FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is typically made from a combination of leather and canvas. The specific composition might vary slightly depending on the colorway. Some variations may also use nubuck or suede.
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While designed with skate-inspired aesthetics and featuring a durable rubber outsole for grip, they are primarily intended for casual wear. For serious or professional skateboarding, specialized skate shoes might offer more advanced features.
How should I clean the gum sole?
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to wipe away dirt. For tougher scuffs, a rubber sole cleaner or a magic eraser can be used gently.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The trainers feature a foam-padded collar and tongue for comfort and support. However, they do not have specialized built-in arch support features. If significant arch support is needed, consider using insoles.
What is the warranty period for DC Shoes?
Typically, DC Shoes offer a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details can usually be found on the official DC Shoes website or with the product documentation.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. While the leather components offer some resistance, the canvas sections and overall construction are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. It is best to avoid wearing them in prolonged wet weather.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by DC Shoes and measure your foot length. Compare your measurement to the UK sizing listed. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box without the shoe feeling loose.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness. If discomfort persists, check if the size is appropriate.
Soles are slippery
Clean the rubber outsole with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the shoes are dry before use on potentially slick surfaces.
Discoloration on leather or canvas
Wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner appropriate for the material type and follow product instructions carefully.
Fraying laces
Replace the laces with a similar type and length. DC Shoes often uses flat laces for their trainers.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are suitable for general casual wear. They are not specialized for extreme sports but offer good everyday functionality.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For leather and canvas sections, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a soft brush, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Lining: Allow the interior to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
