Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Oporto sandal is designed for adult women seeking stylish and comfortable everyday footwear. Its key benefit lies in the adaptable fit, achieved through rip tape fastening and elasticated gussets, ensuring a secure and personalized feel. A potential consideration is the fixed insole, which means custom orthotics may not be compatible. This sandal features leather or nubuck uppers, a microfibre lining, and a durable polyurethane sole with a 3.5cm heel height.

FAQs
What material are the Gabor Oporto sandals made from?
The uppers are made from either high-quality leather or nubuck, depending on the specific colour of the sandal. The lining is microfibre, and the sole is polyurethane.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
No, the Gabor Oporto sandals feature fixed insoles and do not have removable ones. Therefore, they are not suitable for users who need to insert their own custom orthotics.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandal?
The fit can be adjusted using the rip tape (hook and loop) fastening on the straps. The inside elasticated gussets also provide additional flexibility.
What is the heel height of the Gabor Oporto sandal?
The heel height is approximately 3.5cm, offering a comfortable lift for everyday wear.
What is the width fitting for these sandals?
The Gabor Oporto sandals have a UK D width fitting, which corresponds to a Gabor G fit, suitable for standard to slightly wider feet.
How should I clean my Gabor Oporto sandals?
Clean leather uppers with a leather cleaner and conditioner, and nubuck with specialized products and a suede brush. Wipe the microfibre lining with a damp cloth and air dry. Clean the sole with a damp cloth.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
They are designed with a UK D (Gabor G) width fitting, which is generally considered standard to slightly wide. The adjustable rip tape and elastic gussets also help to accommodate different foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Rip tape not holding securely
Ensure the rip tape surfaces are clean and free from lint or debris. Gently brush the hook and loop surfaces to restore their grip.
Discomfort from elasticated gussets
While designed for flexibility, ensure the straps are not over-tightened. The elastic should provide a gentle stretch, not dig into the foot.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole (if possible without removal) or between the sole and upper. Ensure no part of the shoe is rubbing against itself.
Leather/Nubuck appearing dry or scuffed
Refer to the Care instructions. Use appropriate leather conditioner or a nubuck care product to restore moisture and appearance. For scuffs on leather, a colored polish might be needed.
Pros and Cons

- Adjustable and secure fit with rip tape and elastic gussets.
- High-quality leather or nubuck materials for durability.
- Comfortable microfibre lining for breathability.
- Stylish open-toe design suitable for various occasions.
- Slight heel height offers comfort for extended wear.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Gabor Oporto sandals require no specific setup beyond putting them on and adjusting the fastening.
Compatibility: These sandals are designed for adult women with a standard to slightly wider foot width (UK D / Gabor G fit). While the design is accommodating, the fixed insoles mean they are not directly compatible with custom orthotics that require removal of the original insole.
Care:
- Uppers: For leather, use a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a suede brush. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
- Lining: Wipe the microfibre lining gently with a slightly damp cloth if needed. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sole: Clean the polyurethane sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect from dust and scratches.
