Full details
The DC Shoes Pure HIGH-TOP WC is an ideal choice for adults looking for a classic skate-inspired sneaker that offers a blend of durability and everyday comfort. Featuring a robust leather and nubuck construction with a supportive high-top design, it provides excellent ankle stability and long-lasting wear. While the sturdy build is great for both casual styling and skateboarding, the substantial padding and cupsole construction mean it may feel slightly heavier than minimalist lifestyle shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the Pure HIGH-TOP WC is built with durable materials and a cupsole construction specifically designed to handle the rigors of skateboarding.
Does the shoe run true to size?
DC Shoes generally follow standard sizing. If you are between sizes or plan on wearing thick socks, opting for a half-size up is often recommended.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, suede, and adhesive bonds in the sole. Always use manual cleaning methods.
Is the sole non-marking?
The abrasion-resistant rubber sole is designed for high performance, but it is best to check the specific surface requirements of your venue if you intend to use them on indoor court surfaces.
How do I care for the suede components?
Use a suede-specific brush to keep the nap lifted and remove dust. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaning block or foam.
Troubleshooting
Tongue sliding to the side during wear
Ensure the laces are looped through the tongue strap or center loop found on many DC models to anchor it in place.
Upper material showing scuffs
For nubuck or suede, use a specialized eraser or soft brush to gently buff out surface scuffs. For leather, a matching polish can help blend minor marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Shoes last as long as possible, regular care is essential. Since the upper is made from leather, nubuck, or suede, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the surface. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized leather or suede cleaner using a cloth, following the product instructions carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue in the cupsole to weaken over time. Check the laces periodically for fraying and replace them as needed to maintain a proper fit and keep your ankles supported.
