FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The DC Shoes Stag trainers offer good durability and grip, making them suitable for casual skateboarding. However, for highly technical or professional skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with specific features might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the black nubuck upper?
Use a specialized nubuck brush or a clean, dry cloth to remove surface dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with a mild, non-alkaline soap or a dedicated nubuck cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the Pill Pattern outsole?
The Pill Pattern outsole is DC Shoes' trademarked tread design, providing enhanced grip and traction on various surfaces.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof shoes. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer additional protection.
What does 'Cupsole construction' mean?
Cupsole construction refers to how the sole is attached to the upper. In this case, the sole is stitched around the upper in a 'cup' shape, offering durability and a supportive base.
How do I care for the gum sole parts?
Gum soles can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the warranty period for DC Shoes Stag trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the official DC Shoes website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear the shoes for a short period to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if insoles are needed.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the outsole tread using a brush or damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be hindering grip.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. For scuffs, use a matching colour polish or a specialist leather eraser.
