Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lace-Up: Begin by unlacing the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Gabor Wisdom shoes, especially those with suede uppers, follow these care guidelines:
- Suede Uppers: Regularly brush with a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, as suede can be easily marked. If they get wet, blot gently with a clean cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Leather Uppers (if applicable): Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Condition periodically to keep the leather supple.
- Synthetic Sole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Removable Insoles: These can be removed for airing out or cleaning as needed. Hand wash with mild soap and water if necessary, and air dry completely before reinserting.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
