No, you should never submerge these shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as it will ruin the suede texture and the shoe structure.
The latex rubber sole provides good natural grip on most standard indoor surfaces, though it is not rated as a specialized industrial non-slip shoe.
While they are comfortable from the start, the soft suede will gradually mold more perfectly to your foot shape after a few wears.
Allow the mud to dry completely first, then gently brush it off with a dry suede brush. Do not rub while wet, as this will press the mud deeper into the fibers.
Gabor typically designs with comfort in mind, but as these are ballet pumps, those with very wide feet may prefer to try them on for fit or consider a half-size larger if available.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and remove loose dirt.
Allow the shoe to dry completely, then use a suede eraser or brush to gently buff out the affected area.
Consider using an adhesive heel grip to adjust the fit if the shoe feels slightly loose.
These pumps are designed for immediate wear right out of the box, as the flexible suede contours to the foot quickly. To ensure longevity, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black suede. We recommend using a suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against light rain and dust. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources, such as radiators, which may crack or shrink the materials. To clean, use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface debris, brushing in the direction of the grain.
