FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While the block heel is very stable and comfortable for office use and social events, they are intended as dress shoes rather than for long-distance walking.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Gabor Dixie shoes feature removable insoles, making them compatible with most standard orthotic inserts.
How do I clean the suede if it gets dirty?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid using water or soap as they can damage the suede texture.
Is the heel height comfortable for all-day wear?
The 4cm block heel is widely considered a comfortable height for all-day wear as it provides enough elevation to look professional without putting excessive strain on the ball of the foot.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Gabor footwear generally adheres to standard UK sizing. If you plan to use thicker orthotic inserts, you may want to consider this when choosing your size.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels slightly too loose after removing the original insole.
Ensure your custom orthotic is the correct thickness. You may need to add a thin leather or foam heel grip to maintain a secure fit.
Water spots appeared on the suede.
Let the shoes dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then use a suede brush to gently buff the surface to lift the fibers again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Gabor Dixie shoes is straightforward due to the slip-on design. If you intend to use your own orthotic insoles, simply lift the existing removable insoles out of the shoe and replace them with your custom inserts.
Care instructions are critical for suede:
- Protect: Use a suede-specific protective spray before wearing them for the first time to create a barrier against moisture and light dirt.
- Clean: If they become dusty, use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
- Stains: Avoid water; if a stain occurs, use a specialized suede eraser or seek professional cleaning advice.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading.
