FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the DC Gaveler is built with reinforced materials specifically intended to handle the wear and tear of skateboarding.
How do I determine the right size?
The DC Gaveler follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical sneaker size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive bonds in the sole. Always clean by hand.
What is the best way to remove water spots?
Allow the shoe to air dry completely, then use a suede brush to buff the area. Do not use direct heat like a hairdryer.
Does the black color fade quickly?
Suede can fade if exposed to excessive direct sunlight. Proper storage and the use of protective sprays can help maintain the color.
Is the sole flat or arched?
The Gaveler features a classic flat-bottom construction common in skate shoes for better board feel and grip.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Consider using a double-knot or replacing them with higher-friction laces if the issue persists.
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a soft-bristle suede brush to restore the nap and lift away fine particles.
Footbed feels uncomfortable
Ensure the shoe is the correct size. If necessary, replace the stock insole with an aftermarket orthotic insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DC Gaveler shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New suede footwear may feel firm. Wear them for short durations indoors before full-day use to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the material.
- Stain Prevention: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against the elements.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black suede from fading.
