Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the DC Skate Trainers follow standard adult sizing conventions. We recommend ordering your usual sneaker size.

Can I use these for walking or running?

While durable, these are optimized for skating. The stiff sole is designed for board control and may not be comfortable for long-distance running.

How do I best clean the suede or fabric upper?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning brush or a dry cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.

Does the rubber sole provide good grip on non-skate surfaces?

Yes, the high-traction rubber is effective on most flat, dry surfaces like indoor flooring and pavement.

How long will these last with daily skating?

Lifespan depends on intensity, but the reinforced construction is specifically chosen to delay wear from repeated griptape friction.

Troubleshooting

Soles losing traction

Clean the bottom of the rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove dust and griptape debris.

Feeling discomfort after long sessions

Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure lockdown without cutting off circulation, and consider an aftermarket insole if additional arch support is needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior board feel and sensitivity
  • Excellent grip on various surfaces
  • Effective impact absorption for landings
  • Durable design for repetitive use

Cons

  • Specific design may feel stiff for non-skate activities
  • Not intended for long-distance athletic running
  • Requires break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your DC Skate Trainers last as long as possible, avoid machine washing, which can compromise the adhesive strength of the construction. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt or loose griptape residue from the upper. If the soles accumulate debris, wipe them with a damp cloth to restore grip. For the best fit, ensure you wear these with appropriate athletic socks that manage moisture, as this will help maintain the interior cushion's longevity and keep the foot secure within the shoe.
