FAQs

What materials are the DC Shoes Cure Hi Top trainers made of?

The upper is typically leather, nubuck, or suede depending on the colorway. The lining is textile (mesh), and the outsole is made of rubber.

Are these trainers suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, DC Shoes are a skate brand, and these trainers feature a durable construction and a grippy rubber outsole suitable for casual skateboarding.

How do I clean my suede/nubuck Cure Hi Tops?

For suede and nubuck, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and consider a waterproofing spray to protect them.

Do these trainers offer good ankle support?

As high-top trainers, they provide more ankle coverage and support compared to low-top shoes, which is beneficial for general wear and light skating activities.

What is the main advantage of the rubber outsole?

The outsole is designed to be sticky and abrasion-resistant, offering excellent grip on various surfaces and durability against wear and tear.

Are there other color options available?

The product information suggests material and color variations exist. You may find different colorways with differing upper materials like leather, nubuck, or suede.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit or discomfort

Wear the trainers with thick socks for a short period to help stretch them. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If discomfort persists, consider if the break-in period is needed.

Squeaking noise from soles

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Walking on different surfaces may resolve it. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

Scuffs or marks on the upper

For leather, use a damp cloth or leather cleaner. For suede/nubuck, use a suede brush or appropriate cleaner. Address marks promptly before they set.
