FAQs

What is the heel height of the Gabor Dulford ballet pumps?

The Gabor Dulford ballet pumps feature a covered block heel height of 2cm.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These pumps have a UK C+ Standard (Gabor F) width fitting, which is designed for a standard to moderately wide foot. They may not be suitable for very wide feet.

Can I wear these pumps in wet weather?

While the synthetic sole offers some protection, these pumps are not designed for heavy rain. It is best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to preserve their material and longevity.

Is the lining made of leather?

No, the lining of the Gabor Dulford ballet pumps is made of fleece for added comfort and warmth.

Are the insoles removable?

No, the insoles are not removable in the Gabor Dulford ballet pumps.

How should I clean the lace bow detail?

The lace bow detail should be cleaned gently with a soft, dry brush or a very lightly dampened cloth. Avoid soaking the area.

What occasions are these pumps best suited for?

These pumps are highly versatile and suitable for smart-casual events, everyday wear, office environments, and social gatherings where comfort and style are desired.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the fleece lining to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct width fitting for your foot type.

Shoes feel loose at the heel

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor looseness, a heel grip insert or a thin insole can sometimes improve the fit. The slip-on nature requires a snug fit.

Material shows scuffs or marks

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For more persistent marks on synthetic material, consult a shoe care specialist for appropriate cleaning products.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Gabor Dulford ballet pumps require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These pumps are designed for women and are compatible with most standard women's legwear, including skirts, dresses, trousers, and jeans. The UK C+ Standard (Gabor F) width fitting is designed to accommodate a moderately wide foot.

Care: To maintain the appearance and condition of your Gabor Dulford ballet pumps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper and sole with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the material to crack or warp.
  3. Storage: Store the pumps in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It is recommended to store them in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and scratches.
