FAQs
What material are the Gabor Oporto sandals made of?
The uppers are available in either leather or nubuck, depending on the colour. The lining is microfibre and the sole is polyurethane.
Are the insoles removable?
No, the insoles are not removable in the Gabor Oporto sandal model.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 3.5cm.
How do I clean the suede version of these sandals?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the texture. For stains, use a suede cleaner product and follow its instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray.
What does 'UK D (Gabor G)' width fit mean?
This indicates a standard width fitting according to Gabor's sizing. It is suitable for most average-width feet.
Can I wear these sandals if I need arch support?
These sandals do not have built-in arch support or removable insoles, so they may not be ideal if you require significant orthotic support without custom modification.
How do the elasticated gussets help?
The elasticated gussets are integrated into the sandal's construction to provide extra stretch and flexibility, allowing the sandal to adapt more comfortably to the shape and movement of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight after adjustment.
Loosen the rip tape fastening slightly. Ensure the elasticated gussets have room to flex.
Discomfort from the straps.
Ensure the rip tape is fastened securely but not overly tight. If the straps rub, consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to soften.
Material scuffing or marking.
For leather or nubuck, use a leather conditioner or repair balm. For suede, use a suede eraser or brush. Address marks promptly according to the material's care instructions.
Slipping sensation.
Ensure the sandals are the correct size and the rip tape is fastened appropriately. The polyurethane sole offers moderate grip; ensure surfaces are not excessively wet or smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sandals require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women with a standard UK D width fitting. Not recommended for individuals requiring extra-wide fittings. The non-removable insole means they are not designed to accommodate custom orthotics unless they fit comfortably over the existing insole.
Care Instructions:
- Leather/Nubuck: Clean with a slightly damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaner or protector spray. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, consult a suede-specific cleaning product.
- Sole: Wipe the polyurethane sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- General: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag to protect the material.
