Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Ashby M boots maintain their quality, follow these maintenance practices:
- Initial Protection: Treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.
- Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. Do not use water to clean deep stains; consult a professional cobbler for specialized suede cleaning.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown dye. Use boot trees or rolled cardboard to help the shaft maintain its shape when not in use.
- Insole Management: If you need to use custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-provided Gabor insoles first to maintain the correct internal volume of the boot.
