DC Pure Review

The DC Pure

I Figured i would do a review on one of the most affordable skate shoes that has a wide selection of different color combos and patterns that pretty much anyone could afford.

Style. The shoe itself if only a design that is one color is pretty minimalist looking and not very attractive. But rest assured if you can only find one or two different looking styles of this model at your local store go online and you will find tons of different colors, color combos, and patterns, these shoes have a very big selection of combo’s for the person looking for certain colors or looking for a cheap pair of shoes to match certain clothes only. The design of the shoe itself is not very catchy the pair i bought was just one color (grey) but i bought them on sale and just for winter so i wouldnt wreck my more expensive pairs from the snow and road salt. the style rating i am giving these shoes is not based on the design of the shoe but based on how many different color combo’s u can get 4.5

Comfort. I was quite surprised on how the comfort level of these shoes when i started to wear them i didnt think i would like them as much because i like the DC shoes that have the thick tongue n these dont. You cant take out the in sole or at least in the pair i got i couldnt so you cannot put a better in sole in them and that was my only complaint about them, The in sole after wearing them for awhile compresses and if your feet sweat the in sole absorbs the sweat and doesnt really dry out completely so you end up getting damp socks your next long walk. But for the price these shoes deserve a comfort rating of 4

Durability. I bought these shoes for winter wearing so i would not wreck my good shoes from road salt and snow etc, And thru the full winter and up until today i still have them and still wear them on a daily basis when i got to do something i dont want to wear more expensive pair in eg mowing the lawn or bmxing. I have not worn these shoes to board so i cannot say how they stand up to the rigours of board use. But as i said in the comfort part the one draw back is the in sole kind of compressing and holding moister for along time. But being as i bought these shoes for winter and they lasted and are still in more then good shape i would give them a durability rating of 4.5

Price. The price of these shoes when i purchased them was 40$ thru a sale DC was holding for this specific model. I had signed up for DC’s newsletter and randomly i will get emails about limited time sales etc and these were one of the sale items i purchased that way. I dont know what they cost right now but i know if you look online not just on DC website but others you will find them on sale or for around 40$ usually with a decent selection of colors. For how long they have lasted me with abusive wearing, and how many different styles you can purchase the price point on these shoes is perfect for someone looking for a cheap pair of shoes that are reliable or for a parent looking for a cheaper pair of shoes for a kid with still growing feet. All this taken into account the price rating is 5

overall 4.5
