Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the high-quality leather provides some water resistance, they are not classified as waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray.
How do I clean the chunky sole?
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and mud buildup.
Do these boots run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions, but remember that leather may stretch slightly over time.
Where are these boots made?
These boots are crafted in Europe to meet high manufacturing standards.
Can I replace the insoles?
While they feature a cushioned interior, if you require specific orthotics, consult a professional to see if the existing footbed is removable.
Is the leather durable?
Gabor uses premium leather that is highly durable, provided it is cleaned and conditioned regularly.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Apply a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and cycle the zip a few times.
Leather looks dull
Use a clear or blue-tinted leather cream to restore moisture and shine to the material.
Initial discomfort or tight fit
Ensure the internal padding is flat and consider using a shoe stretcher overnight if the fit remains snug after the break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots feature a leather exterior, initial break-in time may be required to achieve the perfect fit. We recommend wearing them with thicker socks initially to help the material soften naturally. To care for your Gabor boots, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or direct heat sources. Use a high-quality leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to keep the blue finish vibrant and prevent the leather from cracking. Always use a shoehorn when putting them on to protect the heel counter from losing its shape.
