FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are made from suede and leather, which are porous materials. It is recommended to use a protective spray to add a layer of water resistance.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Gabor Dahma trainers feature removable insoles, making them compatible with your own custom orthotic inserts.
What does a UK D width mean?
A UK D fit is considered a wider than average fitting, providing more room in the forefoot area for those who find standard shoes restrictive.
How do I clean the microfibre lining?
Use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the interior, then allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Is the heel height suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the 4.5cm heel is designed as a wedge-style base, providing enough lift for posture support without the instability associated with higher heels.
Do I need to size up for the wider fit?
The trainers follow standard UK sizing. If you usually take a wide fit, you should purchase your usual size.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too loose in the heel or midfoot
Utilize the lace eyelets to create a tighter "runner's loop" lacing pattern or add a thin leather heel grip.
Suede appears dull or marked after light use
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and restore the texture, then apply a protective spray to even out the appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Dahma trainers stay in top condition:
- Fitting: If you plan to replace the factory insoles with custom orthotics, ensure the existing insoles are removed first to maintain the internal volume of the shoe.
- Weatherproofing: Before your first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against moisture and dirt.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dried mud or dust. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or light steam, taking care not to soak the leather.
- Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or change colour.
