Product Information
Full details

With a focus on durability and board feel, they provide excellent daily comfort for city life, though the low-profile design may lack the heavy arch support found in specialized running sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are skate-inspired trainers designed for casual wear and skateboarding. They do not have the high-performance support required for long-distance running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The DC Gaveler follows standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size to ensure comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the trainers. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Are these shoes good for wet weather?
While the materials are durable, they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a textile-safe water repellent spray if you plan to wear them in light rain.
What is the primary material of the Gaveler series?
The Gaveler series uses a combination of durable textiles and high-quality reinforcements designed for skate-inspired performance.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel stiff after initial wear.
The materials need time to adapt to your foot. Wear them for short walks daily until the fabric and sole break in.
Surface stains appearing on the grey fabric.
Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash.
Laces constantly coming untied.
Ensure you are using a double knot if the factory laces are smooth, or consider replacing them with textured cotton laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Gaveler Trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry only. Never place your trainers near a radiator or heat source, as this can warp the sole and damage the adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Lacing: Replace laces periodically if they show signs of fraying to maintain the structural integrity of the shoe's closure.
