FAQs

Can I put my own orthotic insoles in these boots?

Yes, the insoles are removable, making the Gabor Lake boots compatible with most custom orthotics.

What is the heel height of the Gabor Lake boots?

These boots feature a 3.5cm platform sole.

Are these boots waterproof?

The boots are made of leather and offer standard weather resistance, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.

How do I maintain the leather?

Clean regularly with a damp cloth and treat with a high-quality leather cream to keep the material supple.

Does the C+ width fitting run true to size?

Yes, C+ is a standard width, but the 'Best Fitting' design provides extra room at the ball of the foot for added comfort.

Can I use the zip only to put these on?

While the zip makes removal easy, we recommend loosening the laces occasionally to ensure the leather remains supple and the fit remains accurate for your foot.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff

Apply a small amount of clear beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve sliding performance.

Boot feels too tight across the forefoot

Remove the included insole to create more internal volume, or swap for a thinner aftermarket insole.

Laces coming undone

Ensure you are using a double knot or replace the factory laces with a slightly textured synthetic lace that holds knots better.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dual zip and lace fastening for easy wear
  • Removable insoles allow for medical-grade orthotic insertion
  • Platform sole provides extra cushioning and style
  • High-quality leather construction
  • Broadened insole area for increased comfort

Cons

  • C+ standard width may be narrow for some users
  • Textile lining is less insulating than premium fleece linings
  • Platform height may require adjustment period for those used to flats

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure you adjust the laces fully the first time you wear the boots, then use the side zip for subsequent daily use. If you use custom orthotics, simply remove the factory insoles before placing your custom ones inside the boot. To care for the leather uppers, wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth after use to remove road salt or dirt. For long-term protection, apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically formulated for black leather to prevent drying and cracking. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can prematurely degrade the adhesive in the platform sole.
