FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are made of suede, which is not naturally waterproof. We recommend applying a suede protector spray to increase resistance to moisture.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the structural components of the shoe. Clean manually with recommended products.
What does the H width fitting mean?
The H fitting is Gabor's label for a wide fit, offering extra volume in the toe and instep area for added comfort.
Is the heel height included in the overall measurement?
Yes, the 4cm height refers to the elevation at the heel, providing a comfortable lift.
Are the laces durable?
The lace fastening is designed for secure, everyday use. If they wear out over time, they are easily replaceable with standard lace lengths.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the H width fitting is specifically designed to accommodate wider feet comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material in a circular motion.
Insole feels worn out or loose
Since the insoles are removable, they can be easily replaced with fresh Gabor insoles or your own custom orthotic inserts.
Surface stains appearing on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a light application of a suede cleaner, always testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your Gabor Harp trainers, ensure they are comfortable with your preferred thickness of sock. Since the insoles are removable, you can test the fit with and without aftermarket orthotics if necessary. To maintain the premium suede upper, use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust regularly. For protection against the elements, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before the first use. If the trainers get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the suede from becoming stiff or cracking.
