FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The DC Gaveler series is generally designed for a standard fit; if you typically wear a UK 5.5 in casual trainers, the sizing should be consistent.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as it can damage the leather and compromise the adhesive integrity of the sole.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some resistance, the shoes are not waterproof; avoid heavy rain to prevent water staining or material degradation.
Do I need to treat the leather before my first wear?
It is a good practice to apply a water-repellent leather protectant spray to provide an initial barrier against dust and moisture.
Are these considered dedicated skate shoes?
While they feature the build quality associated with skate footwear, they are designed as a hybrid for both skating and everyday lifestyle use.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows signs of scuffing
Use a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface scratches and restore the finish.
Shoes feel tight after prolonged wear
Loosen the lacing system, starting from the eyelets closest to the toes, to redistribute pressure across the top of the foot.
Build-up of dirt in the outsole tread
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to remove debris from the rubber grip patterns after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Shoes Gaveler trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: New leather shoes may feel slightly stiff; wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking or drying of the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black finish over time.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly to provide consistent tension across the bridge of the foot for maximum stability.
