Product Information
Full details
The Gabor Rollingsoft trainers are designed for active women who prioritize long-lasting comfort without sacrificing a refined aesthetic, making them an ideal choice for both city walking and casual daily wear. Their primary benefit lies in the innovative sole technology that supports natural gait and reduces impact on the joints, though users should note that the specialized rocker-sole design may require a short adjustment period if you are accustomed to completely flat footwear.

FAQs
Are Gabor Rollingsoft trainers suitable for long-distance walking?
Yes, they are designed to support natural walking motions and reduce joint impact, making them excellent for extended walking.
How do I determine the right size?
The trainers use standard UK sizing. Ensure you measure your feet in the afternoon when they are slightly swollen for the most accurate fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, many Gabor models feature removable insoles, which can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the high-quality leather is durable, they are not marketed as waterproof; it is advisable to use a leather-safe water repellent spray if you expect to encounter rain.
What makes the 'Rollingsoft' technology different?
It uses a special sole design that encourages a natural, rolling transition from heel strike to toe-off, which optimizes comfort and movement.
Are they appropriate for formal settings?
They feature a refined black look, making them suitable for smart-casual environments, though they are primarily designed as athletic-inspired trainers.
Troubleshooting
Feeling unbalanced in the shoes
The rocker sole can feel different initially; walk on a flat, indoor surface for several hours to allow your proprioception to adjust to the rolling motion.
Leather showing scuffs
Use a matching black leather cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thickness socks and consider checking the lacing tension, as improper lacing can restrict natural foot expansion during walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature specialized sole geometry, it is recommended to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow your leg muscles to adapt to the natural rolling motion. To keep your Gabor Rollingsoft trainers in excellent condition, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt or debris. Since they are crafted from leather, avoid submerging them in water and use a professional leather conditioning product periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the materials.
