FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the dual adjustable straps allow for a significant amount of customization in fit, making them accommodating for various foot widths.
Can I wear these for long walks?
They are designed for daily city wear. While supportive, they are not intended for high-intensity athletic hiking or marathon walking.
How do I clean the platform sole?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the tread and a damp cloth for the cork-look sides. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Is the sole slippery?
No, the sandals feature a treaded outer sole specifically designed to provide traction on standard urban surfaces.
What is the best way to store these sandals?
Store them in a breathable bag or a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain the condition of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckle tension incrementally until the strap sits snugly against your foot without causing pressure points.
Material scuffs during use
Use a leather-safe cleaner or a soft brush to gently buff out minor surface marks on the straps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gabor sandals, begin by adjusting the buckles to find your optimal tension before initial wear. Since they are crafted from quality materials, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
Regular care is simple: wipe down the straps with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris. For the cork-look platform, avoid abrasive cleaners which may scratch the finish; a gentle brush or dry cloth is usually sufficient to maintain its appearance. Ensure the buckles are free from grit to maintain smooth operation.
