FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather offers natural water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a protective spray to enhance their resistance against rain and moisture.
What does G-width mean?
G-width indicates that the boots have a slightly wider fit than a standard 'D' width, offering more comfort for those who need additional space in the forefoot.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
No, these are fashion ankle boots designed for urban walking and casual use, not for rugged hiking or outdoor trail terrain.
How should I clean the pleated section?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any debris trapped in the pleats, then wipe clean with a cloth.
Do I need to break these in?
Leather boots typically require a short break-in period. Wear them for short walks around your home to allow the leather to adapt to your foot before wearing them for long excursions.
Troubleshooting
Side zipper feels stuck or stiff
Gently rub a wax candle or a silicone-based zipper lubricant along the teeth of the zipper to improve smoothness.
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a leather cream and buff with a soft brush or polishing cloth to restore the natural luster.
Boots feel slightly tight across the instep
Ensure the zipper is pulled up fully and consider using thinner socks until the leather naturally softens and conforms to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gabor Dreamvelour boots, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before wearing them outside for the first time, apply a leather-specific waterproofing spray to protect against moisture and staining.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust after each wear. If the leather becomes muddy, clean it with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air-dry away from direct heat sources.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner every few weeks to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help the boots maintain their shape and prevent unwanted creasing in the pleated leather.
