FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
They are designed for comfort in office or casual environments. While the 3.5cm heel is stable, they are not intended for long-distance athletic walking.
Can I use standard shoe polish on these?
No, standard shoe polish is for leather and will ruin the suede finish. Use only products specifically labeled for suede care.
What is the heel height?
The heel measures 3.5cm, offering a comfortable, subtle lift.
Is the material real suede?
Yes, the Gabor Leader series features high-quality suede upper construction.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The shoes are sized in UK foot sizing. It is recommended to try them on later in the day when feet are naturally slightly larger to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can the fringe be removed?
The fringe is an integrated part of the shoe's design and should not be removed.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the suede
Gently use a suede brush to lift the fibers and remove the scuff. For deeper marks, a suede eraser can be used with light pressure.
Water spots after rain
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Once completely dry, brush the area to restore the suede texture.
Inner lining feeling tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hosiery; if persistent, consult a cobbler for professional stretching options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Leader Fringe Loafers maintain their quality, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a suede-specific water repellent spray to protect the surface from dust and light moisture.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the fabric.
- Stain Treatment: For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede eraser, rubbing gently in one direction.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally stuffed with paper to help them maintain their shape when not in use.
- Moisture Warning: Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or deep snow, as excessive water can damage the suede texture.
