FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Gabor Wisdom Trainers are designed for everyday comfort with a leather lining, standard fit, and removable insoles, making them ideal for all-day wear during light activities and casual outings.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
Due to the suede upper, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain. Suede can be damaged by water. For light moisture protection, apply a high-quality suede protector spray regularly.
What is the benefit of removable insoles?
Removable insoles allow for personalized comfort and support. You can replace them with your own custom orthotics or specific comfort inserts if desired, tailoring the shoe to your unique foot needs.
How do I maintain the navy color of the suede?
To maintain the rich navy color, store your trainers away from direct sunlight. Regular gentle brushing with a suede brush helps to keep the nap looking fresh. If fading occurs, specialized suede color restorers are available.
What does a 35mm heel height feel like?
A 35mm heel provides a subtle and comfortable lift, offering a slight elevation without the feel of a traditional high heel. It enhances posture and adds a stylish boost while maintaining stability for comfortable walking.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
These trainers feature a standard (Gabor F) width fitting, equivalent to a UK C+ standard. While comfortable for average foot widths, they might not provide sufficient room for very wide feet. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Gently brush the suede in one direction with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.
Shoes feel too tight or loose despite lacing.
Ensure the laces are adjusted evenly from bottom to top. Check if the removable insoles are correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider if the standard width fitting (Gabor F) is ideal for your foot shape.
Shoes make squeaking noises when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insoles, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insoles. Ensure the insoles are completely dry.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
While the synthetic sole offers good grip, ensure it is clean of any dirt or debris that could reduce traction. Exercise caution on very smooth, wet, or icy surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lace Adjustment: Before your first wear, loosen the laces sufficiently to allow your foot to slide in comfortably. You can then tighten them to achieve your preferred snugness.
- Zip Convenience: Utilize the side zip for quick and easy entry and exit once the laces are set to your desired fit.
- Insole Check: Ensure the removable insoles are seated flat and correctly inside the trainers for optimal comfort and support.
Compatibility
These trainers are incredibly versatile, making them a perfect match for a wide range of outfits:
- Casual Chic: Pair with denim jeans, capri pants, or linen trousers for an elevated everyday look.
- Summer Elegance: Combine with midi skirts, sundresses, or tailored shorts for a comfortable yet stylish warm-weather ensemble.
- Smart Casual: Their sophisticated suede finish allows them to complement smart-casual office attire or evening social events.
Care
Caring for your Gabor Wisdom Trainers, particularly the suede upper, is crucial for maintaining their appearance and longevity.
- Pre-Treatment: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against moisture and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the stain. For deeper stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing your trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat, then brush gently.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and dust accumulation. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
