Product Information
Full details
The DC Shoes Stag Skate Trainers are designed for adult men who need a reliable, comfortable shoe for both skateboarding and casual daily wear. Combining a durable leather and suede upper with a sturdy rubber cupsole, these trainers offer excellent support and protection; however, users should note that the substantial padding requires a brief break-in period to achieve maximum flexibility.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the DC Shoes Stag typically follows standard UK sizing, though the internal padding may make them feel snug initially.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable, they are designed as skate trainers and lack the specific ergonomic support required for distance running.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
Use a mild soap and a soft brush to scrub the rubber sides, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the leather and suede construction is not waterproof; avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent staining.
What is the benefit of the cupsole?
The cupsole provides a more rigid, supportive, and durable structure compared to vulcanized soles, offering better protection for feet.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Consider using a double knot or replacing the stock laces with high-friction cotton laces.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap of the material and restore the texture.
Stiff feel during first wear
Wear them indoors for short intervals for 2-3 days to allow the internal foam padding to mold to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Shoes Stag trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are tightened comfortably to secure the padded collar against the ankle. Do not over-tighten, as this may restrict blood flow.
- Cleaning: Since the upper is made of suede and leather, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede panels and a damp cloth to wipe down leather sections.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive in the cupsole from degrading and to keep the suede from fading.
- Maintenance: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping.
