Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Lake Ankle Boots are designed for adult women who seek the aesthetic of a classic ankle boot without sacrificing the cushioned support of a trainer. These boots are ideal for everyday wear, offering both lace and zip closures for a secure, adjustable fit and removable insoles for personalized comfort. While they provide excellent versatility for casual outings, potential buyers should note the C+ standard width fitting, which may not be suitable for those requiring wider-than-average footwear.

FAQs
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Gabor Lake ankle boots feature removable insoles specifically to accommodate custom orthotics or personal inserts.
What does the C+ fitting mean?
C+ refers to a standard width fitting designed for average foot proportions. It is not classified as a wide or narrow fitting.
How high is the heel?
These boots feature a 3.5cm platform-style heel.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather construction offers some natural resistance, they are not strictly waterproof and should be treated with a leather-appropriate protective spray if exposure to rain is expected.
Are the laces functional?
Yes, the laces are fully functional, allowing you to tighten or loosen the boot to your preferred fit, while the side zip allows for quick removal.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly too snug across the arch
Try adjusting the laces to loosen the tension; if using custom orthotics, ensure they are not thicker than the original insole.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of beeswax or specialized zipper lubricant to help the slider glide smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gabor Lake boots, start by ensuring the fit is correct with your preferred socks. If you intend to use custom orthotics, remove the factory insoles before inserting your own to ensure the volume of the boot remains comfortable. For care, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt after each wear. Given the leather construction, it is recommended to apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the boots in water; if they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen.
