FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the EVA insole provides significant cushioning, making them comfortable for walking, though they are specifically engineered for skate-related performance.
Can I use these in the rain?
The suede upper is porous and not waterproof; it is best to avoid wet conditions to prevent staining and potential damage to the suede material.
How do I maintain the suede finish?
Keep the suede dry and brush it regularly with a suede-specific brush to maintain the texture and appearance.
What is the primary benefit of the vulcanised sole?
Vulcanised soles provide increased flexibility and 'board feel', which allows skaters to have more precise control over their board.
Do these shoes come with extra lace protection?
Yes, the design includes optional lace protection at the forefoot to prevent wear during technical skating.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the DC Onyx typically fits true to standard UK adult sizing.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying quickly
Utilize the integrated lace protection eyelets to shield the laces from contact with the grip tape.
Difficulty cleaning suede
Avoid water saturation; use a stiff-bristle suede brush to lift dirt and keep the nap looking fresh.
Sole losing grip
Check for debris or dirt embedded in the tread and wipe the bottom with a damp cloth to restore traction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent board feel provided by the vulcanised construction
- High-impact cushioning via the EVA insole
- Reinforced design with lace protection for longevity
- Classic, versatile aesthetic suitable for casual settings
Cons
- Suede material requires careful maintenance compared to synthetic alternatives
- Not waterproof, making them unsuitable for heavy rain
- Design leans towards skate-specific needs which may feel different from standard running shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK adult size, as the Onyx follows traditional DC sizing conventions. When using the optional lace protection, thread your laces carefully through the designated eyelets to maximize coverage over the forefoot.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid machine washing to prevent damaging the suede material.
- Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris after use.
- For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a light cloth dampened with a specialized solution, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or stiffening.
