DC Stag Shoes - Black/Gum

I have been wearing DC stag trainers for about 10 years, and it looks like the inevitable reduction in quality has snuck in.

In the past (I’ve have about 8-9 pairs of these) they just fit me and away I went. But this pair have raise stiching on the inside at the bottom of the tongue which pushes into my feet on both side. I think over time they will ‘bed in’ but it’s disappointing.

Also to note, the gum soles are very dark compared to the pictures (and the last pair I had).

Over all, still look ok and seem to be strong. Time will tell.
