FAQs
What material are the DC AT-2 Trainers made of?
The uppers are primarily made of black nubuck with white details. They also feature a TPU cage with open mesh windows.
How do the AEROTECH ventilation and airbag heel contribute to comfort?
The AEROTECH system improves airflow to keep feet cool, while the 180-degree airbag in the heel provides significant cushioning and absorbs impact during movement.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The DC AT-2 Trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear, with features like cushioning and ventilation. They are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary support or performance for marathon running.
How should I clean the nubuck material?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner and a slightly damp cloth are recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What is the UniLite midsole?
UniLite is DC Shoes' proprietary lightweight midsole material, designed to provide excellent cushioning and comfort while reducing the overall weight of the shoe.
What sizes are available?
The DC AT-2 Trainers are available in various adult UK sizes. Please check the product listing for specific size availability.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides grip, the nubuck uppers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions may damage the material and affect comfort. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning over time
The airbag and midsole are designed for long-term use, but significant compression may occur with extensive wear. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Foot odor
Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Use odor-absorbing insoles or sprays. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Clean the interior lining if necessary.
Traction feels slippery
Check the outsole for embedded debris. Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. If the sole is significantly worn down, consider replacement.
