Full details
The Gabor Wisdom trainers are designed for adult women seeking a chic and casual footwear option that offers both style and comfort. Their key benefit is the versatile design, combining a textured chunky platform sole for added height with practical zip and lace-up fastenings for a secure and easy fit. A potential caveat to consider is the C+ (Gabor F) width fitting, which may not suit all foot shapes.

FAQs
What material are the Gabor Wisdom trainers made of?
The Gabor Wisdom trainers primarily feature uppers made of soft, rich leather. Some variations may use suede. The lining is also leather, and the sole is synthetic.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing it on a small, hidden area first. Avoid soaking the leather.
What is the heel height of the Gabor Wisdom trainers?
The heel height is approximately 3.5cm, provided by the textured chunky platform sole.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Gabor Wisdom trainers come with removable insoles, allowing you to insert your own custom insoles or orthotics if needed.
What does 'UK C+ Standard (Gabor F) Width Fitting' mean?
This refers to Gabor's specific width sizing. C+ Standard (or F fitting) is designed to accommodate a slightly wider foot than a standard fitting, providing more comfort for many women.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not specifically designed for heavy rain. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions and ensure leather is properly treated and dried if it gets damp.
How do the dual zip and lace fastenings work together?
The lace-up fastening allows you to adjust the fit across the top of your foot, while the zips on either side provide a quick and easy way to get the shoes on and off once the laces are set to your preference.
Troubleshooting
Zips are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zip up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zip lubricant to the teeth of the zip and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip.
Laces feel uncomfortable or rub.
Adjust the lacing pattern. Consider replacing the laces with a softer material or a different type of lace if the current ones are too stiff.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a leather conditioner suitable for the colour of your trainers to moisturize the leather. For scuffs, a matching colour leather cream or polish may help to conceal them. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Platform sole feels unstable.
Ensure the trainers are the correct size and width for your feet. The platform design is intended for stability, but an incorrect fit can affect this. Check for any debris lodged in the sole's texture.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather Uppers: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid excessive water.
- Suede Care (if applicable): If your model features suede, use a suede brush to maintain texture and remove dry dirt. Suede-specific cleaners and protectors are recommended.
- Sole Maintenance: Wipe the synthetic sole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the sole's texture.
- Zip and Lace Care: Periodically check zips for smooth operation and laces for wear. Lubricate zips if they become stiff.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
