FAQs
What material are the Gabor Oporto sandals made of?
The uppers are made from either leather or nubuck, depending on the colour. The lining is microfibre, and the sole is made of durable polyurethane.
Are the insoles removable in the Gabor Oporto sandals?
No, the insoles are not removable.
What is the heel height of the Gabor Oporto sandal?
The heel height is 3.5cm.
How do I clean the leather versions of these sandals?
Wipe the leather uppers with a damp cloth and use a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to maintain their condition.
What does 'UK D width (Gabor G)' mean?
This indicates the width fitting. UK D, corresponding to Gabor's G fitting, generally offers a standard to slightly roomier fit compared to narrow shoes.
Can I wear these sandals for long periods?
Yes, the soft microfibre lining and comfortable heel height are designed for all-day wear, making them ideal for everyday activities.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandal?
The sandal features a practical rip tape fastening, allowing you to easily adjust the fit for comfort and security.
Troubleshooting
Rip tape fastening is not secure
Ensure the rip tape is clean and free from lint or debris. Press firmly to secure. If the adhesion is significantly worn, repair or replacement might be necessary.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather using a soft cloth. Buff gently.
Discomfort due to fit
Adjust the rip tape fastening. If discomfort persists and is related to width, consider if the UK D fit is appropriate for your foot shape. The shoe is not designed for significant stretching.
Sandal feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the polyurethane sole is clean and dry. While designed for traction, extremely smooth or wet surfaces may reduce grip. Check sole for excessive wear.
