Troubleshooting
Pumps feel too tight
Wear with thin socks for a short period to gently stretch the material, or consider professional shoe stretching if the fit is significantly off. Ensure the correct size has been purchased.
Slight squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a small powder (like talcum powder) between the insole and the shoe's interior, or check if any part of the sole is rubbing against the upper.
Scuffs on the synthetic upper
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, a specialist synthetic shoe cleaner may be required, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Lace bow becoming misshapen
Gently reshape the bow by hand. Avoid excessive moisture, which can affect the bow's structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Gabor Dulford ballet pumps require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility:
These pumps are designed for women and are generally compatible with standard sock liners or hosiery. Due to the non-removable insoles, they may not be suitable for individuals requiring custom orthotics unless the orthotic can fit comfortably over the existing insole.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or the bow detail.
- Cleaning the Lining: The fleece lining can be gently spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the lining dries completely before wearing.
- Sole Maintenance: Periodically check the synthetic sole for any debris and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store the pumps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape when not in use.
