FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are water-resistant if properly treated with a protector spray, but they are not fully waterproof and should be kept out of deep puddles.
Can I replace the insoles?
If the existing insoles are removable, you can replace them with your own orthotics, though we recommend checking your specific pair as constructions may vary.
How do I determine if 5.5 UK is the right size?
Gabor sizing is generally true to fit; we recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it against the official Gabor size guide.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Gabor offers various widths; check the specific product specifications to see if this model is designated as a wide-fit variant.
Can I wear these in winter?
They are ideal for mild winter days but are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures or heavy snow conditions.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly stiff on first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods with thick socks to gently stretch the material and contour to your foot shape.
Surface marks on suede finish
Use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the fibers and remove light scuffs.
Water spots after walking in rain
Allow the boots to dry naturally away from radiators or heat sources, then lightly brush the nap to restore the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gabor boots last, follow these care steps:
- Weatherproofing: If your specific pair is suede, apply a water-repellent spray before the first use to protect against moisture and stains.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dust and surface dirt. For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Compatibility: These boots pair exceptionally well with denim, tailored trousers, or opaque tights, making them a cornerstone of a capsule wardrobe.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the heel tips and sole integrity, taking them to a cobbler for maintenance if excessive wear occurs.
