this high-top design.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears
The leather upper will stretch and mold to your foot over time; wear them with thin socks initially to assist the break-in process.
Excessive dirt build-up in the tread pattern
Use a stiff-bristle brush to dislodge debris from the "pill" tread after walking on muddy or dusty paths.
Pros and Cons

- Durable, abrasion-resistant rubber outsole
- Cushioned EVA sock liner for all-day comfort

Cons
- Heavier feel compared to lightweight running shoes
- Requires a break-in period for the leather upper
- Higher profile may feel warm in very hot climates
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: The leather and nubuck upper may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short durations to allow the materials to soften naturally.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede or nubuck panels. For leather sections, a damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Lacing: Adjust the lace-up closure to your preferred tension. Ensure they are not overtightened at the top if you require extra flexibility for your ankles.
