FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skating?
Yes, the Gaveler features reinforced stitching and a durable suede upper designed to handle the demands of skateboarding.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since they are a padded skate shoe, they may feel snug at first.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the suede material. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable suede, which is standard for high-performance skate footwear.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the laces allow for adjustment, the classic fit is standard. If you have very wide feet, you may find the padded collar firm initially.
Does the skull detailing affect the shoe's performance?
No, the branding and skull detailing are aesthetic features and do not impact the function or durability of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets and adjust the tongue for a more relaxed fit.
Suede is becoming dusty or losing color
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to restore the nap and remove dust. For color fading, a suede-specific restorer spray may be used.
Stitching appears to be fraying after heavy use
Trim the loose threads carefully with small scissors and avoid pulling them, as this can cause the stitch to unravel further.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Gaveler shoes maintain their performance and appearance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations initially to allow the suede and internal padding to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture.
- Stain Removal: For minor stains, use a suede-safe eraser or a damp cloth with a mild cleaner designed for leather goods.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the black material.
- Laces: Periodically check that the laces are tightened properly to maintain structural support for your ankles.
