FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. Leather can be treated with waterproofing sprays, but care should be taken as this may alter the appearance or breathability of the material.
Can I wear these boots in snow?
While the microfiber lining offers warmth, the boots are not designed as snow boots. They are best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy snow or ice.
How do I clean the microfiber lining?
The microfiber lining can typically be spot cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the lining is completely dry before wearing.
What is the Hovercraft sole made of?
The Hovercraft sole is an air-cushioned sole designed for shock absorption. Specific material composition is not detailed, but it's engineered for comfort and lightness.
What is the main advantage of the extra forefoot width?
The extra width provides more room in the toe box, which can significantly improve comfort for individuals whose feet tend to swell or who find narrow shoes constricting.
What size should I order if I'm usually a UK 3.5?
Refer to Gabor's specific sizing chart for this model if available. Generally, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for boots, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can the decorative stitching be easily damaged?
The decorative stitching is part of the boot's design and is generally durable. However, avoid snagging the boots on sharp objects to prevent damage to the stitching or the leather.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight in the toe area.
The boots are designed with extra width in the forefoot. If they still feel tight, consider wearing thinner socks or ensure the insole is correctly seated. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Clean the boots with a soft cloth. Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. For scuffs, use a matching color shoe polish and buff gently.
Insole is not sitting flat.
Remove the insole and ensure there is no debris underneath. Reseat the insole firmly, making sure it lies flat against the bottom of the boot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before the first wear.
Compatibility: The removable insole allows for the use of custom orthotics or insoles if needed. The general fit is designed for adult women, with extra width provided in the forefoot.
Care: To maintain the quality of the leather, it is recommended to clean the boots regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Protect the leather from excessive moisture and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid direct heat to dry wet boots, as this can damage the leather.
