FAQs
Do these boots come in other colors?
The provided information specifies these boots are in a 'Black' colour family. Please check product listings for availability of other colors.
What is the Gabor XS fitting?
Gabor XS refers to an 'extra-slim calf fitting' designed for a more tailored and snug fit around the calf. Specific measurements are provided in the product description for different shoe sizes.
How should I determine my correct size, given they run small?
The product description recommends choosing one size larger than your usual size. It's also advisable to check the specific calf circumference measurements provided for your potential size.
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
These boots are made of leather with a cushioned footbed and a flat sole, offering reasonable comfort and warmth. However, they are not specifically designed as insulated winter boots. For extreme cold, consider adding thermal socks.
Can I wear these boots with thin socks?
Yes, these boots can be worn with thin socks. Given the recommendation to size up, wearing them with standard socks should be comfortable.
How do I care for the leather material?
Clean with a damp cloth, condition regularly with a leather conditioner, and consider using a waterproofing spray. Store them properly to maintain their shape and condition.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight, especially in the calf.
Since these boots are noted to run small and have an extra-slim fit, it's recommended to try a size up. If the calf is still too tight, they may not be the best fit for your leg shape.
Difficulty zipping up the boots.
Ensure your trousers or socks are not bunched up around the ankle or calf area. If the boot is the correct size and fit, the zip should glide smoothly once the initial resistance is overcome.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently to restore shine and suppleness.
