FAQs
What material are the Gabor Oporto sandals made of?
The uppers are made from either high-quality Leather or Nubuck, depending on the specific colour. The lining is made of Microfibre, and the sole is Polyurethane.
What is the width fitting of these sandals?
The Gabor Oporto sandals have a UK D width fitting, which corresponds to the Gabor G fitting, suitable for standard to slightly wider feet.
Can I remove the insoles to use my own orthotics?
No, the insoles are not designed to be removable. This means custom orthotics cannot be inserted directly.
How should I clean my Gabor Oporto sandals?
For leather, use a damp cloth and appropriate leather cleaner/conditioner. For nubuck, use a suede brush or specialized nubuck cleaner. Always check the specific material care instructions provided.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 3.5cm, providing a comfortable lift without sacrificing stability.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
They are designed for a UK D (Gabor G) width fitting, which is generally considered standard to slightly wide. They may not be suitable for very wide feet.
What is the fastening type?
The sandals feature a rip tape (Velcro) fastening, which allows for easy adjustment and a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in new sandals
Leather and nubuck can feel stiff initially. Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to help them break in and mold to your feet. Applying a leather conditioner might also help soften the material.
Rip tape not adhering securely
Ensure the rip tape surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris. If the hook-and-loop fastener has lost its grip, gently brush the hooks and inspect for wear. Some specialized cleaning solutions can help restore tackiness.
Discoloration on leather/nubuck
This can occur due to excessive moisture or improper cleaning. For leather, try a color-restoring conditioner. For nubuck, use a specialized cleaner designed for suede and nubuck. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
