DC Shoes Company Review and Buying Guide:DC Shoes was founded in Vista, Ca in 1993 and is known primarily as a footwear company. They are best known for making shoes for extreme sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, BMX, motorcross, surfing, and car racing. The company was started by Ken Block and Damon Way when it was originally called "Eightball". Due to some legal problems with a man in Seattle who claimed to own the rights to that name they changed the name to DC Shoes and the rest is history. Originally they only made t-shirts to be sold in skate shops, but over time they realized there was a huge market for cool, hip clothes that kids and adults could both wear. Now it's common to see DC apparel on toddlers, babies, moms, teenagers, and even grown men. DC merchandise is actually pretty cheap when you compare it with other clothing manufacturers as we found shirts for under $15 and shoes selling for about $40 on average. We tried to research a wide variety of DC apparel and hope you will find our reviews helpful as you search for those perfect shoes or new t-shirt.
DC Skateboarding Shoes:DC Shoes Co. is known for making quality merchandise, but it's really their reputation for making skateboarding shoes that has made them a household name. When I was a kid Vans was the big brand name that we all had to have in order to be accepted as a skateboarder, but back then a pair of "skate shoes" was fairly expensive. DC Shoes makes some skateboarding shoes that are reasonably priced like their DC Court Graffik Men's Skate Shoe that sells for between $27 and $55. The price you pay just depends on the style and color of the shoe that you want so shop carefully. The DC Court Graffik Shoes are made from top quality materials and have the DC logo plastered across the side of the sneaker. The shoes have a sticky rubber cup-sole that provides foot sensitivity and board control for anybody who rides a skateboard. This shoe received rave reviews online and is a big seller for DC shoes USA. Another popular shoe that DC makes for skateboarding is the DC Court Mens Shoe that we found for sale at www.shoesonashoestring.com. The shoe is all white except for the DC logo in black that sits on the side of the shoes. These sneakers have a sticky rubber bottom for extra ground contact, wear, and added flex while skating. They were on sale for just $20.00 so hurry and stop by their website.
DC Shoes Clothing & Apparel:DC Shoes might be known as a shoe company because their official name is DC Shoe Co USA, but the reality is they make all kinds of clothing items. They design and sell shirts, pants, shoes, hats, hoodies, and shorts. With the help of celebrities like Travis Barker, Mike Shinoda, Lil Wayne, and Adam Sandler wearing their merchandise it looks like you can count on DC Shoes to be around a while. Their apparel is reasonably priced with hats going for about $20 and their shirts selling for about $25 each. DC Shoes makes tons of cool apparel so we just reviewed a few of their best items out on the market today. You can find the official DC Shoes website at www.dcshoes.com, but they also have a cool page on myspace with a custom layout so be sure to check that out also.
DC Shoes For Men & Women:If you have turned 20 or 30 years old recently don't worry, you are still Young enough to look cool in some DC Shoes. Nowadays adults are wearing shoes by designers that even their kids think are cool and trendy so let's look at some great DC Shoes available for adults. The DC Pure SE Womens Shoe is a comfortable shoe that is specifically made for a woman (with its fit and design). These shoes also have foam padding and a sticky rubber sole (for traction) that make them a good buy at $59.95. Another great pair of shoes by DC for women are the DC Tracer Court Shoes that sell for $24.97. The Tracer sneaker make any mom feel at home while they watch their kids in a skatepark or wherver, the white and green shoes have a nice custom look also. One of our favorite DC Shoes for men are the Alliance Skate Shoe that come in a clean white and black color scheme. This shoe is made tough enough for the guy who skates all day, but at night wants a good looking pair of sneakers to wear out. The Alliance Skate Shoe has a sticky sole and pill pattern grip bottom to help feel your skateboard at all times (important for any skater). The Men's DC Smith Shoes are another popular product that they make for the active adult male. The Smith model is available in sizes 8.5 - 13 and almost has a checkerboard look to it, but like all DC Shoes these are meant for comfort and durability. These shoes are on sale for $64.99 at shoes.com along with many other great deals.
DC Shoes For Kids:DC Shoes Company makes a wide selection of shoes for kids that have a unique style and look to them.
