Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Gaveler shoes last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Since the shoes feature a nubuck upper, avoid machine washing, which can damage the texture of the material. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris. For deeper cleaning, utilize a specialized nubuck cleaning solution. For best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the court-style fit is intended to be snug yet comfortable. If you plan to skate in them, consider applying a suede or nubuck protective spray to guard against water and stains before the first use.
