FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather is durable and the latex sole provides grip, they are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain.
Can I replace the insole?
The boots feature a microfibre sock construction. While you can insert a thin orthotic, the factory footbed is generally designed to be permanent.
How high is the heel?
The heel height is approximately 2.5 cm, providing a stable, low-profile lift.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally using boot trees to help maintain their shape.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Gabor Bassey is designed with standard fit proportions. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best comfort.
Do the buckles serve a functional purpose?
The buckle is primarily decorative, providing the classic aesthetic associated with the Gabor Bassey series.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff
Apply a tiny amount of candle wax or a dedicated silicone zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper.
Leather looks dull
Apply a thin layer of leather conditioner or polish, then buff with a soft horsehair brush or lint-free cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required for these boots; they are ready to wear out of the box. To maintain the appearance of the leather upper, use a high-quality neutral leather cream periodically to keep the material supple and hydrated. Avoid submerging the boots in water; if they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather. Use a soft cloth to wipe away surface dust after each use to preserve the finish.
