FAQs

What is the Gabor C+ width fitting?

The C+ width fitting is Gabor's designation for a wider fit, equivalent to an 'F' fitting in standard UK sizing. It is designed to provide more comfort for individuals who find standard width shoes too narrow.

How should I clean the suede material?

For general cleaning, use a suede brush. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Consider using a suede protector spray to prevent future staining.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While suede can be treated with waterproofing sprays, it is generally advisable to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.

What is the heel height of the Gabor Temptation shoes?

The Gabor Temptation shoes have a heel height of approximately 1cm.

Are these shoes suitable for professional environments?

Yes, the Gabor Temptation shoes can be suitable for smart-casual or less formal professional environments due to their refined design and premium materials. They pair well with business-casual attire.

How do I care for the patent leather toe cap?

Wipe the patent leather toe cap with a damp cloth. For shine, a little patent leather cleaner or polish can be used sparingly.

What is the material of the lining and insole?

The shoes feature soft cotton linings and leather insoles for enhanced comfort and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow product instructions.

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. The C+ width fitting is designed for broader feet, but if discomfort persists, consider wearing them for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet, or consult a shoe fitter.

Patent toe cap is scratched

Minor scuffs on patent leather can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a patent leather repair kit might be necessary, or professional refurbishment sought.
