Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Hodie boots remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before the first wear to repel water and dirt.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush designed for suede to gently remove surface dust and dirt.
- Stain Removal: Use a specialized suede eraser for minor scuffs. Avoid using water or standard shoe polish, as these can permanently damage the texture.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. Use boot trees or rolled tissue to help the boots maintain their shape when not in use.
- Footbed Care: The removable recycled footbeds can be taken out and aired out periodically to ensure freshness.
