FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
These Gabor trainers are designed for a standard fit. While the leather will mold to your foot over time, if you typically require extra width, it's advisable to try them on or consult sizing guides carefully.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to the Gabor sizing chart or measure your foot from heel to toe and compare it to the UK sizing equivalents provided by the brand. It's often recommended to measure your foot at the end of the day.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these trainers are not waterproof. For light rain, they may offer some protection, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended as it can damage the leather and stitching. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials?
Using recycled materials reduces the environmental impact of the product by repurposing existing resources, contributing to sustainability efforts within the fashion industry.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's generally recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, depending on usage and environmental conditions. If the leather appears dry or is frequently exposed to harsh elements, conditioning more often may be beneficial.
Can the insole be replaced with my custom orthotics?
Yes, these trainers feature a removable insole, making them compatible with most custom orthotics or preferred insoles for added support or comfort.
What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?
Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for information regarding exchanges or returns for incorrect sizing.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Ensure the shoes fit correctly. If the fit is too loose, creasing can be more pronounced. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and minimize creases. Regular conditioning can also help keep the leather flexible.
Discomfort after extended wear
Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly for a secure but not too tight feel. The removable insole can be replaced with a preferred cushioned or supportive insert if needed.
Scuffs or minor surface marks on leather
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner appropriate for brown leather. For light scuffs, a matching colored shoe polish or cream can often restore the finish. Always test products on a hidden area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult female foot sizes. While they feature a removable insole for potential custom orthotics, they are designed to fit standard foot shapes comfortably.
Care:
- Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
- Insoles: The removable insole can be taken out for airing or gentle cleaning with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can prevent the leather from breathing.
