This is my first time trying boots from DC … Just like most there other shoes I’ve gotten they’re freaking awesome in person, heck I feel bad just getting them dirty. I definitely see these being good for winter time they are very well insulated which is something to keep in mind if you want to wear these in the summer you’re gonna have some sweaty stink feet!
I have been working in them for 13 hrs just took them off and my feet do not hurt...I mean I have been waring d.c.shoes since 96 so I already knew I was good
Not water proof,not warm but look great and pretend like feet are not cold and wet
I used to wear nothing but DC shoes. Then I had an accident I shattered my ankle now I have rods and screws in it. So I have to wear boots to help support it. As you can imagine I was estactic when I found out DC made boots, but as you see I've tried multiple ones. This seems to be the only one that had the oversized tounge like I've come to love in the DC sneakers. So far so good. I will be wearing them tonight while driving a manual for my 8 hour shift so I'll update as I see fit.
So far so good comfortable no complaints at all
