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 the combination of premium leather and suede materials with a comfortable, low-profile design, ideal for casual wear. A minor consideration is that the width fit is specific to UK C+ (Gabor F), which may require trying them on for optimal fit. Key features include a durable thermoplastic rubber sole, a secure lace-up fastening, and removable insoles for customizable comfort.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes happen with new leather shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Discomfort due to width
The Gabor West trainers have a UK C+ (Gabor F) width fit. If they feel too tight, ensure laces are not over-tightened. For persistent discomfort, consider using the removable insoles to accommodate a thinner insole or consult with a shoe fitting specialist.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For tougher marks, a suede eraser may be effective. Always brush in one direction or use short, back-and-forth strokes.
