FAQs

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No. Suede should never be machine washed or submerged in water, as this will permanently damage the texture and shape of the leather.

Are these pumps suitable for wide feet?

The Gabor Forrest range is designed for a standard fit, but the flexibility of the suede material often allows it to accommodate varying foot widths comfortably over time.

How do I deal with oil stains on suede?

Apply a small amount of cornstarch or baby powder to the stain and let it sit for several hours to absorb the oil, then brush it away with a suede brush.

Are they waterproof?

No, suede is naturally porous. While a protector spray will make them water-resistant, they are not intended to be worn in heavy rain.

What is the heel height exactly?

The heel is 2cm high, providing a low, stable lift suitable for daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or dry dirt on the suede

Use a soft suede brush to gently buff the surface in the direction of the grain.

Minor water spotting

Gently rub the area with a suede eraser once the shoe is completely dry to restore the nap.

Slippery soles

New rubber soles can be slightly slick; scuff the bottom of the soles lightly on a rough concrete surface to increase traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gabor Forrest pumps maintain their quality, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Before wearing for the first time, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to create a protective barrier.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt or debris. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser rather than water.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Moisture: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can cause the suede to stiffen or warp.
  5. Compatibility: These pumps feature a standard fit suitable for most UK adult sizes; however, since they are made of suede, they will naturally mold slightly to your foot shape over time.
