FAQs
What material are the Gabor Oporto sandals made of?
The uppers are typically made of either Leather or Nubuck, depending on the color. The lining is microfibre, and the sole is polyurethane.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Gabor Oporto sandals have a UK D (Gabor G) width fitting, which is designed for standard to slightly wider feet. They may not be suitable for individuals needing extra-wide fittings.
Can I replace the insoles?
No, the insoles are not removable in the Gabor Oporto model.
How do I adjust the fit?
The sandals feature a rip tape fastening on the straps, allowing you to easily adjust the tightness for a customized fit. Inside elasticated gussets also contribute to flexibility.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 3.5cm.
How should I clean my leather Oporto sandals?
For leather uppers, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning and apply a leather conditioner periodically. For nubuck, use a specialized brush and cleaner.
Are these sandals waterproof?
These sandals are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from leather or nubuck and are best suited for dry conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Rip tape losing grip
Ensure both the hook and loop sides of the rip tape are clean. Brush away any lint or debris. If the grip is significantly worn, professional repair might be needed.
Discomfort from rubbing
Ensure the rip tape is adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Check for any small stones or debris trapped in the straps. Wearing with thin socks initially can help break them in.
Squeaking noise
A small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch can sometimes be applied to the insole or between sole layers if the squeak originates from there. Ensure the sole is clean and dry.

Care:
