FAQs

What does the C+ width fitting mean?

A C+ fitting is slightly wider than a standard 'D' fitting, offering more room in the forefoot area for enhanced comfort.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

While the manmade sole provides grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. Avoid wearing in heavy rain to protect the longevity of the leather.

How do I ensure the correct size for the Vapore Met. series?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing. If you have worn Gabor footwear before, we recommend sticking to your usual size.

Is the heel block-style or stiletto?

The Vapore Met. features a refined heel shape that offers more stability than a traditional stiletto while maintaining a sleek silhouette.

Can I use an insert or orthotic with these shoes?

Yes, due to the C+ width, there is often sufficient space to accommodate a thin, three-quarter length orthotic or cushioned insole.

Troubleshooting

Heel feels slightly loose during walking

Consider using a stick-on heel grip or insole to fill excess volume and improve heel retention.

Leather feels stiff upon first wear

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short 30-minute intervals around your home to soften the material.

Surface scuffs on the bronze finish

Use a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather conditioner designed for metallic finishes; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather upper material
  • Sophisticated aesthetic suitable for various formal settings
  • Tailored C+ width fitting for improved comfort
  • Durable and stable manmade sole

Cons

  • 8cm heel may be too high for all-day wear for some users
  • Leather requires specific maintenance to prevent scuffing
  • Not intended for walking long distances

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. We recommend wearing them indoors for short periods before a major event to allow the leather to naturally contour to your foot shape.
  • Compatibility: The C+ width is designed to fit a standard UK size 8 foot comfortably. It is recommended to pair these with hosiery or thin socks if you are between sizes to ensure a secure fit.
  • Care: Maintain the leather upper by wiping gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Use a leather-appropriate cream periodically to keep the material supple and maintain the metallic finish.
