Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Pepe Trainers are designed for adult women who prioritize a balance of sophisticated style and ergonomic comfort in their daily footwear. These leather sneakers offer an excellent blend of support and versatility for urban commuting or casual weekend activities, though users should note that the integrated 10 mm wedge heel provides a slight lift that differs from standard flat trainers.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long walks?
Yes, the combination of a cushioned lining and a flexible rubber sole makes them well-suited for walking, though they are primarily casual fashion trainers.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Because the factory insoles are removable, you can easily swap them for custom orthotic inserts.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth for regular wiping. Avoid soaking the leather, and always let it air dry away from direct heat.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Gabor footwear generally follows standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, ensure you choose the correct width fitting if available.
Does the 10 mm wedge affect balance?
No, the 10 mm wedge is very subtle and is designed to provide ergonomic support rather than a high-heel effect.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking
Check for debris in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.
Insole feels worn or loses cushioning
Since the insole is removable, you can replace it with a new Gabor-compatible insole or an aftermarket orthotic.
Leather surface appearing dull
Use a quality leather conditioning cream to restore moisture and shine to the exterior.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Gabor trainers in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Insole Maintenance: Remove the leather insole regularly to air out the interior and clean the insole surface.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Zippers: If the side zipper becomes stiff, apply a small amount of clear wax or graphite to the teeth to restore smooth operation.
