Product Information
Full details
The DC Shoes Pure High-Top WC is designed for adult men who value a blend of classic skate aesthetics and reliable comfort. Featuring a durable leather, nubuck, or suede upper and a supportive foam-padded collar, this sneaker is built to handle both everyday wear and casual skating. While it provides excellent ankle support and a robust cupsole construction, users should note that the high-top profile requires a slightly longer break-in period compared to low-top alternatives.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the Pure High-Top WC features a durable cupsole and abrasion-resistant rubber, making them suitable for the demands of street and park skating.
Do I need to spray these with a protective coating?
Using a stain and water repellent spray can help protect the leather and suede upper from the elements, but ensure the product is compatible with the material before application.
How do these fit compared to other DC models?
They generally run true to size in UK adult sizing, but the padded high-top entry may make them feel more snug than low-top models initially.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.
Are these waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged or worn in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
This is normal for high-top leather shoes. Wear them for short durations indoors to help the foam padding and upper materials conform to your foot shape.
Stains appearing on suede sections
Avoid water-based cleaning agents on suede. Use a dedicated dry suede eraser and brush to lift dirt without damaging the texture.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces are stiff. The wax coating on many skate laces can be slippery until worn in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Shoes maintain their integrity, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather or suede. For stubborn marks, use a suede-safe cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather or warp the rubber.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Compatibility: These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you have a wider foot, consider wearing thinner socks during the initial break-in phase to allow the materials to stretch naturally.
