The DC Manual Slip-On Youth is a miniature take on DC’s popular vulcanised slip-on, tailored for kids and young teens who skate (or just play hard!). Modeled after the straightforward design of a Vans Classic but infused with DC’s skate DNA, these shoes feature a durable canvas upper that can stand up to ollie flicks and playground scuffs alike. The low-profile silhouette makes them easy for kids to put on and kick off by themselves – elastic gore inserts on each side of the tongue keep the shoe snug without laces. Inside, there’s soft padding around the collar to prevent any rubbing and a footbed with enough cushioning to absorb impacts from jumps (or running around non-stop). The outsole is where DC’s heritage shines: a vulcanised rubber sole with DC’s trademark Pill Pattern tread, providing excellent grip on grip-tape and traction on various surfaces. Despite being a slip-on, the Manual has a decent heel snugness so it won’t easily fly off during active use. It’s a lightweight, breathable shoe, perfect for summer skating or everyday wear. And since it’s DC, you’ll find a bold logo hit – likely a DC star logo tab on the side or heel, and “DC” molded into the outsole – letting your young one represent a core skate brand. In short, the DC Manual Slip-On Youth combines convenience, style, and skate-ready features, making it a great choice for the grom who’s always on the go (and maybe can’t tie their laces just yet!). Key features:
Youth-sized slip-on skate shoes with sturdy canvas uppers
