Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Oporto sandal is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and stylish everyday footwear, offering a secure fit with its rip-tape fastening and elasticated gussets. Its main benefit is the combination of premium materials like leather or nubuck with thoughtful design for ease of wear. A minor consideration is that the insoles are not removable. Key features include a durable polyurethane sole, a modest 3.5cm heel height, and a choice of attractive colours and materials.

How should I clean the suede or nubuck versions?
For suede and nubuck, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid using water unless specifically using a suede cleaner, and always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Can these sandals be worn for long periods?
Yes, the combination of a supportive sole, comfortable lining, and manageable heel height makes them suitable for extended wear during casual activities.
Troubleshooting
Rip tape not securing properly
Ensure the rip tape surfaces are clean and free from lint or debris. Press firmly to re-engage.
Discomfort from straps
Adjust the rip tape for a less tight fit. The elasticated gussets should provide some give, but ensure the main strap is not overly restrictive.
Suede/Nubuck appearance fading
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. Apply a suede protector spray to help prevent future fading and water damage.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole (if accessible, though these are fixed) or where the sole meets the upper.
