FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While they feature a performance cupsole and durable leather, they are primarily designed for casual use and light skating. Professional skaters may prefer specific skate-dedicated models.

How do I determine if the 9.5 UK size is correct for me?

Standard sizing applies; however, because of the foam padding, they may feel slightly more snug than non-padded trainers initially.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather, melt adhesives, and ruin the structural integrity of the foam padding.

Does the leather upper require treatment?

Using a standard leather conditioner or water-repellent spray can help preserve the material and protect against minor splashes.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber outsole is designed for high traction and is generally safe for most indoor surfaces, though it is standard practice to check for debris in the tread.

Troubleshooting

Stiff ankle support during initial wear

Loosen the top two eyelets of the laces for the first few days to allow the padded collar to soften and conform to your movement.

Accumulation of dust in the multi-panel seams

Use a dry toothbrush to gently dislodge trapped dirt or debris from the crevices between the leather panels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ankle support due to the high-top profile
  • Durable leather upper material withstands daily wear
  • Highly comfortable foam padding for long-term use
  • Stable base provided by the performance cupsole design

Cons

  • High-top silhouette might feel restrictive to some users
  • Requires a brief break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh-only running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your DC Pure Hi Tops begins with ensuring the correct lacing tension, especially around the padded collar to secure the ankle without restricting blood flow. Compatibility is universal across most casual and street-style outfits, pairing well with denim or relaxed-fit trousers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Regularly brush off loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush to maintain the leather texture.
  2. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the leather entirely.
  3. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
  4. Keep the interior clean by occasionally removing the EVA sock liner and allowing it to air out.
