FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The Pure HIGH-TOP WC features a standard fit. Due to the internal padding, those with wider feet may find it snug initially, but the leather construction will stretch slightly over time.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, suede, and adhesive bonds. Always spot clean by hand.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The shoe includes a standard cushioned insole that provides adequate support for everyday activities and casual skating.
Are these waterproof?
While the leather construction is water-resistant to an extent, they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
What is the primary difference between this and the low-top versions?
The primary difference is the high-top collar, which provides extended coverage and superior ankle support compared to low-top styles.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels too stiff after purchase
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for the first few sessions to help stretch the leather and break in the padding naturally.
Accumulation of dirt on the suede panels
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently lift dirt from the nap without damaging the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and leather sections. For deeper stains on the leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Storage: Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause the leather to crack and the adhesive to weaken.
- Moisture: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to maintain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally away from radiators or heaters.
