Product Information

Full details

The Gabor Ruffle pumps are versatile smart-casual shoes designed for adult women seeking comfort and style. Their key benefit is the breathable, comfortable wear provided by soft suede uppers and leather linings, suitable for transitioning between seasons. A minor caveat is the standard width fitting, which may not suit very wide feet. Key features include decorative punched detailing, moisture-wicking linings, and a low heel for everyday wear.

FAQs

What material are the Gabor Ruffle pumps made of?

The uppers are made of soft suede, and the lining is a combination of leather and textile.

What is the heel height of these shoes?

The heel height is approximately 2cm.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These shoes have a UK C+ Standard width fitting, which is equivalent to a Gabor F fitting. They are designed for standard width feet and may not be suitable for very wide feet.

How should I clean my suede Gabor Ruffle pumps?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following the product instructions and testing first. It's advisable to use a suede protector spray to help prevent future stains.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes are designed for comfort, suede is not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they get wet, blot them dry and allow them to air dry naturally.

What kind of outfits do these shoes go well with?

The Gabor Ruffle pumps are versatile and can be paired with smart-casual outfits such as tailored trousers, skirts, dresses, or even well-fitting jeans.

Is the punched detailing functional for ventilation?

Yes, the decorative punched-out detailing all over the shoes is designed to allow feet to breathe, enhancing comfort, especially in warmer weather.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions and testing on a small area first.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Suede can stretch slightly over time. Consider using shoe stretchers if the tightness persists and is uncomfortable.

Punched details feel rough on the foot

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks or hosiery that do not snag on the detailing. In rare cases, a very thin, soft insert might help if irritation occurs.

Suede gets wet

Blot excess water immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, restore the nap with a suede brush.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be used sparingly, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
