Full details
The Gabor Ilea trainers are designed for adult women who prioritize a balance of comfort and casual style for their daily footwear. These trainers offer the significant benefit of a breathable mesh construction and customizable comfort via removable insoles, making them an excellent choice for all-day wear; however, users should note that they are designed with a standard C+ width fitting, which may not accommodate wider foot shapes as effectively as other styles.

FAQs
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and materials. Clean by hand for best results.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Ilea series is built on a standard C+ width fitting. They may feel snug for those with wider feet.
What is the heel height on this model?
The heel height is 4.5cm, which provides a comfortable lift and additional support for the heel.
Can I replace the insoles with my own?
Yes, the Gabor Ilea trainers feature removable insoles, making them suitable for use with custom-made orthotics.
Are these shoes appropriate for long-distance running?
No, these are categorized as casual trainers designed for walking and everyday wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels uncomfortable or loose
Ensure the removable insole is properly seated flat inside the shoe. If replacing with a custom insert, verify the size is compatible with the trainer's internal footprint.
Surface mesh appears dull or stained
Gently dab the mesh with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the fine mesh fibers.
Laces coming loose during walking
The lace-up system may require a double knot if the laces are new and stiff. Over time, the material will soften, allowing for a more secure standard knot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gabor Ilea trainers, begin by ensuring the laces are tensioned to your specific arch height; the pull-on design should feel secure without pinching the top of the foot. If you intend to use custom orthotics, remove the pre-installed Gabor insoles carefully to ensure a flat seating surface inside the shoe. For care, wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh industrial chemicals on the mesh panels. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials over time.
