Product Information
Full details
The DC Shoes Pure High-Top WC is designed for adult men who value a blend of skate-inspired durability and casual comfort. Featuring a robust leather, nubuck, and suede upper paired with an abrasion-resistant rubber outsole, these trainers provide excellent stability and support for daily wear. While the high-top design offers great ankle protection and a secure fit, potential users should note that the substantial padding and cupsole construction make this a heavier shoe compared to lightweight athletic sneakers.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the cupsole construction and abrasion-resistant rubber outsole are specifically designed to withstand the friction and impact associated with skateboarding.
Are they truly water-resistant?
The materials used offer water resistance, which helps protect against light splashes or rain, but they are not fully waterproof or meant for submersion.
How do I maintain the suede parts?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuff marks. Avoid harsh liquid cleaners.
Do these fit true to size?
DC Shoes generally follow standard UK sizing, but the extra padding in the collar and tongue may make them feel snug initially.
Can I replace the insole?
The EVA sock liner is generally removable, allowing you to swap it out for a custom orthotic insole if needed.
What is the best way to lace these high-tops?
For maximum ankle support, lace through all eyelets. For a more relaxed fit, you can skip the top two eyelets.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot for the laces or replace with slightly textured athletic laces to increase friction.
Stiff feel when first wearing
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather and padding to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Dirt buildup on the suede/nubuck
Use a suede-specific brush to gently lift dirt particles without damaging the nap of the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ankle support due to the high-top design
- Durable materials resistant to daily wear and tear
- Strong traction on most surfaces
- Secure fit provided by the front lace system
- Water-resistant properties for versatile weather use
Cons
- Heavier feel than standard low-profile trainers
- High-top silhouette may require more time to lace up
- Stiffer initial fit due to the protective cupsole construction
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the front lacing system while sitting down to distribute tension evenly across the top of the foot; pulling the laces tight before tucking the tongue will ensure the collar stays securely in place.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the leather or nubuck in water.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material or stiffen the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede if you intend to use the shoes frequently in wet environments.
