Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight around the elastic opening
The elastic may need a brief 'break-in' period to soften and conform to your specific foot width.
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a light coat of leather polish or a neutral leather cream to restore the original sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor Ruffle shoes remain in top condition, follow these steps:
- Initial Setup: Ensure you select the correct UK size, as the elasticated fit relies on proper sizing to avoid slipping at the heel.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out, especially given the intricate cut-out patterns.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent leather distortion.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree if possible to help the leather maintain its shape.
