Product Information

Full details

The Gabor West trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of retro style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit lies in their versatile design, featuring genuine leather and suede uppers with stylish contrast stripes, suitable for casual wear. A potential caveat is the specific width fitting (UK C+), which may not suit all foot shapes. These trainers offer a lace-up fastening, removable insoles for customizable fit, and a durable thermoplastic rubber sole.

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

Can I wear these trainers with my own orthotics?

How should I clean the leather and suede parts of the trainers?

For leather, use a damp cloth and a leather conditioner. For suede, use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede eraser for marks. Avoid getting them excessively wet.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

The Gabor West trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer a durable sole, they may not provide the specific support or cushioning required for intense athletic activities.

What does the 'Striped' pattern refer to?

The 'Striped' pattern refers to the design element featuring contrast stripes, typically found on the side or ankle area of the trainer, adding a visual flair.

Troubleshooting

Laces becoming untied frequently

Try double-knotting the laces, or consider replacing them with laces that have better grip.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and not too tight. If the discomfort persists, consider using the removable insoles to add custom cushioning or arch support.

Water staining on suede or leather

Avoid wearing in wet conditions. For minor marks on suede, allow to dry and then use a suede brush. For leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Insole feels too thin

Remove the existing insole and replace it with a thicker, cushioned insole of your choice for added comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness.

Compatibility:

  • Foot Width: Designed for a UK C+ (Gabor F) width fitting. Consider trying them on if you are unsure about this fit.
  • Insoles: Compatible with most standard-sized custom orthotics or insoles due to the removable insole feature.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Uppers: Clean with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying.
  • Suede Uppers: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water saturation.
