FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The fit can vary. The removable insole offers some adjustability, but for significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts carefully.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction.

How often should I condition the leather?

It's advisable to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions or dry climates.

What are the benefits of the recycled materials?

The use of recycled materials contributes to reducing environmental impact by repurposing waste materials into new products.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The leather is not inherently waterproof. Applying a suitable leather waterproofing spray can provide protection against moisture.

What is the origin of these trainers?

These Gabor trainers are handmade in Portugal.

Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?

Yes, the trainers feature a removable insole, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure regular conditioning.

Water stains on the leather

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid heat. Use a waterproofing spray for future prevention.

Discomfort due to fit

Ensure the correct size was selected. Utilize the removable insole to accommodate custom orthotics or adjust fit with an additional insole.

Slight creasing in leather

Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure the shoes fit correctly and use shoe trees to help maintain shape when stored.
