FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they are comfortable for daily wear and commuting, they are designed as lifestyle loafers and may not provide the support needed for extended long-distance walking.
How do I determine if the UK D fit is right for me?
The UK D fit is considered a wider fit. If you typically struggle with shoes feeling tight across the top of the foot or at the sides, this wider silhouette will likely provide a better, more comfortable experience.
Can I replace the insole?
The Gabor Elder series is designed with an integrated insole. While it may be possible to insert a thin orthotic, the shoe's fit might be altered.
What is the best way to clean the rubber soles?
You can clean the rubber soles by wiping them with a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring you rinse and dry them thoroughly to prevent slipping.
Does the leather stretch over time?
As with most quality leather footwear, these shoes will soften and expand slightly as they break in, which is why the initial fit should feel snug but not tight.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the high-quality leather to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a matching shoe cream or a neutral leather polish to buff out minor surface abrasions and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since the Gabor Elder shoes arrive ready to wear, no mechanical setup is required. To ensure compatibility, verify your UK shoe size, noting that these specific shoes feature a D-width fitting. For long-term care, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to prevent the leather from drying out. Use a leather-appropriate conditioner every few months to keep the material supple. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
