FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Yes, Gabor Wisdom shoes feature a UK C+ Standard (Gabor F) width fitting, which is designed to provide a more comfortable fit than very narrow standard UK sizes.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, these shoes come with removable insoles, allowing you to insert your preferred orthotics or custom insoles for personalized comfort.

What is the best way to clean the black suede?

For daily maintenance, use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or stains, apply a quality suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The suede material is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable water and stain protector spray designed for suede to offer some resistance against light moisture and protect the material.

What seasons are these shoes best for?

While designed with spring and summer in mind due to their breathable leather lining and style, their versatile design can make them suitable for year-round wear in milder climates or indoor settings.

Does the chunky sole add significant weight?

The chunky sole is designed to provide a fashionable height boost and style without adding excessive weight, ensuring comfort during wear for extended periods.

How do I ensure the correct size?

It's recommended to refer to Gabor's specific sizing chart, particularly for their unique width fittings (UK C+ / Gabor F), and consider trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

Can these shoes be worn for long walks?

Yes, with their comfortable leather lining, supportive design, and removable insoles, Gabor Wisdom shoes are well-suited for extended periods of walking and daily wear, offering both style and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct Gabor width fitting (UK C+ / Gabor F), which might differ from standard sizes. Utilize the removable insoles to try a thinner insole if needed, or allow for a short break-in period as the suede may soften with wear.

Suede uppers are stained or looking dull.

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For specific stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Regular application of a suede protector spray can help prevent future stains.

Laces frequently come undone or zip snags.

Ensure laces are tied securely. If the zip snags, gently try to free any fabric caught. A stiff zip can be lubricated with a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a dedicated zip lubricant.

Care

  1. Cleaning Suede Uppers: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  2. Leather Lining: Wipe the interior gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
  3. Sole Care: Clean the synthetic sole with a damp cloth as needed to remove debris.
  4. Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain protector spray suitable for suede to prolong the shoe's life and maintain its appearance.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
