FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are made from high-quality leather, which offers some resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the boots feature a removable footbed specifically designed to allow for the insertion of custom orthotic inserts.
What does 'Width F' mean?
Width F is the standard fit for Gabor shoes, designed to offer a comfortable balance for the average foot size.
How high is the heel?
The block heel is 4 cm high, providing a balance between style and stability.
Does the zipper replace the need for laces?
The laces allow you to adjust the tension across the top of your foot for a custom fit, while the side zipper allows for convenient daily entry.
How do I choose the right size?
The boots follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear orthotics, ensure you account for the space required when swapping the footbed.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Check for debris along the zipper track and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub a graphite pencil lead over the teeth to smooth the mechanism.
Leather looks dull
Apply a matching black leather cream and buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural shine and moisture.
Footbed feels loose
Ensure the footbed is pressed firmly into the heel cavity; if it shifts, check that no moisture or debris is trapped underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor boots last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a leather-specific water repellent spray to protect against light moisture and dirt.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the smooth leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust. Use a high-quality leather cream periodically to keep the material supple.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Compatibility: If you use custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-provided footbed before inserting your own to maintain the correct fit.
