Product Information

Full details

The Gabor West trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of retro style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit lies in the combination of genuine leather and suede uppers with a comfortable low rubber sole and removable insoles for personalized fit. A potential caveat is that, being leather, they may require specific care to maintain their appearance.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Gabor West trainers have a width fit of UK C+ (Gabor F), which is generally considered standard to slightly wide. The removable insoles also allow for some adjustment in fit.

Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?

Yes, the trainers feature removable insoles, making it easy to insert custom orthotics or preferred insoles for enhanced comfort and support.

How should I clean the leather and suede upper?

Gently brush off dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe clean. It's recommended to use a protector spray suitable for leather and suede.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The heel height is approximately 2.5cm.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The materials are leather and suede, which are not inherently waterproof. While some protection can be added with sprays, they are best avoided in heavy rain.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of thermoplastic rubber, offering durability and flexibility.

What does the 'West' in the product name refer to?

The 'West' likely refers to the specific model or series name within the Gabor brand, indicating a particular style and design.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from soles

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. Ensure no debris is trapped in the sole pattern.

Laces wearing out or breaking

Replace laces with a similar type and length. Many shoe repair shops or online retailers offer replacement laces.

Discomfort after initial wear

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. If the discomfort persists, consider using the removable insoles for a custom fit or adding an orthotic.

Stains on leather or suede

Address stains promptly using appropriate cleaning methods for leather and suede. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish retro design with attractive stripe and ankle details.
  • Made from quality leather and suede for durability and a premium feel.
  • Comfortable sole and heel height suitable for daily wear.
  • Removable insoles offer flexibility for custom orthotics or improved fit.
  • Versatile colorway pairs well with casual wardrobes.

Cons

  • Leather and suede materials may require specific cleaning and care.
  • May not be suitable for individuals needing high ankle support.
  • Limited color options in this specific product description.
  • Width fit (UK C+ / Gabor F) might not suit all foot shapes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As trainers, the Gabor West requires no complex setup. Simply untie the laces, insert your foot, and re-tie to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. If using a custom orthotic or preferred insole, remove the existing one before inserting your own.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult women. The UK C+ (Gabor F) width fitting is suitable for a standard to slightly wider foot.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the leather and suede:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush away loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material.
  2. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray suitable for leather and suede to guard against water and stains.
  3. Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Stuffing them with paper can help them retain their shape.
