FAQs
What type of material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of leather, with options including nubuck, metallic, and smooth leather finishes.
What is the heel height of the Gabor Ruffle shoes?
The heel height is a low 2cm.
How do I ensure a good fit with the elasticated top line?
The elasticated top line is designed to provide a snug and adaptive fit. Ensure the shoe fits correctly in length and width, and the elastic will help secure it comfortably.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber soles offer some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof and may be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to protect them with appropriate waterproofing sprays if necessary.
What is the width fitting of these shoes?
These shoes feature a UK C+ Standard width fitting, also known as Gabor F.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
The Gabor Ruffle are primarily designed as casual or smart-casual shoes. While stylish, their cut-out design and low heel may not be suitable for very formal events.
How should I clean the different leather finishes?
For smooth leather, use a damp cloth and leather conditioner. For nubuck, use a nubuck eraser and brush. For metallic finishes, use a specialized cleaner for metallic leather. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight on first wear.
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. The elasticated top line should help adapt to your foot shape over time.
Visible creases or scuffs on the leather.
Minor creases are normal for leather. For scuffs, use a matching color shoe polish or a leather conditioner. For nubuck or metallic finishes, use appropriate specialized cleaners.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean and dry. If the issue persists, a cobbler can apply a different type of sole material or add grip enhancers if needed, though the latex rubber is designed for grip.
