Full details
These Gabor ankle boots are designed for adult women seeking stylish and comfortable footwear. The key benefit is the combination of soft nappa leather, a padded insole, and a practical side zip for easy wear, making them suitable for everyday use. A potential caveat to consider is that sizes might be displayed differently on the box or label (US/Euro vs. UK), so it's essential to try them on before returning.

FAQs
What type of leather are these boots made from?
These boots are made from soft nappa leather, known for its smooth texture and suppleness.
How do I ensure I get the correct UK size?
It is recommended to try the boots on before returning them. The box or label might display US or Euro sizes which can differ from UK sizing. Focus on the fit when trying them on.
Can I wear these boots in wet weather?
While the profiled sole offers some grip, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend treating them with a leather protector spray for increased water resistance and allowing them to dry naturally if they get wet.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 5 cm.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The description mentions a comfortable textile lining and soft nappa leather, suggesting a degree of flexibility. However, for specific width fittings, it's best to consult Gabor's sizing guides or try them on.
How should I clean and maintain the leather?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner suitable for nappa leather to keep the material in good condition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Is there an alternative way to fasten the boots besides laces?
Yes, these boots feature a practical side zip fastening for easy on and off, in addition to the lace-up design.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight on arrival
Nappa leather will soften and mold to your foot with wear. Try wearing them around the house with thin socks to break them in. If they remain uncomfortable, consider trying a different size.
Sizing seems incorrect (US/Euro vs. UK)
Please try the boots on carefully to assess the fit. The label or box may show alternative sizing. If the UK size is not correct, return them unworn.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try moving the zipper up and down. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Leather shows water marks after rain
Allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and appearance. Ensure water-repellent spray is applied for future protection.
