Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Foulardc boots are designed for adults seeking a blend of progressive style and uncompromising comfort for daily wear. Featuring a spacious G-width fit, a practical side-zip entry, and an insulating sole, they provide excellent support for long periods on your feet. While these boots offer exceptional climate control via their micro-lining, users should note that the specific G-width fit may feel too loose for those with very narrow foot profiles.

FAQs
What does G-width mean?
G-width is Gabor's classification for a 'comfort' width, providing extra room for the foot compared to standard fittings.
Can I put my own orthotic insoles in these boots?
Yes, the boots feature a removable insole, making it easy to swap in your preferred custom orthotics.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable and the sole provides insulation, they are not explicitly marketed as waterproof; we recommend using a leather protector spray.
How do I clean the micro-lining?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the interior lining periodically and allow to air dry away from heat.
Is the zipper prone to breaking?
The zipper is designed for daily functional use; ensure you do not force it if it catches on the internal lining or a sock.
Are these suitable for winter wear?
The thick, insulating sole offers good protection against cold surfaces, making them suitable for autumn and mild winter conditions.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or sticks
Gently apply a small amount of clear beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and operate the zipper up and down several times.
Boots feel loose
If the G-width is too wide, consider adding a thin, moisture-wicking flat insole beneath the existing one to snug up the fit.
Scuffs on the leather surface
Clean the area with a damp cloth, let dry, and apply a black shoe cream to buff out minor imperfections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gabor Foulardc boots, follow these guidelines. Upon first wear, ensure the zipper is free of debris to maintain smooth operation. These boots are compatible with most standard orthotic inserts if the original is removed. For care, use a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the black leather supple and crack-resistant. Avoid direct heat sources when drying, as extreme heat can damage both the leather upper and the insulating properties of the sole. Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris to maintain optimal grip.
