FAQs

What materials are the DC Shoes Court Graffik made from?

The upper is constructed from a combination of nubuck, suede, and leather. The lining is textile, and the outsole is rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

The Court Graffik is designed with skate-inspired features like a durable cupsole and good grip, making them suitable for casual skating and street use. For advanced or professional skateboarding, dedicated technical skate shoes might offer more specialized performance.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a soft brush or cloth are recommended. Avoid using water excessively on suede.

What does 'cupsole construction' mean?

Cupsole construction refers to a method where the outsole is stitched or cemented to the upper in a cup-like shape. This typically provides durability, support, and cushioning.

Do these shoes offer good ventilation?

Yes, the shoes feature a lightweight mesh tongue and perforated vent holes in the upper to promote airflow and keep feet cool.

What is the 'pill pattern tread'?

The pill pattern tread is DC Shoes' trademarked outsole design, known for providing excellent grip and durability on various surfaces, both for skateboarding and walking.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole provides some traction, the suede and leather upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and ensure they are evenly distributed. If still tight, consider the possibility of an incorrect size or a break-in period.

Reduced grip on the sole

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and brush to remove accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.

Discoloration on suede or leather

Use a specific cleaner designed for suede or leather, following the product instructions carefully. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Stiff or uncomfortable ankle collar

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly around the ankle. Gentle flexing of the shoe may help soften the padding over time.
