FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they are manufactured to standard UK children's sizing guidelines.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as the mechanical action of the machine can degrade the structural integrity and adhesives of the shoes.

Are these suitable for flat feet?

The supportive structure provides a baseline level of stability, but consult with a podiatrist if your child requires specific orthopedic support.

How long should they last?

Longevity depends on frequency and intensity of use, but the durable materials are designed to outlast standard casual trainers under skating conditions.

Does the suede or material get damaged by water?

While durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or soaking can damage the upper materials; it is best to avoid use in wet weather.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during initial wear

Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and wear them for short periods around the house to help the materials stretch and conform to the foot.

Accumulated dirt on the outsole affects grip

Use a stiff, dry brush to dislodge pebbles or compacted dirt from the tread pattern to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your DC Skate Shoes maintain their performance, perform a quick check of the laces before each use to ensure a secure, snug fit. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after skating. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging them in water or using harsh detergents, which can compromise the adhesive materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
