Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are the insoles truly removable?
Yes, the Gabor Wisdom Trainers feature removable insoles, allowing you to easily insert custom orthotics or preferred insoles for personalized comfort and support.
How do I clean the navy suede material?
For routine cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede-specific cleaner according to the product's instructions. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
These trainers feature a comfortable 35mm heel height, providing a subtle lift while maintaining stability and comfort for everyday wear.
What kind of fit do these trainers offer?
The Gabor Wisdom Trainers are designed with a standard UK C+ (Gabor F) width fitting, offering a comfortable and accommodating fit for most average foot widths.
Can I wear these trainers in all seasons?
While the suede material and design make them ideal for spring and summer, their robust construction and versatile style allow for comfortable wear into autumn, especially when treated with a suede protector.
What types of outfits pair well with these trainers?
These trainers are incredibly versatile. They can be paired with casual wear like jeans and shorts, or dressed up with trousers, skirts, and dresses for a smart-casual or elegant everyday look.
Do the zip and laces both function?
Yes, both the zip and lace closures are functional. The laces allow for an initial customized fit, and the zip provides convenient and quick on-and-off access once the laces are adjusted to your preference.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight.
First, ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for your foot. Use the laces to fine-tune the fit across the top of your foot. Also, consider if the removable insole is present; removing it might offer more space, while adding a thicker insole could provide a snugger fit.
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For more stubborn marks, use a suede cleaning product specifically designed for suede footwear. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
The zip closure is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully try to move the zipper pull. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed along the zipper teeth can often help lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zip.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear.
While these trainers offer good comfort, individual needs vary. Try experimenting with the removable insoles. You might benefit from replacing them with custom orthotics or a different type of cushioned insole that better supports your foot arch or provides additional padding.

Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper stains, employ a suede cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as these can damage suede. 2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains. 3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to maintain their shape. Do not store in plastic bags, as suede needs to breathe. 4. Drying: If wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
