Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Oporto sandal is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and stylish everyday footwear. Its key benefit lies in the adjustable rip tape fastening and elasticated gussets, ensuring a personalized and secure fit. A potential consideration is that the insoles are not removable, which may affect custom orthotic use. This sandal features a strappy open-toe design, crafted with either leather or nubuck uppers, a microfibre lining, and a durable polyurethane sole with a 3.5cm heel.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Gabor Oporto sandals are designed with a UK D width fitting, which is considered a standard width. They may not be suitable for individuals with significantly wide feet.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Unfortunately, the insoles of the Gabor Oporto sandals are not designed to be removable. If you require custom orthotics, these sandals may not be the best fit.
How do I clean the suede (Nubuck) versions?
For suede or nubuck uppers, use a specialized nubuck brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid using water on nubuck.
What is the heel height?
The heel height of the Gabor Oporto sandals is 3.5cm.
What materials are the sandals made of?
The uppers are available in either leather or nubuck, depending on the color. The lining is microfibre, and the sole is made of polyurethane.
How do I adjust the fit?
The sandals feature a rip tape (Velcro) fastening strap, allowing you to easily adjust the tightness for a secure and personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Rip tape not holding securely
Ensure the rip tape surfaces are clean and free from debris. Lint or dirt can prevent a strong closure. Gently brush the hook and loop sections.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a short break-in period. The leather or nubuck will naturally soften and mold to your foot. Ensure the rip tape is adjusted for a comfortable, not overly tight, fit.
Squeaking noise from sole
This can sometimes occur with new soles. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole (if possible, though these are non-removable) or ensure the sole is clean and dry. If persistent, consult a shoe repair specialist.
