FAQs
What is a D+ width fitting?
A D+ fitting is Gabor's label for a wider-than-average fit, providing extra room in the toe box and instep.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles in these boots are generally designed as fixed features, so replacing them may alter the fit.
Are these boots waterproof?
No, they are made of suede, which is porous. You should use a weatherproofing spray to increase resistance to light rain.
How high is the heel?
The heel height is 3cm, providing a slight, comfortable elevation.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No, you can adjust the laces to your preferred tightness once, and then use the side zipper for easy daily entry.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels difficult to move
Check for debris in the teeth or apply a tiny amount of candle wax to lubricate the track.
Suede appears matted or shiny
Use a suede brush in a circular motion to lift the fibers and restore the original texture.
Water spots on the suede
Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, then brush the affected area gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Balban boots remain in top condition, apply a suede-specific protective spray before their first use to guard against moisture and dirt. If the boots become dusty, use a soft suede brush to restore the nap. When cleaning, avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water; instead, use specialized suede cleaning blocks for spot treatments. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or drying out.
