FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While inspired by skate culture and featuring a durable cupsole and good grip, they are primarily designed for everyday streetwear. For serious or frequent skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with enhanced protection and board feel might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the nubuck leather and suede?
For nubuck and suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water excessively.
What is the 'Pill Pattern™' tread?
The Pill Pattern™ tread is DC Shoes' proprietary outsole design, characterized by its unique pattern that provides excellent grip and durability on various surfaces.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
The Court Graffik features an EVA insole, which offers cushioning and some level of support. However, they are not specifically designed as orthopedic shoes. For significant arch support needs, consider adding aftermarket insoles.
Are they waterproof?
No, these shoes are not waterproof. The materials used (leather, suede, mesh) offer some water resistance, but they are not designed for prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How should I choose my size?
The product information suggests the sizing is true to size with an average width. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.
What is the main difference between the Court Graffik and other DC Shoes models?
The Court Graffik series typically emphasizes a classic, slightly bulkier skate-inspired silhouette with robust construction for everyday wear, often featuring prominent branding. Other models might focus on slimmer profiles, specific performance features, or different material combinations.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider using them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to break in, or consult the sizing guide for potential exchanges.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside with talcum powder, and replacing the insole. Ensure the laces are not rubbing against the tongue.
Tread losing grip
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the rubber has not become excessively worn down; if so, replacement may be necessary.
Discoloration on leather/suede
Address stains or discoloration immediately with appropriate leather or suede cleaners as per product instructions. For general upkeep, use a protective spray suitable for the materials.
