FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the 4.5cm heel and supportive TR sole are designed for daily wear, making them suitable for moderate walking and city commutes.
Can I wash the Gabor Dahma trainers in a machine?
No, you should never machine wash suede footwear. Clean them manually using a suede brush and appropriate dry cleaning products.
What does the 'D fit' mean?
The D fit is a wider-than-average width designation by Gabor, providing extra space in the toe box and mid-foot area.
How do I maintain the bronze finish on the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and keep the nap vibrant. Avoid using heavy waxes or polishes meant for leather.
Are the laces functional or decorative?
The laces are fully functional, allowing you to tighten or loosen the fit according to your preference for security and comfort.
Can I replace the original insoles?
Yes, the insoles are fully removable, which allows for easy cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotic devices.
Troubleshooting
Insoles feel too thin or lack support
Since the insoles are removable, replace them with high-arch support or memory foam inserts suited to your specific foot needs.
Water spots on suede surface
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat sources, then gently buff the affected area with a specialized suede eraser.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the best out of your Gabor Dahma trainers starts with the initial lace adjustment; secure the laces to your preferred tension once to establish the fit, then rely on the soft upper to conform to your foot shape. For care, it is essential to treat the suede upper with a professional suede protector spray before the first outing to repel water and surface dirt. Use a soft-bristled suede brush regularly to remove dry dust and restore the nap of the material. Avoid cleaning with water or harsh detergents, as this can cause permanent damage to the suede texture.
