FAQs

Can I replace the original insoles with my own orthotics?

Yes, the Gabor Dixie series features removable insoles, making it easy to swap them for your preferred orthotic inserts.

Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

While the 4cm block heel is more stable and comfortable than a standard pump, they are designed primarily for social and office wear rather than long-distance walking.

How do I protect the suede finish?

Use a high-quality suede protector spray prior to your first wear and reapply periodically to help repel water and dirt.

What is the best way to store these heels?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading, preferably in a shoe bag or box to avoid dust accumulation.

Are they true to size?

Gabor footwear generally follows standard sizing; however, since these are slip-ons, ensure you select your usual size for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

The fit feels slightly loose after removing the standard insole

If you are replacing the original insole with a thinner custom orthotic, consider using a slim heel grip to maintain a secure fit.

Surface stains appearing on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser for small marks or a soft suede brush for loose dust; avoid using liquid cleaners which can damage the suede texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stable block heel design for comfort
  • Versatile style suitable for professional and formal wear
  • Removable insoles accommodate orthotics
  • Breathable textile interior lining

Cons

  • Suede material requires protection from rain and moisture
  • Limited to slip-on style without adjustable buckles
  • Professional cleaning recommended for deep stains

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gabor Dixie shoes maintain their longevity, it is recommended to treat the suede exterior with a water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If you intend to use custom orthotics, simply lift the existing removable insole out of the shoe and replace it with your own. For cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the material. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators when drying the shoes if they get damp; instead, stuff them with paper to maintain their shape and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
