User Reviews
Great shoes, very flat and not much arch but they are skater shoes, they need to bend and hug the board and be flexible.My son loves these shoes. I like them because the are great for him to run around in and also look good enough to wear out for a nice family outing.They got covered in mud one day, I took out the laces and washed them in the wash machine with mildly warm water, they came out great....no no no I never put shoes in the dryer, that heat tends to pull a shoe apart and out of shape, so a simple two days of air dry with the tongue pulled out and they looked brand new and ready to go again.They are really better on a slim or narrow foot, just so you know. So if you are a person with a narrow footed child you are in luck to find another brand that will do it for you. :)Hope this review helps you out, I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.Have a great day!!!
This type of shoe normally fits very tight in the toe. Also skateboarding shoes are not known for their arch support. Overall the shoes feel very durable and solid which I have come to expect with most of DC's shoes.
Overview: Very stylish shoes.Pros: Fairly inexpensive shoes from a reputable brand. They are very stylish and fit exactly as expected. The colors look great, and the laces are the perfect length so that they don't hang too low and get stepped on. I wear them without socks, which is perfectly fine and comfortable with these shoes, but they would probably look good with ankle socks as well. They shipped in only two or three days even though I selected Free 5-7 day shipping, which was a great surprise.Cons: Haven't found any yet, but I've had them less than a week. I'll edit this if I run into any.5/5, happy with this purchase.
Very nice shoes and good quality. Just narrower than expected. I bought these as a gift for someone and they can't wear them because they are too tight. I got them the size they wear so maybe go a size up!
Seems this goes too large to be a women's shoe, but anyway, I'm a guy and followed another reviewer's advice to buy a size larger. I wear a 12 but ordered a 13 and it fits great. It's light, breathable, and has a surprising amount of cushion in the sole. Really comfortable. The sides are the tadest bit snug, but I don't think a 12 would've fit cause everything else is spot on.
I'm extremely satisfied with this product. I had a pair of these shoes by Vans and I wanted a similar kind. I must say that this brand is much better. It's a lighter shoe, a lot more comfortable and has a better esthetic shape. I usually wear a 6.5 shoe in women's and bought a 5.5 in mens, they fit perfectly. I will be buying more DCs in the future
Saw DC makes 12 1/2, unlike every single other shoe company I've bought from in the past ten years. I'm size 12 1/2 and had to put up with shoes too big for way too long. They also meet all of my other qualifications. Minimal, available in all black, durable, nice profile. I have a second pair of DC now in another style and will probably not go elsewhere unless I need a style they don't make or other companies start making a 12 1/2.
I bought these sneakers for my husband, and he absolutely loved the,. Appearance wise they are really nice, well-made and fashionable. They are the perfect sneaker to go with any casual or a little dressy outfit, they can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion. He really wanted a comfortable shoe to wear to and from work daily, however even though I got his correct size these were still too small. So in my experience these run small, so we returned them and they did not have the next size up at the time so we purchased another shoe. As long as you can get your proper size I highly recommend (for appearance reasons only). Since these did not fit I can't comment on the comfort level.
