FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gabor Ilea is designed as a casual fashion trainer for walking and everyday wear, not for high-impact running.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity and the adhesive of the sole.
How do I know if they will fit?
Gabor trainers typically follow standard UK sizing; since these have removable insoles, they are generally accommodating of various foot shapes.
What are the soles made of?
They feature a durable combination of manmade materials and latex rubber designed for durability and traction.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be swapped for any replacement laces of the same length and width.
Are they waterproof?
The mesh panels are designed for breathability, meaning they are not waterproof and may let water in during heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels slightly tight
Remove the factory-provided insole to create more internal volume, or swap it for a thinner aftermarket insole.
Mesh panels appearing dirty
Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner and a soft brush to lift surface stains from the fabric weave.
Insole sliding during use
Ensure the insole is seated correctly in the heel cup; if it persists, use a tiny amount of double-sided fabric tape to secure it.
Pros and Cons

- Reliable sole traction provided by the latex rubber composite
Cons
- Light-colored models like white require more frequent cleaning
- Polyester upper may show wear faster than full leather alternatives
- Limited to casual use cases rather than high-impact athletic performance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Ilea trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: When you first try them on, use the laces to adjust the tension across the midfoot. Because the insoles are removable, if you use custom orthotics, swap the factory insoles out immediately to ensure the correct volume inside the shoe.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and sole. For the white polyester sections, spot clean with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoes as this can affect the adhesive bond in the sole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white materials to yellow over time.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the soles for small pebbles or debris caught in the tread to maintain the effectiveness of the latex rubber grip.
