FAQs

What material are the Gabor Ruffle shoes made of?

The Gabor Ruffle shoes feature uppers made of soft suede. The linings are a combination of leather and textile, and the sole is synthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The shoes have a UK C+ Standard width fitting, which corresponds to Gabor's F fitting. This is generally considered a standard to slightly wider fit, but may not be suitable for very wide feet.

How do I clean my suede Gabor Ruffle shoes?

Clean suede with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid water and consider using a suede protector spray for maintenance.

What is the heel height of these shoes?

The Gabor Ruffle shoes have a low heel height of approximately 2cm.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the synthetic sole offers some protection, suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It's best to protect them with a suede protector spray and avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What occasions are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are designed as sophisticated smart-casual footwear, perfect for office wear, everyday outings, and stylish casual events.

Do the shoes have arch support?

The product description does not specify built-in arch support. They feature a classic ballet pump construction which is generally flat with a slight heel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the width is the issue, consider professional stretching or if the fit is consistently uncomfortable, explore wider fitting options if available.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used cautiously.

Discomfort after wearing for a short period

Check if the shoe is properly broken in. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure the socks you are wearing are not causing friction. The moisture-wicking lining should prevent internal dampness.

Slight odor inside the shoe

Allow the shoes to air out completely between wears. You can also use shoe deodorizing inserts or a light sprinkle of baking soda inside overnight.
