FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
These trainers are designed for casual and lifestyle use. While they feature durable materials, they are not specifically engineered for the high-impact stresses of professional, daily skateboarding.
How do I keep the leather clean?
Use a dry brush to remove dust and a lightly dampened cloth for deeper cleaning. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
Do these high-tops offer good ankle support?
Yes, the foam-padded collar and high-top structure are specifically designed to provide additional ankle support and a snug, secure fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics for additional support.
Are these true to size?
DC Shoes generally follow standard sizing; however, since these have a wrap-around fit construction, some users prefer a half-size up if they wear thicker socks.
Troubleshooting
Inner lining feels damp
The mesh lining is breathable, but if moisture accumulates, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry completely.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or look for alternative lacing techniques designed to increase friction.
Scuff marks on the leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a matching shoe polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Shoes last, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Because the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the material and cause warping. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for stains. For the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference after putting the shoe on, taking advantage of the wrap-around construction. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally at room temperature—avoid using heaters or blow dryers.
