FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school sports?
Yes, their durable construction and cushioned support make them a great choice for general physical education and recess activities.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Washing machines can damage the adhesive and the air cushioning unit; hand cleaning is the preferred method.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, the DC Command trainers typically fit standard UK sizing, but if you prefer wearing thicker sports socks, you may consider a half-size up.
What is the purpose of the Pill Pattern on the sole?
The signature DC Pill Pattern is designed to provide multi-directional traction, offering superior grip and stability on various terrains.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal EVA insole can be removed if you need to insert specialized orthopedic or custom insoles.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While the leather is water-resistant against light moisture, the shoes are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and allow the leather to stretch naturally with wear.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread pattern
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to remove debris from the Pill Pattern grooves for optimal grip.
Minor squeaking during walking
This is often due to friction between the insole and the shoe interior; removing the insole and adding a tiny amount of baby powder can resolve this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Command trainers stay in prime condition, follow these simple maintenance steps:
- Break-in: Wear them for short periods during the first few days to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher stains on the leather, use a mild leather cleaner.
- Drying: Never place shoes in a dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather and damage the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or losing shape.
