Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they are manufactured to standard UK sizing. However, if you are between sizes, consider your preferred width and whether you plan to wear hosiery.

Can I wear these for walking long distances?

While they offer better support than many pumps, they are not designed for long-distance walking; they are best suited for office work and light walking.

How do I clean the decorative bow?

Use a soft, dry brush to gently remove dust from the bow. Avoid getting it wet, as moisture can alter the texture of the material.

What is the best way to store these pumps?

Store them in a breathable shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and prevent the bow from being crushed by other footwear.

Are these suitable for people with wide feet?

The Gabor design philosophy prioritizes comfort, but if you have notably wide feet, you may find the standard fit snug initially.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort after the first few hours of wear

This is common for new heels; use silicone gel insoles to provide extra cushioning and reduce pressure on the ball of the foot.

Slight slippage at the heel

Apply adhesive heel grips inside the back of the shoe to secure your foot and prevent chafing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated design with a unique decorative bow
  • Superior foot support for a dress shoe
  • Suitable for both professional and casual environments
  • Durable build quality for long-term wear

Cons

  • Heels require a break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Limited to formal or smart-casual styling
  • Specific sizing (UK 8.5) may not suit all foot widths

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gabor pumps maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the material to conform to your unique foot shape before all-day wear.
  2. Surface Compatibility: Best suited for indoor environments, offices, and paved city streets. Avoid walking on loose gravel or uneven dirt paths to prevent heel scuffing.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use a shoe tree to maintain the structure of the toe box and the decorative bow.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. For specific material care, ensure you use a cleaning agent compatible with the shoe's finish.
