DC skate shoes are not designed for running, which is a fairly significant aspect of parkour, since you have to run in order to maintain enough speed to jump up and over obstacles, walls, gaps, etc. Parkour requires shoes that will not shift around a lot, and therefore skate shoes, which do not fit as tightly as, say, running shoes, might not be the best choice. In my opinion, a set of trail running shoes would be better because they offer a snug fit as well as a more aggressive tread pattern, which will minimize slips and falls. Skate shoes do not typically offer very good tread. Trail runnning shoes are also lighter and more flexible, which also seems better for parkour.
