FAQs

What type of heel does the Gabor Rich sandal have?

The Gabor Rich sandal features a low cork wedge heel, with the cork welt measuring 2.5cm, providing a comfortable boost in height.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the Gabor Rich sandals are designed with a UK D Wide fitting, offering more room for comfort.

How do I clean the leather uppers?

Clean the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For best results, use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for leather to maintain its condition and suppleness.

What is the fastening mechanism?

The sandals feature an ankle strap with an adjustable buckle fastening, allowing for a secure and personalized fit.

What material is the lining made of?

The sandals have open micro-fibre linings, designed to cushion the foot and provide comfort with every step.

Can these sandals be worn for long periods?

Yes, the combination of the cushioned micro-fibre lining and the low wedge heel makes them suitable for extended wear, especially for casual activities.

What is the sole made of?

The sole of the Gabor Rich sandal is made of synthetic material.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel too loose despite buckle adjustment

Ensure the buckle is fastened as tightly as possible. If still too loose, consider adding a heel grip or insole for a more secure fit, or explore if a smaller size is available.

Leather uppers appear dry or scuffed

Apply a suitable leather conditioner to moisturize and restore the leather. For scuffs, try a matching colour polish or cream after conditioning.

Discomfort from the toe twist strap

If the toe twist feels tight or rubs, try wearing the sandals around the house for short periods to allow them to soften and mold to your foot. Ensure the ankle strap is properly adjusted to provide adequate support.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

The synthetic sole may be less grippy on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and dry. If persistent, consider a visit to a cobbler to have a more grippy sole protector applied.

Care Instructions:
