FAQs
What material are the Gabor Ruffle shoes made of?
The upper is made of leather, available in nubuck, metallic, and smooth finishes. The linings are cotton with leather insocks, and the soles are latex rubber.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 2cm.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These shoes have a UK C+ Standard (Gabor F) width fitting, which is considered a standard to slightly generous width. They may not be suitable for very wide feet.
How should I clean the nubuck version of these shoes?
For nubuck leather, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and a suede brush to maintain the texture and remove dirt. Avoid using water-based cleaners or conditioners meant for smooth leather.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber soles offer some grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather.
What kind of outfits do these shoes go well with?
The Gabor Ruffle shoes are very versatile and can be paired with jeans, skirts, dresses, and other casual attire.
Do the shoes have arch support?
The shoes feature leather insocks for comfort, but they do not have specific built-in arch support. Orthotic insoles can often be accommodated if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods indoors to allow them to adapt to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size as they are a C+ width fitting.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and sock. Try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole, or ensure the insole is properly seated.
Discoloration on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner appropriate for the specific leather finish (smooth, nubuck, metallic). Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
