Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Baby women's loafer in beige suede is designed for adult women seeking stylish comfort for all-day wear. Its key benefit is the combination of a chic slip-on design with a recycled, removable footbed for personalized comfort. A potential caveat to consider is that suede requires specific care to maintain its appearance. This loafer features a color-coded trim, twin elasticated gussets for a secure fit, and a contrasting TR rubber sole for excellent grip.

FAQs
Are these loafers suitable for work?

How do I clean the suede upper?

Yes, the loafers feature removable insoles, allowing you to replace them with your own custom orthotics or preferred inserts.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 3cm, providing a slight lift without sacrificing comfort or stability.
Are these loafers good for wide feet?
Yes, these loafers are designed with a wide width fitting to accommodate wider feet comfortably.
What material is the sole made of?

How do I put them on?

Troubleshooting
Loafers feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The wide width fitting may help. If still uncomfortable, the removable insole can be replaced with a thinner one, or worn without an insole if preferred. Suede can also stretch slightly with wear.
Suede material shows water marks or stains
Allow the loafers to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully. Water-repellent sprays designed for suede can offer preventative protection.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The TR rubber sole is designed for grip, but on extremely polished or wet surfaces, caution is advised. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. If significant slipping persists, consider a sole protector or a cobbler for additional grip treatments.
