FAQs
What does XL mean in the Gabor Propulsion series?
The XL designation refers to an extra-wide calf fitting, providing more room in the shaft of the boot compared to standard models.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather provides natural water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray.
Can I replace the insoles?
The boots feature standard construction; however, if you require orthotics, consult a cobbler to see if the existing lining allows for the insertion of custom insoles.
How do I clean the microfibre lining?
Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water and a mild detergent if necessary, then allow to air dry away from heat sources.
What is the best way to store these boots?
Keep them upright using boot shapers or tall inserts to prevent the leather shaft from creasing or slumping over time.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after storage
Apply a generous amount of leather conditioner to soften the fibers and wear them around the house for short periods to break them back in.
Slippage at the heel
If the fit is slightly loose, use a suede or gel heel grip insert to secure the foot more firmly within the boot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these boots are a slip-on style, no initial assembly or lace adjustment is required. They are compatible with a variety of outfits ranging from formal work attire to casual weekend wear. To maintain the appearance and structural integrity of the nappa leather, perform the following care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and debris with a soft, damp cloth after each use.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner monthly to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; use boot trees to help maintain the shape of the shaft.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water repellent spray before wearing them in wet conditions.
