Full details
The Gabor Dando ankle boots are designed for adult women seeking a stylish and secure trans-seasonal footwear option. Their key benefit lies in the combination of a double lace and zip fastening for a secure fit and patent leather uppers for a glossy, flexible finish. A potential caveat for some users might be the D+ fitting, which is specifically a wide fit.

FAQs
What type of leather are the uppers made from?
The uppers are made from patent leather, which gives them a glossy and flexible finish.
How do I secure the boots on my feet?
The boots feature a double fastening system: both laces and a zip, allowing for a secure and adjustable fit.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Gabor Dando ankle boots have a D+ fitting, which is designed for wider feet.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 1.5cm.
Can I remove the insoles?
No, the insoles are not removable in this model.
How should I clean the patent leather?
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more intensive cleaning or to restore shine, use products specifically designed for patent leather.
Are these boots waterproof?
The patent leather offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight despite adjustable laces.
The boots feature a D+ wide fitting. If you have very narrow feet, they might feel loose. For tightness, ensure laces are loosened before zipping and try to distribute pressure evenly. If the width is the issue, consider thicker socks or consult a cobbler for potential minor adjustments.
Patent leather loses its shine.
Clean the boots with a soft, damp cloth. For restoring shine, use a specific patent leather cleaner or a mild polish designed for patent leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Zip is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to move the zip up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a tiny drop of silicone-based lubricant to the zip teeth to help it glide smoothly.
