Troubleshooting

Tongue feels uncomfortable or slides to the side

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the tongue loop to activate the tongue centering system.

Surface scuffs appearing on leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs.

Outsole losing traction

Check the tread for embedded pebbles or debris and clean the bottom with a damp brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your DC Shoes Manteca 4, avoid fully submerging them in water, as this can damage the leather and adhesive components. For routine cleaning, wipe the leather exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the rubber outsole. Always store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading. Ensure the laces are securely tightened to engage the tongue centering system properly.
