FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While they are water-resistant and provide protection in damp weather, they are not fully waterproof, so avoid deep puddles.
How do I choose the correct size?
These boots follow standard UK sizing; we recommend choosing your usual size, noting that the lace-up design offers some flexibility for width.
Can I replace the insoles?
The boots are designed with integrated support; however, if you require orthotics, the internal space is generally generous enough for most standard inserts.
What is the best way to clean the black leather?
Use a black shoe polish or cream to touch up scuffs and a soft brush or cloth to remove dust and debris.
Are these suitable for long-distance walking?
They are designed for daily urban walking and casual use; they offer excellent support, though they are not categorized as athletic or hiking footwear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff initially
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations with thicker socks to gently soften the material.
Laces constantly coming undone
Ensure the laces are threaded tightly; double-knotting or using a wax-coated lace can improve grip.
Water spots or salt marks
Clean immediately with a damp cloth and a small amount of leather cleaner, then allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor boots remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots for short periods indoors first to allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet.
- Adjustability: Utilize the laces to find your optimal tension; if you prefer an easier on-off experience, consider setting the laces once and using a shoehorn.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather cream every few months to prevent cracking and keep the material supple.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out the leather.
