Full details

Crafted with a premium suede upper and a reinforced cupsole construction, it provides excellent longevity and protection for active skaters, though the high-top design may feel restrictive to those accustomed to low-profile footwear.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter?

While these feature a durable suede construction, this specific model is not the 'WNT' (Winterized) version, so they are better suited for dry conditions.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the cupsole. Always clean them by hand.

What is the benefit of the cupsole over a vulcanized sole?

Cupsole construction generally provides better impact protection and lasts longer during high-impact skating compared to vulcanized soles.

Are these true to size?

The DC Crisis 2 generally runs true to standard UK sizing, though the padding may feel snug at first.

Do the vent holes actually work?

Yes, they allow for essential airflow to escape from the shoe, which helps reduce moisture buildup during prolonged use.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or flat

Use a suede-specific brush to gently lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.

Shoes feel too tight initially

Loosen the metal eyelets and adjust the lacing pressure to allow the internal stretch lining to conform to your foot shape.

Grip feels less effective

Check the tread for debris or small stones caught in the Pill Pattern; remove them to regain full surface contact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable suede exterior resists skate-related wear
  • High-top silhouette provides essential ankle support
  • Excellent grip provided by the trademarked Pill Pattern sole
  • Comfortable fit due to foam padding in key areas

Cons

  • High-top style offers less ankle flexibility than low-top models
  • Suede material requires specific cleaning techniques to avoid damage
  • Black colourway may show dust or lint more easily than lighter shades

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your DC Crisis 2 High shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: The initial stiff feel of the cupsole will soften after a few sessions of skating or walking. Do not force them to bend rapidly.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede finish.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the deep black colour of the upper.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes are compatible with standard skateboard grip tape and flat pedals on bicycles, though they are optimized specifically for skate decks.
