FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the premium leather offers some resistance to light splashes, these shoes are not waterproof and should be treated with a leather protector spray for enhanced water repellency.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the leather to shrink, crack, and lose its shape. Always clean them by hand.
What is the purpose of the zip-lace combination?
The laces allow you to adjust the fit to your foot's width once, and the zipper allows you to slip the shoes on and off subsequently without untying them.
How do I choose the right size?
Gabor sizing is generally true to size. If you plan on wearing thick socks or using thick orthotic insoles, you may want to consider your usual UK size or verify with a standard measuring tool.
Can I replace the original insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and replaceable, making them ideal for users who need to swap in specific clinical or personal insoles.
Troubleshooting
Zipper becomes difficult to pull up
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the track. You can gently rub a wax candle or graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate them.
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a high-quality neutral leather cream or polish to nourish the leather and restore its natural luster.
Insole becomes uncomfortable
Remove the insole and ensure it is laying flat without folded edges, or replace it with a new insert if the original has lost its cushioning properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Gabor Wand trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Use: If you intend to use custom orthotics, remove the factory-fitted insoles before your first wear to ensure a proper internal volume.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-specific cleaner for deeper stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can crack or deform the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather upper when the shoes are not in use.
