FAQs
What material are the Gabor Fantastica sandals made of?
The Gabor Fantastica sandals in this guide are made from soft suede with a cork-effect detailing on the block heel.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The sandals feature a buckle for adjustment, which can offer some flexibility. However, suitability for wider feet depends on individual fit preference and the specific width of the sandal.
How do I clean the suede material?
Clean suede with a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and dry stains. Avoid water. For protection, use a suede protector spray. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the heel height of these sandals?
The description mentions a 'chunky sole and block heel' and that it 'evenly distributes your weight', implying a comfortable, substantial heel height, though the exact measurement is not provided.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede sandals in wet conditions, as suede can be easily damaged by water. If they do get wet, allow them to dry naturally and away from heat.
What other colours or materials are available in the Fantastica series?
The Fantastica series includes variations in leather and suede, in colours such as white, brown, green, and black, alongside this tan suede option.
What is the benefit of the cushioned insole?
The lightly cushioned insole is designed to provide enhanced comfort for the wearer, making the sandals more comfortable for extended periods of wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in a consistent direction to lift the nap and restore its texture.
Scuff marks on suede
Try using a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For deeper scuffs, professional cleaning may be required.
Sandals feel slightly tight
Wear them around the house with socks for a short period to allow the suede to stretch slightly. Adjust the buckle for a more comfortable fit.
Buckle feels stiff
Gently work the buckle back and forth. Avoid forcing it. If persistent, consult a cobbler.

Care Instructions:
- Suede Care: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Protect with a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning: Avoid using water directly on the suede. For minor marks, a dry suede eraser can be effective. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuffing to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
