Product Information
Full details
The Dahma Gabor trainers in Red, size 8.5, are designed for adult females seeking a stylish and comfortable everyday shoe. Their key benefit lies in the combination of a smooth leather upper, classic gum sole, and a refined, retro-inspired finish, offering a tailored wide fit due to available half sizes. A potential consideration is that these are fashion trainers and may not provide the support needed for intense athletic activities.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the red leather?
Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for colored leather. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the Dahma Gabor trainers are available in a range of colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for other available options.
What does 'tailored wide fit' mean?
It means the trainers are offered in half sizes, which allows for a more precise fit and can accommodate individuals who typically find standard width shoes a bit snug. This provides a more comfortable, customized fit for wider feet.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original shoe box or a breathable shoe bag will help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is a classic gum sole, known for its durability and distinctive appearance.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they do get wet, ensure they are dried properly as per the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to moisturize the leather. Ensure the conditioner is suitable for the type of leather.
Gum sole is scuffed or dirty
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the sole. For tougher scuffs, a specialized sole cleaner might be effective.
Fit feels slightly off despite being the correct size
Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. If the issue persists and the fit is too narrow, consider if a half size up would be more appropriate, given the availability of half sizes for a wider fit.
