FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend applying a suede-safe water repellent spray to protect against light moisture.
Can I put my own orthotic insoles inside?
Yes, the Gabor Tide boots feature removable insoles, making them suitable for accommodating most standard custom orthotics.
What is the D+ fit?
The D+ designation refers to Gabor's wider-than-average fit, providing more volume and width across the forefoot for additional comfort.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove surface dust. For persistent stains, use a suede cleaning block specifically designed for nubuck and suede materials.
Can the heels be replaced?
As with most quality footwear, a professional cobbler can replace the heel tips once they wear down through normal use.
Do these boots run true to size?
They generally align with standard UK sizing, though the D+ width may make them feel more spacious than standard width boots.
Troubleshooting
Side zip becomes stiff or sticks
Check the track for trapped fabric or debris. Gently rub a candle or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to restore smooth movement.
Water spots on suede
Allow the boots to dry completely, then use a suede eraser or brush to gently lift the nap and blend out the watermark.
Inner lining feeling damp
Remove the insole to allow the footbed to air out thoroughly and consider using a shoe deodorizer insert if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal use, ensure you treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. To maintain the boots, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material. If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the suede to harden. The side zip should be operated carefully; avoid forcing it if any debris is caught in the teeth to preserve the longevity of the fastening mechanism.
