FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the Gabor Balban series features a D+ width fitting, which is specifically designed to accommodate wider feet comfortably.

How do I put these boots on quickly?

Once you have adjusted the laces to your desired comfort level, you can simply use the side zip for easy entry and exit without needing to re-tie the laces.

Are these boots waterproof?

The boots are made of suede, which is not naturally waterproof. We highly recommend applying a suede protector spray to increase resistance to water and stains.

Can I replace the insoles?

The Balban boots feature standard insoles. If you use orthotics, ensure they fit the width profile of the shoe, though the factory insoles provide optimized comfort.

What is the heel height?

The heel height for the Balban model is 3cm, offering a balance between style and practical comfort.

Troubleshooting

Zip is difficult to pull up or down

Check the track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Applying a small amount of clear candle wax to the zip teeth can also help lubricate the mechanism.

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently rub the suede in one direction with a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and restore the soft texture.

Water marks on the suede

Lightly dampen the entire surface of the boot with a specialized suede cleaner or a very slightly damp cloth, then let it dry naturally with paper stuffing inside to hold the shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous D+ width ensures extra room for comfort
  • Combined lace and zip closure for a secure, custom fit
  • Modest 3cm heel is ideal for all-day wear
  • High-quality suede material provides a premium look

Cons

  • Suede material requires protection against rain and mud
  • Limited to specific width fitting
  • Not suitable for extreme hiking or rugged terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gabor Balban boots last as long as possible, treat them with a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time. This creates a barrier against moisture and surface dirt.

Care Instructions:

  1. Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dust after each wear.
  2. If the suede gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can make the material stiff or brittle.
  3. For stubborn marks, use a specialist suede eraser.
  4. Ensure the zip remains free of grit or debris to maintain smooth operation.
