FAQs
Can I replace the insoles in these boots?
Yes, the boots feature a removable footbed specifically designed to accommodate custom orthotics or your preferred insoles.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the high-quality leather provides protection against light rain, they are not classified as fully waterproof and should not be submerged in deep water.
What does F-width mean?
The F-width is Gabor's standard width fitting, designed to provide a comfortable, secure hold for feet of average width.
How high is the heel?
The block heel is 4 cm high, providing a balance of height and walking stability.
How do I care for the leather finish?
Use a standard black leather cream to maintain the color and condition the hide periodically to prevent drying.
Are the laces functional?
Yes, the laces are functional and allow you to customize the fit, while the side zipper allows for convenient daily entry.
Troubleshooting
Side zipper feels stuck or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.
Boots feel too tight across the top of the foot
Loosen the laces across the instep to allow for more volume, or consult a professional cobbler for minor leather stretching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, customize the initial fit by loosening or tightening the front laces to suit your foot volume. If you use custom orthotics, simply lift out the provided Gabor footbed and insert your own before the first use. For leather care, clean the boots regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Use a high-quality leather cream or polish in black to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid heavy soaking in water, and allow the boots to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can dry out the leather.
