Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the wrap-around cup construction and abrasion-resistant rubber are designed for the wear and tear associated with skating.

Does the red colour fade easily?

Like all dyed leather products, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and water to maintain the vibrancy of the red finish.

Do I need to treat the leather before use?

While not strictly necessary, using a leather protector spray can help repel water and stains, extending the life of the material.

Is this shoe true to size?

The DC Pure series is generally standard in sizing, but the extra padding may make them feel slightly more snug than thin fashion sneakers.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal padding is designed to accommodate standard replacement insoles if you require additional arch support.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too stiff when first worn

This is normal for leather-based skate shoes; wear them around the house for a few hours at a time to soften the materials.

Excessive moisture inside the shoe

The shoe uses high-density padding and leather; ensure you wear moisture-wicking socks to assist the mesh lining.

Dirt stuck in the outsole tread

Use a toothpick or a firm brush to dislodge debris from the rubber tread pattern to maintain proper grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality materials ensure long-term durability
  • Excellent ankle support provided by the high-top design
  • Comfortable padding in the tongue and collar
  • Stylish and iconic skate-inspired look
  • Resilient rubber outsole resists premature wear

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period due to the robust construction
  • Heavyweight feel compared to low-profile trainers
  • Less breathable than purely synthetic mesh shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your DC Shoes last as long as possible, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Break-in Phase: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the stiff leather and padding to mold to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the surface. For leather or suede sections, use a specialized cleaning solution designed for the specific material.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading of the red and black pigment.
  4. Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension, but avoid overtightening, as the high-top structure already provides inherent support.
  5. Drying: If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this will damage the adhesive and material.
