Product Information

Full details

The Gabor West trainers are designed for adult females seeking a blend of retro style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit lies in their versatile design, suitable for casual wear, with the added advantage of removable insoles for personalized fit or orthotic use. A potential consideration is the specific width fitting, UK C+ (Gabor F), which may not suit all foot shapes. These lace-up trainers feature a low rubber sole, a combination of leather and suede uppers, and eye-catching contrast stripes with ankle detailing.

FAQs

What material are the Gabor West trainers made from?

The uppers are a combination of leather and suede, and the lining is leather. The sole is made from thermoplastic rubber.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Gabor West trainers feature removable insoles, allowing you to replace them with your own custom orthotics or alternative insoles.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The heel height is 2.5cm.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner may be used, testing on a hidden area first.

What does 'Width Fit: UK C+ (Gabor F)' mean?

This indicates the width fitting designed by Gabor. UK C+ (Gabor F) is a specific fit that may suit certain foot shapes. It's advisable to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed primarily for style and comfort for casual wear. While they offer good grip and comfort for everyday activities, they are not intended for high-intensity athletic performance.

What colours and patterns are available?

The Gabor West trainers feature contrast stripes and ankle detailing. While the specific model described is brown suede, other colour variations with striped patterns are available in the Gabor West series.

Troubleshooting

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has more grip if they are particularly smooth.

Slight stiffness in new trainers

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the material slightly.

Discoloration on suede material

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove stains. Test any cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Foot discomfort due to width

Given the UK C+ (Gabor F) width fit, consider if this is the correct fit for your foot. If discomfort persists, ensure insoles are correctly positioned or consider if a different Gabor width fitting might be more appropriate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

  • Insoles: Compatible with most standard orthotics and custom insoles due to their removable nature.
  • Occasion: Best suited for casual wear and athleisure outfits.

Care:

  • Uppers: For suede sections, use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For leather sections, use a damp cloth and a suitable leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid soaking the shoes.
