FAQs

What is the heel height of these shoes?

The product information does not specify the exact heel height, but the block heel is described as refined and stable, suggesting a moderate height suitable for all-day wear.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The description mentions availability in half sizes for a perfect fit, which can help with comfort. However, specific width options (like wide fit) are not detailed. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consult Gabor's sizing guide.

What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?

This certification indicates that the leather used comes from tanneries audited for their environmental practices, promoting responsible leather production.

How do I clean the cushioned insole?

The insole is made of leather. For light cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a product specifically designed for leather insoles, and ensure the shoes are properly aired out afterwards.

Can these shoes be resoled?

While the product description doesn't explicitly state this, many quality leather shoes with rubber soles can be resoled by a professional cobbler. This can extend the life of the shoes.

What is the primary material of the shoe?

The primary material is high-quality, Leather Working Group-certified leather for the upper, with a leather insole and a rubber sole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or tight

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Leather shows water spots

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, condition the leather. Consider using a waterproofing spray for future protection.

Slight creasing on the leather

Creasing is natural for leather. Applying a leather conditioner can help minimize the appearance of light creasing and keep the leather healthy.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber sole is clean. If the issue persists, a cobbler can apply a more aggressive tread or a slip-resistant sole treatment.
