FAQs
What occasions are these sandals best suited for?
The Gabor Maddy sandals are versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, including casual outings, social events, summer parties, and even some semi-formal gatherings due to their elegant design and comfortable heel height.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
These sandals feature a UK C+ Standard width fitting (Gabor F). While this is a comfortable width for many, it may not be suitable for individuals with significantly wide feet. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 3.5cm, providing a stable and comfortable lift.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
While the synthetic sole offers some durability, the leather upper is best protected from excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a leather protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild leather cleaner, and always follow up with a leather conditioner to maintain the material's quality.
Are the insoles removable?
No, the insoles are not removable, which means custom orthotics cannot be easily inserted unless they are designed to be worn over the existing insole.
What material is the sandal made from?
The sandal features a leather upper and leather lining, with a durable synthetic sole.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight/loose.
The elasticated ankle strap provides some flexibility. If the fit is still not ideal, consider the width fitting (UK C+ Standard) and whether this suits your foot shape. For minor tightness, wearing with thin socks for a short period might help stretch the leather slightly.
Leather scuff marks.
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather repair balm or polish that matches the shoe's color. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound.
Squeaking can sometimes occur between the sole and the insole, or between the leather parts. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or a tiny drop of saddle soap where the leather parts meet. Ensure the sole is clean and dry.

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth.
- Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag to protect them from dust and light. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
