Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Dahma trainers are designed for adult females seeking a blend of classic and contemporary style for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in their versatile design, featuring a chunky sole and stripe detail that pairs easily with casual outfits. A potential caveat is the D (Gabor G) width fit, which may not suit all foot shapes. These trainers offer a leather and suede upper, microfibre lining, and a thermoplastic rubber sole, with a 3.5cm heel height and lace-up fastening.

FAQs
What type of materials are the Gabor Dahma trainers made from?
The uppers are made from a combination of leather and suede, with a microfibre lining and a thermoplastic rubber sole.
Can I replace the insole with my own?
Yes, the Gabor Dahma trainers feature removable insoles, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or your preferred insoles.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is approximately 3.5cm.
How should I clean the suede sections of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to clean off dirt and maintain the texture. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, always testing on a small area first.
What does 'Width Fit: UK D (Gabor G)' mean?
This indicates the standard width fitting for Gabor women's shoes, often referred to as a 'G' fitting. It is generally considered a medium width, but may not suit individuals with very wide feet.
Are these trainers suitable for formal occasions?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and are best suited for informal settings. They pair well with jeans, casual trousers, skirts, and dresses.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made from thermoplastic rubber, which offers durability and good grip.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are evenly distributed. If the width is the issue, consider if a wider fit is available or use the shoes for short periods to allow for natural stretching.
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole is slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean from any debris. Some new soles may require a brief 'breaking-in' period on rougher surfaces. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider a professional resoling with a different grip pattern if needed.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Standard trainer laces are widely available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup beyond initial wear. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit. If using custom insoles, remove the original ones before inserting your own.
Compatibility:
- Foot Width: Designed with a UK D (Gabor G) width fit. Consider trying them on if you have wider feet, as they may not offer sufficient room.
- Orthotics: Compatible with most standard-sized custom orthotics due to the removable insole feature.
Care:
- Leather: Clean with a damp cloth and use a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying.
- Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required.
- Soles: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lining: The microfibre lining can be wiped gently if needed.
