FAQs
What material are the Gabor Ruffle shoes made of?
The Gabor Ruffle shoes feature genuine leather uppers. The linings are a combination of cotton and leather, and the soles are made of latex rubber.
How should I clean the leather upper?
For smooth leather, use a soft, damp cloth. For nubuck or metallic finishes, use specialized cleaners and brushes designed for those materials. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The heel height is approximately 2cm.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These shoes have a UK C+ Standard width fitting, which corresponds to a Gabor F fitting. This is a standard width, and may not be suitable for very wide feet. It is recommended to check specific size guides or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather. Use appropriate waterproofing sprays if necessary, testing first.
What type of outfits do these shoes go well with?
The Gabor Ruffle shoes are very versatile and can be paired with jeans, skirts, dresses, and tailored trousers for both casual and smart-casual occasions.
Do the shoes offer good arch support?
The shoes feature leather in-socks for comfort. While they provide a comfortable base, they are not specifically designed as orthopedic shoes. For additional support, insoles can often be added.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after initial wear
Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot. Ensure you have selected the correct size and width fitting.
Uneven wear on the soles
This could be due to gait. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for your foot type and consider consulting a shoe specialist if concerned.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a suitable leather conditioner or polish according to the leather type (smooth, nubuck, metallic) to restore moisture and shine. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Elasticated top line feels too loose or tight
While designed for a flexible fit, significant discomfort may indicate an improper size. For minor looseness, a heel grip insert might help. For excessive tightness, consider professional stretching if possible.
