DC Shoes is a American footwear company specializing in shoes for skateboarding as well as snowboarding boots, snowboards, shirts, jeans, hats, and jackets. The company was founded in 1993 and is based in Vista, CA. DC originally stood for 'Droors Clothing Footwear', but since the sale of Droors (which is now defunct), DC no longer has any ties to Droors and is simply DC Shoes. On March 10, 2004, DC Shoes was acquired by Quiksilver. As of March 2009 the firm is for sale.
The company manufactures footwear for all types of extreme sports, including skateboarding, snowboarding, BMX, motocross, rally car racing, and surfing, for men, women, and kids.
