Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Dixie shoes stay in top condition, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Before wearing them for the first time, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and prevent stains.
- Customization: If using custom orthotics, gently lift out the existing factory insoles before placing your own inside the shoe.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dust and debris. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede colour over time. Use shoe trees or crumpled paper to help maintain the shoe's shape when not in use.
- Moisture: If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Never place them near a heater, as direct heat can cause the suede to stiffen or warp.
