Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Maddy Slingback Court Shoes are designed for women seeking sophisticated yet comfortable footwear for various occasions. Their key benefit lies in offering a secure, flexible fit with a modest heel height suitable for all-day wear. A potential consideration is that while versatile, they are a specific style of heeled shoe, not suitable for activities requiring flat or athletic footwear. These shoes feature a premium leather upper and lining, an elasticated ankle strap, a covered block heel, and a durable synthetic sole.

What is the heel height of the Gabor Maddy shoes?

Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?

How should I clean the leather upper?
Clean the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For protection against stains, consider using a leather protector spray.
What occasions are these shoes best for?

What material is the sole made of?

Troubleshooting
Stiff leather initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Using a leather conditioner can also help.
Ankle strap feels too tight or loose
The elasticated strap is designed for flexibility. If it feels consistently too tight, ensure you have the correct size. If too loose, the shoe may not be the right fit for your heel shape.
Slight scuff marks on leather
For minor scuffs, use a matching color shoe polish or a leather balm. For deeper marks, consult a professional cobbler.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The TPU sole offers traction, but if you experience slipping, consider having a cobbler add a rubber sole protector for enhanced grip.
