FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the suede material is not naturally waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to help resist moisture and stains.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Gabor Lourdes boots feature removable insoles, making them suitable for many types of custom or over-the-counter orthotic inserts.
How do I clean mud off the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently flick the dried dirt off the surface. Do not use water or soap directly on the suede.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The elastic gusset provides some flexibility in width, but the boot is standard fit. It is best to try them on to ensure the volume is right for your foot.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 3.5cm, providing a low, manageable lift for improved posture and style.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help the boots maintain their shape when stored for long periods.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly tight when new
Suede is a flexible natural material that will relax slightly with wear. Wear them around the house with socks for short periods to gently break them in.
Suede surface looks flat or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently raise the nap (fibres) of the material. Brush in a consistent direction to restore the soft texture.
Difficulty putting on the boots
Ensure the elastic gusset is fully extended. If the fit remains too tight, consider using a shoe horn to assist with sliding the heel into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: The boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply remove any packaging and ensure the fit is correct for your foot shape.
- Compatibility: The removable insoles make these compatible with generic store-bought orthotic inserts for those needing extra arch support.
- Care: To keep the suede looking pristine, use a suede-specific brush to remove dirt after each wear. If the boots get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. Consider applying a water-repellent suede protector spray before first use to add a layer of defense against accidental spills.
