DC Shoes
PRO SPEC 2.0
Tested and developed by DC drivers Ken Block, Travis Pastrana and Dave Mirra, the Spring 2010 introduction of DC's latest driving shoes, the PRO SPEC 2.0 and 2.0 MID, marks a new level of commitment in top-of-the-line driving shoes. The most unique characteristic of the PRO SPEC 2.0 and PRO SPEC 2.0 MID are their continued use of DC's innovative skateboard shoe technologies and exclusive construction technique that gives all the benefits of vulcanized rubber without sacrificing comfort. DC's Drop-in Cushion System and Heel Gel insert are also integrated into the PRO SPEC 2.0 family for exceptional shock absorption and comfort.
