FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While the 4cm block heel is very stable and comfortable for all-day wear in an office or event setting, they are not intended for long-distance walking or hiking.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Suede is sensitive to water. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they do get wet, dry them naturally and brush them once dry.
Do I need to break them in?
Gabor footwear is known for its immediate comfort, though soft suede usually adapts further to the shape of your foot after a few wears.
How do I choose the right size?
The Dixie fits true to standard UK sizing. If you plan to use thick orthotics, you might consider if your specific insert requires slightly more volume.
Can the insoles be washed?
It is recommended to wipe the insoles with a damp cloth and air dry them; avoid machine washing to maintain their shape and support.
Troubleshooting
Heel feels slightly loose while walking
Consider using a thin gel heel grip insert to ensure a more secure fit against the back of the heel.
Stains appearing on the suede surface
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of white vinegar to gently blot stains, then brush the suede nap back up once dry.
Insoles feel too bulky with custom orthotics
Ensure you have removed the original Gabor insole entirely before attempting to place your custom orthotics inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Gabor Dixie is ready to wear straight out of the box. If you intend to use custom orthotics, simply lift the existing removable insole out of the footbed and slide your personal insert into place.
Compatibility: These pumps pair naturally with tailored trousers, pencil skirts, or dresses. They are best suited for smart-casual and formal dress codes.
Care: To keep the suede in pristine condition, it is highly recommended to use a suede protector spray before the first wear. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each use. If they get wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to harden or shrink.
