FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While the block heel and Best Fitting technology provide excellent support for daily commuting and office use, they are fashion-oriented loafers rather than athletic walking shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
Gabor shoes generally follow standard UK sizing. The Best Fitting technology ensures a slightly wider fit at the ball of the foot, which is helpful if you are between sizes.
Can these be worn in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is porous and water can stain or cause long-term damage. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Is the sole slippery?
The sole is designed for standard indoor and urban environments with moderate grip; however, caution should be exercised on wet, smooth surfaces.
How often should I brush the suede?
A light brushing after every few wears will keep the material looking fresh by preventing dust buildup.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots on suede
Lightly brush the affected area with a suede brush when dry to restore the nap; do not attempt to wash with water.
Shoe feels too snug
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hosiery; if the fit is still tight, the Best Fitting technology should allow for a brief 'settling' period, but avoid prolonged wear if pain persists.
Loss of texture/shining in suede
This is often due to surface oils; use a professional suede cleaner or brush to lift the fibers and restore the matte appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These loafers are ready to wear out of the box with no break-in period required for most users. When storing, ensure they are kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede dye over time. Use a shoe tree to help maintain the loafer's shape when not in use. To clean, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust by gently brushing in the direction of the grain. For scuffs, a suede eraser can be used sparingly. Avoid using water or standard leather creams, as these will damage the suede nap. Consider using a protective suede spray specifically designed for footwear to improve resistance to light water splashes.
