FAQs
What does the UK D fit mean?
The UK D fit denotes a wider-than-average width designed to provide more room in the toe box and across the forefoot for added comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for orthotics?
The Gabor Elder series is designed with a comfortable footbed, but depending on the thickness of your custom orthotic, you may need to remove the existing insole for the best fit.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Use a leather-appropriate cream polish to nourish the leather and maintain its color.
Is the heel height consistent across all sizes?
Yes, the Gabor Elder series features a consistent 1.5cm heel lift to provide subtle, uniform elevation across the size range.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray to add a layer of water resistance before wearing them in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels slightly stiff when new
Leather is a natural material that softens with wear. Try wearing them for short periods around the house to help them mold to your feet.
Heel slippage
If you experience slippage due to the wider D-fit, consider using a high-quality heel grip or a thin insole to improve the internal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Gabor Elder shoes in optimal condition, treat the leather with a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying and cracking. Ensure they are kept away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the material. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the classic loafer shape. If the shoes become wet, wipe them with a dry cloth and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
