DC Command FX Review

Well time for another great shoe to review today it will be another one of my favorites the DC Command FX

This shoe is great all aspects about it are wonderful, except for skateboarding. Although it has a nice feel to it when boarding i found they do not take very kindly to the wear and tear of boarding life.

Style. The style of these shoes color combos, patterns etc aside are very catchy to the eye. When i first seen these shoes it was a friend of mine who had bought them and i could not take my eyes off of them all night long they are very nice and catchy.

The different color combinations make it easy to find a pair that will match your wardrobe the different patterns give them that extra edge, there is a couple of different models of this shoe with subtle differences but all in all the styling of this shoe is great. I think they used the iconic court graffik as an inspiration for these with the well known offset DC logo wrapping around the back of them. It is easy to rate the style on these shoes because they come in such wide color combos and patterns you can find a pair that will make anyone happy so i can easily give this model a style rating of 5.

Comfort. The comfort of these shoes is also another plus they hug your feet when you wear them almost like the thickness of the tongue and material are pillows hugging your feet. The air bag in the heel also makes impact when boarding easy to handle so a day of boarding doesnt wreak havoc on your heels. Unlike some shoe company’s and other models in the DC line they stuck with the thick tongue and thats one thing i really like. comfort rating for these shoes is a 4.5 and only because a person with a wider foot i dont think would find these shoes as comfortable as a person with normal or narrow feet.

Durability. The durability of these shoes is questionable, i found mine not really stand up to use for skateboarding my grip wore out very quickly and it started to separate from the shoe. Also the laces are those like round style laces that snap easily if you have to tie your shoes every time you wear them, but i did buy another pair because i liked the style and look of them so much and i only used them to walk in and they have not given me any problems at all. The durability rating is kind of hard to give on these shoes so i will do it like this. if you are going to use them for boarding the durability rating is a 2 if you are going to use them for just walking then it would be a 4. i would suggest buying normal style laces if another pair didn’t come with them,  that way you have a extra set incase they originals snap.

Price. these are on the higher end of the price scale i think when i purchased mine they cost me $110 but i do know that there is cheaper ones now that are color combo only the patterned ones are a little more expensive and then there is the ken block signature etc that run a little more. But taking into account the range of selection on style and the comfort level and durability i would say that they are worth it if you just walk in them but still a bit pricey. price rating i would have to give a 3.5 only because iv seen some equally nice shoes cheaper with different brands, but there is a lot of times sales on later models (you can find the 2012 version for cheaper then the 2013 etc)

overall rating 4

Price 3.5

Style 5

Comfort 4.5

Durability (skateboarding) 2 (walking) 4
