FAQs
What material are the Gabor West trainers made from?
The uppers are a combination of leather and suede. The lining is leather, and the sole is made of thermoplastic rubber.
Can I wear these trainers if I need orthotics?
Yes, the Gabor West trainers feature removable insoles, making them suitable for use with custom orthotics or alternative insoles for added support and comfort.
What is the width fitting for these trainers?

How high is the heel on the Gabor West trainers?
The heel height is approximately 2.5cm.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The UK C+ (Gabor F) fitting is generally considered a standard to slightly generous width, but it may not be suitable for very wide feet. It is recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a specific suede cleaner can be used. Always protect suede with a suitable spray.
What is the fastening type?
The Gabor West trainers feature a traditional lace-up fastening for a secure and adjustable fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears stained or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner may be required. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather feels stiff after getting wet
Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore suppleness and prevent cracking.
Insole doesn't fit correctly after replacement
Ensure the replacement insole is designed for footwear and is not significantly thicker than the original. Trim if necessary, following the manufacturer's guide for the replacement insole.

Care:
- Uppers: For leather sections, use a leather cleaner and conditioner. For suede, use a suede brush to remove dirt and apply a suede protector spray to guard against stains and water damage. Avoid excessive moisture.

- Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is fully dry before wearing.
